On October 12, 2026 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) announced the launch of its much-anticipated Digital Attestation System which will enable citizens to verify their documents remotely and efficiently. However, the new portal is drawing heavy criticism from applicants due to critical technical glitches as several major destination countries remain completely missing from the selection lists.
Critical Omissions Leave Users Guessing
Although the system was designed to issue digital e-Certificates via email, users report they cannot select their intended destination country. Major expatriate destinations like the UAE, Germany and Austria are entirely absent from both the general attestation and apostille lists. Furthermore, 14 key Hague Apostille Convention members including Greece and the Netherlands are excluded. Essential non-Hague nations like Qatar, Kuwait and Malaysia are also missing, forcing citizens to visit physical offices.
Interface Disorganization and Policy Confusion
Unfortunately, the country list has some formatting issues. It is not in full alphabetical order but also randomly shuffling nations such as Canada and Bangladesh to the very bottom. Also the portal doesn’t clearly state the policies around verifying documents on behalf of family members. These system portal errors make the platform less efficient than it could be in a digital setting until MoFA resolves the issues.
