What is UAE Embassy Attestation, and why do I need it?
Indian documents cannot be used in the UAE without proper verification. UAE Embassy Attestation is the process of confirming that your documents are genuine and legally valid for use abroad. This authentication ensures that your certificates are original, trustworthy, and not forged, allowing UAE authorities to accept them for employment, education, immigration, business, or any official purpose.
Which documents require UAE Embassy Attestation?
Common documents needing UAE attestation include educational certificates (degree, diploma, mark sheets), personal documents (birth, marriage, divorce certificates), and commercial documents (company registration, invoices). In short, any document that you want to use in the UAE will need UAE consulate attestation.
