Key Entities & Terms in Salary Certificates

B. MOFAIC (Ministry of Foreign Affairs & International Cooperation)
If you need to use your salary certificate outside the UAE—or for formal applications like immigration—MOFAIC attestation is often mandatory. They verify the authenticity of official documents for international recognition.
C. Chamber of Commerce
Before MOFAIC attestation, many documents (including salary certificates) require Chamber of Commerce stamping to confirm the employer’s legitimacy. Fees vary by emirate, usually ranging from AED 100–200.
D. IVS Global
IVS Global processes affidavits and attestations for certain nationalities, often in collaboration with embassies and consulates. For instance, those earning below AED 10,000 might need an IVS Global affidavit before further attestation.
E. Employee ID, Emirates ID & copyright Number
Your Employee ID is an internal reference in your organization. Emirates ID is your national identity card, and the copyright Number identifies you internationally. Including these helps banks, landlords, and authorities verify your identity.
F. Trade License Number
For companies registration in the UAE, the Trade License Number is a legal identifier issued by the Department of Economic Development (or a Free Zone Authority). It often appears on official documents to prove the business is legitimate.
G. Basic Salary, Gross Salary, and Net Salary
- Basic Salary: The core amount you earn before any allowances.
- Gross Salary: Your basic salary plus allowances (housing, transport, etc.).
- Net Salary: What you take home after deductions (like social security or other contributions).
