F.A.Q

Answer

On average, getting an Indian degree certificate attested for use in Dubai takes 8 to 10 working days. This includes verification in India (Notary, sub divisional magistrate, MEA Delhi, UAE Embassy) and the final MOFA stamp in Dubai. If you’re short on time.

Answer

For educational certificates, the original documents are mandatory, along with copies of the passport, visa, or Emirates ID, as applicable. For personal certificates such as marriage, birth, or death certificates—many of which are now issued digitally by Indian authorities—either the original or a clear color copy is accepted. You will also need to provide the sponsor’s passport copy and visa copy, as well as the passport copy of the document holder, if required.

Answer

Yes. If you plan to sponsor your spouse or apply for a family visa in the UAE, your Indian marriage certificate should have MOFA attestation from Dubai. Even if the MEA and UAE Embassy have already stamped the certificate in India, UAE immigration authorities will not accept it until MOFA completes the final legalization here in Dubai.

Answer

Certificate attestation is required for the UAE to verify the authenticity of documents to avoid illegal immigration to the country, particularly those issued in other countries, for use within the UAE.
