Certified True Copy Attestation in UAE
When you need to submit a copy of an important document in the UAE, some authorities and organizations may ask for certified true copy attestation. This confirms that the copy has been checked against the original document and may be accepted for official purposes based on the requirements of the receiving authority.

Â
A certified true copy is different from full document attestation. In some cases, additional notarization, embassy attestation, or MOFA attestation may be required depending on the purpose of the document and the country where it will be used.

Who Issues a Certificate of Incumbency?
To complete a true copy attestation, you need to provide the required documents and meet the conditions set by the relevant authority.
Original Document
The original document is generally required for verification. The authorized person compares the original with the copy before certification.
Clear Copy of the Document
A complete and readable copy must be provided. The copy should clearly show all important details, stamps, and signatures.
Notary or Certification Requirement
Some documents may require certification from a Notary Public or another authorized authority before they can be used for official purposes.
Valid Identification
A valid passport, Emirates ID, or another accepted identification document may be required to verify the applicant’s identity.
Supporting Information
Some requests may require additional forms or supporting documents depending on the requirements of the receiving organization.
Documents intended for use outside the UAE may require additional authentication, such as embassy attestation or MOFA attestation, depending on the destination country and purpose.
Common Reasons for True Copy Attestation Issues
A true copy attestation request may face delays because of:
- Unclear or incomplete copies
- Missing signatures or stamps
- Differences in names or personal details
- Expired identification documents
- Missing supporting documents
- Incorrect certification requirements
Therefore, reviewing the requirements before submission can help avoid unnecessary delays.
