What It Means

## What is a certified true copy

A certified true copy is a copy of an original document that has been checked and certified as a true and accurate match of that original by a licensed UAE lawyer. Once certified, the copy carries an official stamp or signature confirming it matches the original, so it can be handed to government departments, banks, universities and other institutions in place of the original document.

Certified true copy attestation is different from full document attestation or notarization of a legal agreement. It is focused on confirming that a copy is a genuine match of an original, which is why it is commonly needed for passports, ID cards, certificates and company documents.

Know The Difference

## Certified true copy vs notarization vs attestation

These three terms are often used to mean the same thing, but they are not. This site is focused on certified true copy attestation.

Different Service

Avoid Delays

## Common mistakes to avoid

A few avoidable errors account for most delays we see.

- Bringing only a copy to the appointment instead of the original document
- Assuming an uncertified photocopy will be accepted in place of a certified true copy
- Confusing a certified true copy with full document attestation, which is a separate process
- Leaving the request until the last minute when the institution has a strict deadline
- Not checking whether the receiving institution has specific wording or format rules before the appointment
