What is a Marriage Certificate?

The couple, witnesses, and officiant all sign a document that witnesses to the marriage’s completion. It also contains information about the ceremony, such as the date and location.

What is a marriage certificate attestation?

If your marriage certificate lacks authenticating stamps, it will not be accepted internationally. Authorities in other nations are informed that a document has been legally procured and is authorized for use in official procedures through the authentication and legalization process, often known as an apostille or attestation. The nation that issued the document and the nation in which it will be utilized are both partners in the process. It would be difficult for a nation to prove the authenticity of a document issued by another nation without this procedure.

How to attest Marriage certificate in the UAE?

Marriage certificate attestation in the UAE is a multi-step process that certifies the legitimacy of your marriage certificate from your home country, allowing it to be recognized and legitimate in the UAE for a variety of purposes such as visa applications, employment, and other legal needs.

Here’s a summary of the general steps in the attestation process:

  1. Notarization of the Marriage Certificate: The marriage certificate must first be notarized in the country where it was issued. A recognized notary public certifies the document’s validity and verifies it as a true copy of the original.
  2. Attestation by the home country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA): The MOFA or a comparable authority in your home country should attest the document after notarization. This stage checks the document’s authenticity and ensures that it fulfils the required standards.
  3. Attestation by the Home Country’s UAE Embassy: Following that, the UAE Embassy or your home country’s consulate in the UAE must certify the marriage certificate. This is to ensure that the marriage certificate is recognized and can be legally used in the UAE.
  4. Translation of the marriage certificate (if required): If the marriage certificate is not in official Languages, it may need to be translated. The translated document should also go through the attestation process.
  5. Final Attestation by the UAE’s MOFA: Upon arrival in the UAE, you must get the document attested by the UAE’s MOFA. This is the final proof of the document’s legitimacy and legality in the UAE.
  6. Additional Attestation from the Respective Consulate in the UAE (if required): Depending on the purpose of the attestation, you may require further attestation from your home country’s consulate in the UAE.

It is critical to have all of the necessary documents ready, including the original marriage certificate, valid identity documents for both spouses, and any other documents requested by the authorities. Also, check to see if a notarized Arabic translation of the marriage certificate is required. This laborious process aims to make your marriage certificate valid for use in the UAE for legal, personal, or employment purposes.

Remember that the standards and method may vary significantly depending on your specific scenario or changes in the regulatory environment, so it’s always a good idea to talk with or engage professional attestation services to ensure a smooth process.
