Driving License Certification in Dubai

If an employer, insurer, car rental company, or government department has asked for a certified true copy of driving license in Dubai, we handle the appointment so the copy is examined and certified correctly.

What It Is

What Is a Certified True Copy of a Driving License?

A certified true copy of a driving license is a photocopy of the front and back of the license that has been examined against the original and marked as a true and accurate copy by a licensed UAE legal professional.

Employers, insurers, vehicle leasing or rental companies, and some government departments often request a certified copy rather than holding onto the original license, since the holder usually needs to keep the physical card for driving.

Attendance

Who Can Attend the Appointment

In most cases, a representative can bring the original driving license to the appointment on the license holder’s behalf, since the certifying professional is confirming that the copy matches the original document.

Some receiving authorities may still require the license holder to attend in person. If you are unsure which applies to your situation, check with the authority requesting the certified true copy before booking, or ask us and we will help you confirm the requirement.

Before You Attend

What to Bring

Original, valid driving license (not expired)
A letter or form from the receiving authority stating their exact requirement, if provided
Emirates ID or another form of ID for the person attending, if requested by the certifying office
Any additional supporting document the requesting authority has asked for

The Process

How It Works

Contact us with your document details and the purpose of the certified true copy.
We confirm the requirement and book your appointment in person at our office, online or on a home visit.
You, or your representative where permitted, attend with the original driving license.
The professional examines the license, certifies the copy as a true copy, and issues it with the required stamps or signatures.
Collect your certified true copy or have it returned to you, depending on what you choose.

Know The Difference

Certified True Copy vs Full Attestation

A certified true copy of a driving license confirms that the copy matches the original card. It is not the same as full attestation, which is a separate legalization process typically reserved for documents that need to be recognized outside the UAE.

If your situation involves a license issued outside the UAE that needs recognition by a foreign authority, a different process may apply. Our Certified True Copy vs Notarization vs Attestation guide explains the difference in more detail.

Our plain-language guide explains how these differ.
