Where Else are Attested Birth Certificates Required?

In cases where you supply an authorized body based in a foreign country with your birth certificate, it is required that the same have been attested from your country of origin. This validates the document before the assessing party. One good example is when you wish to sponsor a child to the UAE, in which case, his or her birth certificate would need to carry attestation from the issuing country, so that it could be validly used for one or more of the following purposes.

• Applying for a fresh passport
• Visa application (for a child without a passport)
• Admission to a school or other educational institution (the birth certificate would essentially be proof of age)
• Name change at school, or on a government-related document

The process of attestation for Dubai or UAE can be completed in the country, which issued the document in question. In order to make this usable in the UAE, attestation should be done by the issuing country’s Ministry of External Affairs, respective home department, or a corresponding UAE embassy. After you have completed the required birth certificate attestation Dubai recognizes said certificate as valid. The following documents would need to be furnished for a birth certificate to be attested in this manner.
