Certified True Copy of Child’s or Minor’s Emirates ID
Get a certified true copy of your child’s Emirates ID for school admission or family documentation, examined and certified in house by our own licensed UAE lawyers.
A certified true copy of a child’s or minor’s Emirates ID is a photocopy of the child’s ID card, examined against the original and certified by a licensed UAE legal professional.
Schools, nurseries and some government and travel processes ask for a certified copy of a child’s Emirates ID as part of admission files or family documentation, separately from the parent’s own identity documents.
Certified Emirates ID Copies for Children and Minors
If a school or authority has asked for a certified true copy of a child’s Emirates ID in Dubai, this page explains who needs to attend, what to bring, and how the process works.
Who Needs This
Who Can Attend
A parent or legal guardian must attend with the child’s original Emirates ID.
Depending on the receiving authority’s policy the child may also need to be present, so confirm this with the school or authority beforehand.
How It Works
- Contact us with the purpose, such as school admission, and your preferred appointment time.
- Attend with the child’s original Emirates ID, and bring your own original Emirates ID as the attending parent or guardian.
- One of our own licensed lawyers or legal consultants examines the child’s original card and certifies the copy.
- Collect the certified copy, ready to submit to the school or authority.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Real-World Situations
Parents enrolling their daughter in a new Dubai school are asked to submit a certified true copy of her Emirates ID along with the admission file.
A family transferring their son between schools mid-year is asked for an updated certified copy of his Emirates ID for the new school’s records.
Guardians completing a minor’s travel documentation are asked for a certified copy of the child’s Emirates ID as part of the supporting paperwork.
How This Differs From General Emirates ID Certification
This page covers a child’s or minor’s Emirates ID specifically, where a parent or guardian’s attendance and consent are part of the process, unlike certifying an adult’s own Emirates ID. See the main Certified True Copy of Emirates ID page for the general adult process.
Our plain-language guide explains how these differ.
