True copy Attestation is the process of certifying a copy of an original document as a certified original. For official purposes, a true copy of the document is usually required to prove that the document is authentic and has not been tampered . Check the original document, sign the copy and stamp it with the statement “I certify that this document is an exact copy of the original.” The authenticity of the copies is usually made for the following documents, even if they are used or sent outside the United Arab Emirates:
Passports
IDs
Utility bills
Tenancy contracts (EJARI)
Application forms
Academic documents
Experience certificates
Photos
In UAE, true copy attestations of personal documents are generally done by lawyers, notary public or different authorities that issued the document. For instance, as for company documents (license, share certificate, commercial registry etc.), authorities that issued the document can certify their true copy.
On the other hand, some jurisdictions (e.g. Australia, New Zealand, Canada, United States, United Kingdom etc.) require various legal documents to be witnessed and stamped by a lawyer or a solicitor, to be valid.
