What is document attestation and why do I need it?
Attestation is the process of verifying that a document is genuine and legally recognised. Whether you are using a document for employment, education, residency, or legal purposes, attestation ensures it is accepted by the relevant authority, wherever it needs to go.
Which documents can be attested?
Most official documents can be attested, including educational certificates, marriage and birth certificates, powers of attorney, commercial documents, and personal identification papers. If you are unsure whether your document qualifies, we will confirm it for you straight away.
How long does attestation take?
Timelines vary depending on the type of document, the issuing country, and the authorities involved. Once we assess your document, we will give you a clear timeline before anything begins.
Do I need to be present during the attestation process?
In most cases, no. Once you hand your documents over to us, we manage the entire process on your behalf. We will only reach out if something specific requires your attention.
Can you attest documents issued outside the UAE?
Absolutely. We handle attestation for documents issued in a wide range of countries. The process and requirements will vary depending on the country of origin, and we will walk you through everything clearly from the start.
