Birth certificate attestation is required for school admissions, family and dependent visa applications, and residence permit renewals in the UAE. Immigration and education authorities will not process an application with an unattested birth certificate, regardless of how straightforward the underlying document is.
When You Need This
- Applying for a child’s residence visa or dependent visa
- Enrolling a child in a UAE school or nursery
- Family sponsorship applications
The process follows the standard attestation chain: home-country verification (often through the issuing registrar or notary), UAE Embassy attestation, and MOFA UAE certification. Turnaround depends on the issuing country, and we provide WhatsApp updates at each stage so you always know where your document stands.
What You’ll Need
- Original birth certificate
- Parents' passport copies
- Applicant's passport copy (if applicable)
Typical Turnaround
5-10 working days, starting from the day we collect your original documents. Timelines depend on the issuing authority’s current processing queue – we’ll confirm a specific estimate for your document when you contact us.
