Default Attesting UK certificates in the UAE

Hi all

Does anyone have any experience in getting certificates attested here in the UAE please? I have already got some certificates attested which were done in the UK prior to moving here but needing to get work appropriate ones done in order to obtain a visa!. Any companies that do it for you over here that don't take too long. TIA

What kind of certificates do you wish to attest?

If I remember rightly mine had to be done in the UK (something about them having to be attested in the UAE Embassy in the country they were issued). So first they were attested by a notary public and then they were sent to the UAE Embassy in London.

All in all it was a ball ache and cost me a fortune in couriers. Thankfully my mum sorted out all the UK side for me.

Yeah they do have to be sent to the UK which is a pain. There are companies that do it all for you though which yes cost more but it's cheaper than a flight n hassle of sorting myself!
Think I've found a company 😊

That's good. Just remember to make lots of copies and keep the attested ones somewhere safe. I needed mine this year and nearly had kittens when I couldn't find them!

I'm sure I had to send the originals too. Agreed they put the stickers, stamp and ribbon etc on a copy, but I could have sworn the original had to be with them for inspection.

Maybe worth confirming before you send em.

Yeah when I take them maybe so but if verified by a solicitor that they are copies of an original after solicitor seeing the original then the copy is fine. The company have sent me the info so should be alright I hope
