Details on True Copy Attestation in the United Arab Emirates and Dubai
In Dubai and the rest of the United Arab Emirates, a certified true copy of a document is a photocopy of the original that has been signed and stamped by a lawyer or solicitor, confirming that it is a true and accurate copy of the original. When the original document cannot be provided to the appropriate authority that has requested it, true copies of the document are usually needed. After genuine copy attestation is completed in Dubai, the following papers are typically needed to be presented: bank statements, tenancy contracts, passports, utility bills (DEWA bills), phone bills, pictures, and degree certificates. True copies of application forms, attested and witnessed by lawyers, may occasionally be required to be attached.
The Significance of Verified Copy Attestation in Dubai and Other UAE Regions
In the UAE and around the world, a true copy of a document is a crucial way to verify its legitimacy. We receive requests from clients in Dubai and throughout the United Arab Emirates for authentic copies of papers that they must provide to a variety of entities, including embassies, government agencies, banks, regulatory authorities, and other organizations. As part of the requirements for immigration to Canada, the United Kingdom, Hungary, Australia, the United States, New Zealand, Malta, Portugal, Antigua & Barbuda, Grenada, Dominica, and other countries, many of our clients usually ask for the certified true copies. Additional prerequisites include filing paperwork for court proceedings, opening bank accounts, establishing offshore businesses, applying for admittance to different schools, etc.
It is crucial to realize that notaries public in Dubai and the other Emirates do not offer genuine copy attestation services for any document unless the original notary public issued the document. Put another way, only lawyers are authorized to perform genuine copy attestation for almost all papers in the United Arab Emirates in Dubai and other locations.
We obtain this service from our partner attorneys.
Residents of the United Arab Emirates continue to contact us with questions on the distinctions between notarization, legalization, and true copy attestation. One of these attestations will eventually be required of all UAE citizens for transactions conducted inside or outside the country.
For instance, in order to secure your UAE residency visa, your employer may want that you provide a “attested” or “legalized” degree certificate. However, if you plan to conduct business outside of the United Arab Emirates, you might be required to provide “true copies” or “notarized copies” of your utility bills and passport.
Thus, it’s common to find the words true copy attestation, legalization, and notarization perplexing when used in the United Arab Emirates. Here are a few fundamental variations:
What is True Copy Attestation in Dubai and UAE?
A lawyer does a true copy attestation in Dubai and throughout the United Arab Emirates. In order to provide this testimony, the attorney first authenticates the disputed original document, then copies it and attests that the copy is an accurate and true replica of the original. Usually, a lawyer signs and dates the photocopy and stamps the document to attest to its authenticity. You could be required to get your document notarized in specific circumstances. This is unclear since notaries public in the United Arab Emirates do not perform genuine copy attestations; instead, judicial attestations are recognized as an acceptable substitute globally.
Passports, utility/DEWA bills, employment credentials, and any other documents issued inside or outside the UAE are common documents that require true copy attestation in the UAE.
In certain cases, if necessary, a genuine copy attestation of a passport may entail the attorney attesting to the accuracy of the passport’s photo. In order to fulfill this prerequisite, the individual must appear in front of the attorney in order to complete the necessary attestation.
Rule of thumb
You will probably need to get a true copy attestation of the document issued by a lawyer if it is needed to be used outside of the United Arab Emirates. In this context, “notarization” refers to true copy attestation performed by a lawyer in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
What is Document Legislation?
When obtaining a residence visa or completing a transaction in a government department or court within the United Arab Emirates, documents issued outside the country—such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, degree certificates, powers of attorney, etc.—need to be legalized.
The following steps are part of the process:
- The notary public notarizes. A legal certification process called notarization attests to the authenticity of a document.
- Authorization by the home country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
- Verification from the UAE Embassy in the initial nation.
- The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs has attested to this.
- Attestation from the Ministry of Justice in the United Arab Emirates (following Arabic translation if necessary).
Rule of thumb
You must follow the aforementioned procedure to have your document legalized if it was issued outside of the United Arab Emirates and has to be used within the country. In this sense, legalized is meant when the terms “attestation,” “certification,” or “apostille” are used.
What is Notarisation?
A notary public witnesses the signature of a document or attests to its legitimacy during the notarization procedure. In the United Arab Emirates, notaries public witness a restricted assortment of papers, including powers of attorney, signatures, limited liability company memorandums of association, and specific kinds of affidavits. Arabic translations are needed for any documents signed in front of a notary public. Nevertheless, genuine copies of documents like utility bills and passports are not issued by notaries public.
Rule of thumb
Your document must be written in Arabic or in English and Arabic (bilingual format with attestation by a legal translation) if it must be signed in front of a notary public. Some nations will accept documents that are notarized by a notary public but are issued in English and attested by a lawyer if they must be used outside of the United Arab Emirates. Affidavits, powers of attorney, and various application forms are among the paperwork. Before signing the document, you should confirm that it complies with the requirements in the applicable nation.
In Dubai or other Emirates, a certified true copy of a passport is an authentic copy of the original document that was issued by a lawyer. In order to issue the authentic copy, the attorney must first authenticate the original document in person, then copy the passport and certify that the copy is an accurate and true copy of the original passport. For this true copy attestation, the lawyer normally sets his or her stamp in Dubai and throughout the United Arab Emirates. Certain procedures or transactions that are conducted outside of the United Arab Emirates can call for the certification. These transactions typically involve creating bank accounts, incorporating businesses, transferring property, and facilitating immigration.
Should the attorney be asked to confirm the identity shown in your passport, you will have to go see the attorney in person so they can attest that the picture is an accurate representation of you. Any other individual can give the lawyer your passport for this attestation if the photo is not needed to be confirmed.
Lawyers perform this attestation because true copies of passports are not certified by notaries public in the United Arab Emirates. Therefore, having a genuine copy of your passport issued by a UAE lawyer is basically necessary if you are obliged to notarize it in the UAE.
In Dubai, a photocopy of the original document that has been confirmed as authentic by a lawyer is known as a certified true copy.
To have your documents signed and stamped, get in contact with a genuine copy attestation provider like InZone. A lawyer will attest your photocopies of the documents; all you have to do is give the originals.
In Dubai, the true copy attestation charge is as little as AED 599. For a very reasonable fee, InZone attests authentic copies of a wide range of papers.
For a variety of reasons, including business setup, immigration, bank account creation, property-related transactions, etc., attestation of true copies is necessary.
In Dubai, only a licensed attorney or solicitor is able to vouch for the authenticity of documents.
In the UAE, attestation of true copies of certificates can be finished in a matter of minutes. After placing an order via the InZone website and setting up an online or in-person meeting, the attestation process will be completed by a lawyer with ease.
An identical photocopy of the original document that has not been altered or varied is called a true copy.
A true copy is an identical photocopy of the original document. A certified true copy is an authentic document that has undergone verification and attestation by a licensed attorney.
A certified true copy of the original document is stamped by a lawyer after it has been cross-checked. Notary public notarization, on the other hand, entails witnessing signatures and authenticating them.
The following list includes some typical papers that typically call for attestation:
- Passports
- Educational certificates
- Tenancy contracts
- Bank statements
- Photos
