Certificate attestation is the process of verifying the authenticity of documents by authorized government bodies. This ensures that your educational, personal, and commercial documents are legally recognized in the UAE. The process involves a series of checks, stamps, and seals from various authorities, both in the country of origin and the UAE.
Why is Certificate Attestation Required?
Attestation is required for a variety of reasons:
Employment in the UAE
Pursuing higher education
Obtaining family or residence visas
Starting a business or opening a bank account
Legal proceedings and other official purposes
Without proper attestation, your documents may not be accepted by UAE authorities, which can delay or even halt your plans.
