TRUE COPY ATTESTATION UAE
True Copy Attestation in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, UAE
A certified true copy is a document issued by a lawyer, bearing their signature and stamp, to verify that it is an exact replica of the original. Such attestation is typically necessary for various documents like passports, DEWA/utility bills, and employment letters. Government authorities, embassies, consulates, banks, and private institutions worldwide often require true copy attestation.
In the UAE, the attestation of personal documents is typically carried out by lawyers, notary publics, or the relevant authorities that issued the documents. For example, when it comes to company documents such as licenses, share certificates, and commercial registries, the authorities responsible for issuing the documents can certify their true copies.
In contrast, certain jurisdictions such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, United States, and United Kingdom mandate the requirement for legal documents to be witnessed and stamped by a lawyer or solicitor in order to ensure their validity.

True Copy Attestation by a Lawyer vs. Notary Public
Legal processes often lead to confusion between document attestation and notarization, with many mistakenly assuming they are synonymous. Our clients frequently request notary attestation for their documents, highlighting the common mistake of interchanging the terms. However, it is crucial to recognize that there are distinct differences that set them apart.
True Copy Attestation
When the original document is not available, it is necessary to provide certified copies of the required documents. In Dubai and across the UAE, this attestation process is carried out by a lawyer. The lawyer carefully verifies the original document, then signs and stamps the photocopies with the statement “I certify that this document is a true and accurate copy of the original.”
In the UAE, there are several common documents that necessitate true copy attestations, such as passports, utility bills/DEWA bills, and employment certificates. These documents, when witnessed by a lawyer, serve various purposes, including visa applications, company registrations, real estate transactions, and opening bank accounts.
In the UAE, it is often necessary to provide a certified copy of your passport for various transactions. These may include opening a bank account, establishing a company, immigration processes, and property transfers. To obtain the certified copy, you will need to personally visit a lawyer who will verify that the photo on your passport accurately represents you.
Notary Public Attestation
A document can also be attested by a notary public. The notary public serves as a witness to the document’s signing and verifies its authenticity, a process known as notarization. Only a notary public has the authority to perform this procedure.
In the UAE, a notary public plays a crucial role in notarizing various documents, including power of attorney, signatures, memorandum of association, and specific types of affidavits. It is important to note that these drafted documents must be translated either into Arabic or English and Arabic. However, it’s worth mentioning that the notary public does not offer true copies of documents like passports and utility bills.
In certain countries, the document is signed and sealed by a notary public, whereas in other countries, like the UAE, this is not the case. In the UAE, the notary public not only signs the document but also applies their official stamp and includes additional details pertaining to the notarization.
