What is Document Attestation?

Document attestation (also referred to as legalization) is the process of verifying the authenticity of documents issued in one country so they are recognized in another—such as the UAE. Depending on the country of origin, the process involves a series of steps through governmental and diplomatic channels.

This is especially important in Dubai and other Emirates where attested documents are often mandatory for visa applications, job placement, business incorporation, and academic admissions.

Why is Document Attestation Necessary?

Attestation is required for a wide range of purposes, and here’s why it matters in the UAE:

Legal Compliance

UAE law mandates that foreign-issued documents be verified to ensure they are legitimate and valid for legal use.

International Acceptance

Once attested, documents can be used confidently within the UAE for everything from immigration to licensing.

Visa Processing

Attested educational, marriage, and birth certificates are typically required when applying for employment, residency, or student visas.

Business Incorporation

Business owners must submit attested incorporation papers, financial records, and licenses to register companies and open branches in the UAE.

Fraud Protection

The verification process helps guard against forged or invalid documents.

Smoother Transactions

Whether it’s buying property, entering contracts, or applying for permits, attested documents reduce legal friction.
