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

Re: Attesting UK certificates in the UAE
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 😊

I put them in a"safe place" to then never be found when needed ha! Getting the copy attested and not the original so if lost its no biggy just have to go through all this again!

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
