How True Copy Attestation Works in the UAE

When handling important paperwork in the UAE—whether for immigration, banking, employment, education, or legal procedures—one term you’ll often encounter is True Copy Attestation. This simple yet essential process ensures that a copy of your document is verified as a genuine and accurate representation of the original.

At Key Corner Legal, we help individuals and businesses complete this process efficiently, securely, and in full compliance with UAE requirements.

What Is True Copy Attestation?

True Copy Attestation is the process of confirming that a photocopy of a document is a faithful, unaltered, and complete copy of the original. It is commonly required by:

• Government authorities

• Banks and financial institutions

• Visa and immigration offices

• Licensing and regulatory bodies

• Universities and professional councils

  
  

Once attested, the certified true copy can be used for official submissions without needing to hand over your original documents.

Who Can Certify a True Copy in the UAE?

In the UAE, True Copy Attestation must be performed by an authorized professional. This includes:

• UAE lawyers/legal consultants

• Notaries public

• Certain embassy or consulate officials

• Authorized corporate service providers

  
  

At Key Corner Legal, our licensed team is authorized to review your documents and issue legally recognized Certified True Copies.

How the True Copy Attestation Process Works

Here is a simple breakdown of how the process typically goes:

1. Present the Original Document

You must provide the original document for verification. Without the original, no true copy certification can be done.

2. A Clear Copy Is Compared

A clear, complete photocopy is reviewed side-by-side with the original to ensure accuracy.

3. Identity Verification (If Required)

Some authorities require the presenter’s identification (e.g., Emirates ID or passport).

4. Attestation Seal and Signature

Once verified, the document is stamped with a Certified True Copy seal, signed, dated, and marked with the attestor’s details.

5. Issuance of the Certified True Copy

The certified copy is then ready for submission to the required authority.
