What It Is ## What Is a Certified True Copy of a Bank Statement or Utility Bill? A certified true copy is a copy of your bank statement, utility bill or similar document that a licensed UAE legal professional has examined against the original and marked as a true and accurate copy. These documents are commonly used as proof of address or proof of financial standing. This covers bank statements, DEWA and SEWA utility bills, mobile and internet bills, and tenancy contracts. Requirements around how recent a document needs to be are set by the institution requesting it, not by the certification process itself, so it’s worth checking with them directly before your appointment. ## Who Needs This - Visa applicants asked to prove their UAE address - Individuals opening a new bank account who need proof of address - Tenants providing proof of income or financial standing to a landlord - Parents completing school admission paperwork that requires proof of address - New residents setting up utility accounts or other services - Business owners providing proof of financial standing for an application By Situation ## Bank Statement and Utility Bill Certification by Situation Choose the page closest to your situation for details specific to it, or read on below for the general process. - [Certified True Copy of Bank Statement for Visa Proof of Funds](https://certifiedtruecopydubai.ae/certified-true-copy-of-bank-statement-for-visa-proof-of-funds/) - [Certified True Copy of Bank Statement for Mortgage or Loan Application](https://certifiedtruecopydubai.ae/certified-true-copy-of-bank-statement-for-mortgage-loan/) - [Certified True Copy of Utility Bill for Proof of Address](https://certifiedtruecopydubai.ae/certified-true-copy-of-utility-bill-for-proof-of-address/) - [Certified True Copy of Tenancy Contract for Proof of Address](https://certifiedtruecopydubai.ae/certified-true-copy-of-tenancy-contract-for-proof-of-address/) - [Certified True Copy of Bank Statement for Business Account KYC](https://certifiedtruecopydubai.ae/certified-true-copy-of-bank-statement-for-business-kyc/) Attendance ## Who Can Attend The account or bill holder typically attends with the original document.

Since requirements can vary by receiving institution, it’s worth confirming your situation with us before the appointment.

Full attestation, which involves government ministries and sometimes an embassy, is generally reserved for documents like certificates and corporate paperwork rather than everyday proof-of-address documents. If an institution has asked for something beyond a certified true copy for one of these documents, that is worth confirming directly with them, since it is not the typical requirement. Our Certified True Copy vs Notarization vs Attestation guide explains the broader distinctions if you want more detail. Our plain-language guide explains how these differ.

The receiving bank, landlord or visa authority sets that requirement, so check with them directly before your appointment.

We recommend checking with the receiving institution and bringing the most official version available. Yes, DEWA and SEWA bills are commonly certified as proof of address.
