Affidavit Attestation Services in Dubai

Fast & Reliable Services

An affidavit is only useful once it is legally recognized — and in the UAE, that recognition comes through notarization and
attestation, not just a signature. True Copy Attestation helps individuals and businesses in Dubai prepare, notarize, and attest
affidavits so they are accepted by UAE courts, government departments, banks, and foreign embassies without delay.
Whether you need an affidavit for a visa application, a property transaction, a custody matter, or a business declaration, our
team manages the entire process — from drafting through Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) attestation — so you don't have to
navigate multiple offices on your own.

What Is an Affidavit

and Why Does It Need Attestation?

An affidavit is a written statement of fact that a person signs voluntarily and swears to be true, usually in front of a notary public
or oath commissioner. On its own, a signed affidavit only confirms that the signer made the statement under oath it does not
automatically prove the document's legal standing to a third party such as a bank, embassy, or court.
Attestation closes that gap. It is the formal verification process typically involving notarization, followed by checks from the
relevant UAE authority and, where required, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) that confirms the affidavit is genuine and
was executed correctly. Without attestation, many UAE entities and foreign authorities will simply refuse to accept the document.

Our Affidavit Attestation Process

We keep the process to four clear stages so you always know where your document stands.

01

Document Review & Drafting Support

Send us your affidavit (or the details you want included) and we'll review it for accuracy and compliance before notarization,
flagging anything that could cause rejection later.

02

Notarization

We arrange for your affidavit to be signed in front of a licensed UAE Notary Public, with identity verification via passport and
Emirates ID.

03

Government Attestation (MOFA)

Once notarized, we submit the affidavit for attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is required for the document
to be recognized outside the notary's jurisdiction.

04

Embassy / Apostille Attestation (if required)

For affidavits intended for use outside the UAE, we coordinate any additional embassy legalization or Hague Apostille certification
needed in the destination country.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most standard affidavits are notarized and MOFA-attested within 1–2 business days. Affidavits requiring embassy legalization or
Apostille certification may take longer, depending on the destination country’s embassy processing time.

Yes. Visitors can have affidavits notarized and attested in the UAE using a valid passport, though some document types may
require an Emirates ID or additional identity verification.

Yes. UAE notary regulations require the signer to be physically present and sign the affidavit in front of the notary public.

MOFA attestation is required whenever the affidavit will be used outside the notary’s immediate jurisdiction — including for most
embassy submissions, foreign visa applications, and international business use.

Notarization confirms the signer’s identity and that they signed voluntarily. Attestation is a separate, additional step where a
government authority (MOFA, or an embassy) verifies the notarized document itself, making it valid for official use beyond the
notary’s office.
