A divorce certificate requires attestation when it is used to update marital status on a UAE visa, support a new sponsorship or marriage application, or resolve a legal matter involving family status. As with other personal-status documents, UAE authorities will not accept an unattested divorce certificate as valid proof.
The Attestation Process
- Home-country court or registrar verification
- UAE Embassy attestation in the issuing country
- MOFA UAE final certification
