What It Means
What is a certified true copy
A certified true copy is a copy of an original document that has been checked and certified as a true and accurate match of that original by a licensed UAE lawyer. Once certified, the copy carries an official stamp or signature confirming it matches the original, so it can be handed to government departments, banks, universities and other institutions in place of the original document.
Certified true copy attestation is different from full document attestation or notarization of a legal agreement. It is focused on confirming that a copy is a genuine match of an original, which is why it is commonly needed for passports, ID cards, certificates and company documents.
