Certified True Copy of a Child’s or Minor’s Passport

Certified True Copy of a Child’s Passport in Dubai

If a school, airline, embassy or visa authority has asked for a certified true copy of your child’s passport, we handle the appointment so the original stays with the family while a certified copy is prepared for submission.

Who Needs This

• Parents enrolling a child in a Dubai school or nursery
• Families applying for a dependent visa for a child
• Parents preparing a child travel consent letter alongside a certified passport copy
• Guardians handling documentation for a child in their care
• Families relocating and needing certified copies for multiple institutions at once

Who Can Attend

A parent or legal guardian normally attends with the child’s original passport. Where a child travel consent or NOC is also being prepared, some authorities expect both parents, or documentation explaining why only one parent is attending.

How It Works

1. Contact us with the child’s document details and the purpose of the certified copy
2. We confirm what is required, including any parental consent documentation
3. A parent or guardian attends with the child’s original passport
4. One of our own licensed lawyers or legal consultants examines the original and certifies the copy
5. You receive the certified copy, ready for school, visa or travel submission

Mistakes to Avoid

• Assuming a certified passport copy alone covers a child travel consent requirement, when a separate letter is often needed
• Bringing only one parent when the receiving authority expects both, or documentation explaining the absence
• Bringing an expired child’s passport
• Not checking whether the school or airline needs the birth certificate certified as well
• Leaving certification until close to a term start date or travel date

Real-World Examples

A family enrolling their child in a Dubai school is asked for a certified true copy of the child’s passport as part of the admissions file.

A family applying for a dependent visa for a newborn needs certified copies of the child’s passport and birth certificate together.

Certified True Copy vs a Travel Consent Letter

A certified true copy of a child’s passport confirms the copy matches the original. It is not the same as a child travel consent letter, which is a separate document authorizing a child to travel, often with one parent or a third party. Many families need both for the same trip.
