Overview
Document attestation in Dubai explained
Document attestation in Dubai is the process of authenticating foreign and local documents through a chain of official stamps — notary, home country ministry of foreign affairs, UAE embassy abroad, and UAE MOFA — so authorities, employers, and universities accept them.
Visa applications, company branch setup, educational equivalency, marriage and birth certificate family visas, and international contracts all require correctly attested documents. Incomplete chains cause rejection and costly delays.
KPM Global Services assesses your document origin country, identifies the required attestation sequence, coordinates embassy and MOFA steps, and integrates certified legal translation where Arabic or English copies are mandated.

- Couples attesting marriage certificates for spouse visa sponsorship
- Parents attesting birth certificates for children dependant visas
