What is Certificate Attestation?
Certificate attestation is a legal process that proves your documents are authentic and valid for use in the United Arab Emirates.
For family visas, documents must be:
Verified in the country where they were issued
Legalized by the UAE Embassy or Consulate
Finally attested by MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) in the UAE
Without this process, your family visa application may face delays or rejection.
