If you have chosen to work with Lawyer Arnold Ashaba (also known as “Arnold the Ugandan Lawyer”) for your document attestation, you are engaging a practitioner well-versed in immigration and document legalization in Kampala.
To complete the process using his services, here is the specific workflow you should follow:
1. Contact and Verification
Arnold Ashaba typically operates as a general practitioner with a focus on immigration and company law among others. You can reach his team to initiate the process:
- WhatsApp/Phone: +256 700 906 554 or +256 709 669443

2. The Step-by-Step Workflow with a Lawyer
When using a lawyer for UAE attestation, the process usually moves faster because they handle the “physical” queues at government offices for you.
Step A: Notarization (The Lawyer’s Role)
As an Advocate and potentially a Notary Public, Arnold will first certify your documents as “True Copies” or witness your signature on affidavits/Powers of Attorney. This is the foundation for all subsequent stamps.
Step B: Ministry Verification (The “Legwork”)
Depending on your document, the lawyer’s clerk will take the documents to:
- Relevant Authority: e.g., Ministry of Education (for degrees) or URSB (for marriage/business docs). If it is a university or institution issued document, the lawyer goes to that Institution and certifies the document before getting Ministry of education stamp, foreign affairs stamp and MOFA UAE stamp
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) Uganda: The lawyer will get the official “Legalization” or apostilling stamp from the Kampala office.
Step C: UAE Embassy Attestation
The UAE Embassy in Kampala requires documents to be authenticated by the Uganda MOFA first.
- Lawyer’s Task: He will submit the documents to the UAE Embassy (often via their authorized service center, VFS Global) and pay the embassy fees on your behalf.
- Fee Tip: Ensure you clarify if his quote includes the UAE Embassy fee which usually does not exceed USD299 to handle everything except the courier fees.
Step D: Handover or Courier
Once the UAE Embassy stamp is secured, the lawyer will return the documents to you. If you are already in the UAE, he can courier them to you via DHL or FedEx.
3. What You Must Provide to Him
To avoid delays, provide Arnold with the following:
- Original Documents: The UAE Embassy rarely accepts scans for attestation; Uganda Foreign Affairs Ministry and Education Ministry need to stamp the copy after looking at the original physical paper.
- Copy of your Passport: Required for record-keeping and KYC purpose.
- Clear Instructions: Specify if the document is for a Work Visa, Family Residency, or Business Setup, as requirements can vary slightly.
4. Final Step (In the UAE)
Even with a lawyer’s help in Uganda, the document is not “active” in the UAE until it receives the Final MOFA Stamp.
- You can do this yourself at a MOFA center in Dubai/Abu Dhabi or ask your employer’s PRO to handle it once the document arrives from Uganda.
