Certified True Copy of Driving License for Vehicle Insurance
Get a certified true copy of your driving license for a new motor insurance policy or an active claim, examined and certified in house by our own licensed UAE lawyers.
A certified true copy of your driving license, for insurance purposes, is a duplicate of your original license that a licensed UAE legal professional has examined against the original and endorsed as a genuine, accurate copy. It carries a certification stamp or endorsement that gives the insurer confidence the copy matches the original document.
This is different from a plain photocopy or a scan you produce yourself. Insurers generally ask for a certified copy specifically because they need a verified record, not a self-declared one.
Certified Copies for Insurers, Handled Correctly
If your insurer has asked for a certified true copy of driving license for insurance in Dubai, this page explains what that means, who it is for, and how we handle it for you.
Who Typically Needs This
Who Can Attend, and Representative Rules
The license holder should attend in person with the original driving license, since the legal professional needs to examine the original before certifying a copy of it. This is a standard requirement across UAE certification practice, not something specific to us.
If the license holder cannot attend, a representative may be able to bring the original document along with a power of attorney or written authorization.
How It Works
- Contact us with your document details and the reason your insurer is requesting a certified copy.
- Bring the original driving license and your ID to the appointment for examination.
- The document is examined and certified in house by one of our own licensed lawyers or legal consultants.
- Collect your certified true copy.
- Submit the certified copy directly to your insurer or claims handler.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Real Situations This Covers

A policyholder is filing a claim after a minor collision, and the insurer’s claims team requests a certified copy of the license that was valid on the date of the incident.
An expat switching to a new insurer at renewal is asked to resubmit certified identity and license documents as part of the new insurer’s onboarding process.
How This Differs From General Driving License Certification
Our main Certified True Copy of Driving License page covers certification for any purpose. This page focuses specifically on what insurers tend to expect, including timing around policy underwriting and claims, since those deadlines are often less flexible than other uses.
Our plain-language guide explains how these differ.
