The certified copy carries a stamp or signature confirming this, which allows institutions to accept it in place of the original. This differs from a standard photocopy or a self-declared copy, neither of which carries any official confirmation. It also differs from full document attestation, which is typically used when a document needs to be recognized outside the UAE. Certified true copy attestation is generally used for domestic submissions such as visa applications, bank account opening, university admissions and government filings. Who Uses This ## Who uses these services - Individuals submitting identity or civil documents to banks, universities or government departments - Expatriates managing visa, residency or family status paperwork - Business owners submitting trade licenses or incorporation documents to authorities or partners - HR and compliance teams preparing employee documentation - Legal and accounting firms handling document submissions on behalf of clients The Process ## How it works The process is the same whether your document is personal or corporate. STEP 1 Tell us which document you need certified and why. STEP 2 We confirm the requirements and book your appointment in person at our office, online or on a home visit. STEP 3 Bring the original document and valid identification to the appointment. STEP 4 The document is examined and certified as a true copy. STEP 5 You receive the certified copy ready for submission. Before Your Appointment ## What to bring Requirements vary by document type, but most appointments call for the following. - The original document, not a photocopy - Valid identification such as a passport or Emirates ID - Company documents such as a trade license, for corporate certifications - Any specific instructions or forms provided by the receiving institution - A clear understanding of how many certified copies you need Know The Difference ## How this differs from notarization and attestation These three are related but distinct. Getting the wrong one is the most common reason a submission is rejected. This Site ### Certified true copy Confirms that a copy matches its original document. Different Service ### Notarization Generally applies to signing, witnessing or formally recording a legal document. Different Service ### Full attestation Typically a longer, multi-stage process required when a document needs recognition by a foreign authority. Our plain-language guide walks through which one your document actually needs.
