A Certified True Copy is a photocopy of an original document that is verified and stamped by a licensed lawyer or notary to confirm its authenticity. It is commonly required for visa, banking, court, property, or consular use.

1. Licensed Lawyer
   

   • Best for legal documents (e.g., contracts, power of attorney, affidavits).

   • Their seal and license number make the document legally enforceable.

1. Notary Public (Government or Private)
   

   • For contracts, declarations, and official notarizations.

   • Available at Dubai Courts, DIFC, or licensed private notaries.

1. Commissioner for Oaths (if applicable)
   

   • For sworn declarations and affidavits, especially in common law-related matters (e.g., DIFC).

1. Consulate or Embassy Official
   

   • For documents intended for use in your home country or for consular applications.

1. UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA)
   

   • While MOFA doesn’t witness signatures directly, they attest documents that have been properly witnessed or notarized.

Important Notes:

• Self-witnessing or using a friend/colleague is not legally accepted for most official documents.

  • Power of Attorney (POA)
