We Handle Birth Certificate Attestation From Start to Finish
Birth certificate attestation confirms the signatures and seals on the certificate are real. UAE offices often ask for it before they will process a family visa or a child sponsorship. Without it, they may not accept the certificate.
Send us the certificate and we take it from there. We arrange every stage in the issuing country and here, then deliver it to you in Dubai.
Birth Certificate Attestation Across the UAE
Our office is in Oud Metha, Dubai. If the certificate is with you, we collect it. If it is still with family abroad, we start it there. We deliver across Dubai and the wider UAE, including Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the northern emirates.
Originals, Copies and Digital Certificates
A foreign birth certificate normally has to be the original. Copies are not usually accepted for birth records, even certified ones. A laminated certificate cannot be attested at all.
A UAE-issued certificate can be different. If it is digital and eligible, it goes through MOFA's digital route with no paper at all. Tell us where yours came from and we will confirm.
How We Handle Your Birth Certificate
We handle whichever route applies: free check, home country stages if needed, attestation, then delivery. Which stages apply depends on where the certificate came from and where it is going.
- We check it first, free. We confirm the certificate can be used, and tell you which stages it needs.
- We arrange the home country stages. Every country is different. We confirm the right route first.
- We complete the attestation. That finishes the chain, so you can use the certificate.
- We deliver it to you. Anywhere in the UAE, or collect it from our Oud Metha office.
Birth Certificates We Handle
We handle birth certificates from anywhere in the world for use in the UAE, and UAE-issued ones for use abroad.
The route depends on the country that issued it, and some routes changed recently. See Indian certificate attestation or UK certificate attestation for those two. For anywhere else, send us a scan and we will confirm.
How Long Does Birth Certificate Attestation Take?
It depends on the route. MOFA gives 1 to 3 working days for courier attestation. Eligible UAE-issued digital documents take two hours. Stages abroad usually take longer.
Tell us your visa appointment or school deadline in the first message. We plan back from it. If the date cannot be met, we say so before you pay.
What We Check Before Submission
Here is what we look for before anything is sent. Any of these can mean the certificate has to be fixed and sent again.
- A photocopy sent instead of the original
- A laminated certificate, which cannot be attested
- A name that does not match the passport
- A missing stage in the issuing country
- The wrong authority used for that country
- Torn, faded or water-damaged originals
We check for all of these first. That check is what you are paying us for.

F.A.Q
Q1. Is birth certificate attestation needed for a UAE family visa?
Answer
It is commonly asked for when you sponsor a child or apply for a family visa. Schools ask for birth certificates too, but whether they want an attested one varies. Send us yours and we will confirm.
Q2. Can I use a copy instead of the original?
Answer
For a foreign certificate, no. The original is normally needed, which is stricter than other papers. Never laminate a certificate, as that stops it being attested.
Q3. My child was born in the UAE. Does the certificate need attestation?
Answer
Usually when it will be used abroad, or when an office asks for it. If yours is digital and eligible, it can use MOFA’s digital route. Tell us where it is going and we will confirm.
Q4. Does the certificate need an Arabic translation?
Answer
MOFA needs it in Arabic or English, or with an official translation. The office receiving it may ask for more, so we check that first and arrange translation if needed.
Q5. How much does birth certificate attestation cost?
Answer
It depends on the country and which stages it needs. We quote the government, courier and service charges before we start. Send us a scan for a figure.
Send us a photo of the certificate. We will reply with the stages, timeline and price.
