ISO Certified & Government Authorized Legalization
Birth Certificate Attestation Services
Dependent and family visa applications for children almost always require an attested birth certificate as proof of relationship and age. This is one of the most time-sensitive attestation categories, since family visa timelines are often tightly linked to a parent's own work or residency visa approval.

When It's Needed, The Process & UAE Family Visas
Birth certificates go through Home Department verification, then MEA attestation, followed by either apostille or the destination country's embassy attestation depending on Hague Convention membership.

Clear Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about attestation procedures, document requirements, or embassy rules? Find direct answers below.
QWhose birth certificate needs attestation for a family visa — the child's or the parent's?
A
Typically the child's birth certificate, since it establishes the parent-child relationship that the family visa is based on.
QWhat if the birth certificate is in a regional language?
A
It generally needs to be accompanied by an official English translation before attestation, which we can help coordinate.
QIs birth certificate attestation cost the same across all states?
A
No — the underlying Home Department fee varies by the issuing state, though MEA and embassy stage fees are more consistent nationally.
QDo I need a fresh birth certificate if my original is old or damaged?
A
A certified copy from the issuing municipal or registrar's office is generally acceptable, provided it's authenticated as an official duplicate.
QCan birth certificate attestation be done for adult dependents?
A
Yes — it's not limited to minor children; adult dependents applying under family sponsorship categories may also need an attested birth certificate.
QHow does UAE birth certificate attestation differ from apostille-route countries?
A
UAE-bound birth certificates need the full Home Department → MEA → Embassy → MOFA chain, while Hague Convention countries only need Home Department → MEA → apostille.
QWhat documents support a birth certificate attestation application?
A
Typically the original birth certificate plus the parents' passport copies and, for family visas, the sponsor's visa or residency documentation.
QCan twins' or siblings' birth certificates be processed together?
A
Yes, multiple birth certificates from the same family can generally be submitted together for more efficient processing.
