Benchmark Attestation Services provides certificate and document attestation in Dubai, UAE for personal, educational and commercial documents. We assist with embassy attestation, document legalisation, translation and end-to-end support across the UAE.
Documents issued outside the UAE may need attestation before they can be accepted for official purposes in the country.
Certificate attestation is the process used to verify that a certificate and its recognised seals or signatures are genuine.
The correct route depends on the document type, issuing country and intended use in the UAE. It may include verification in the issuing country followed by the required UAE stages.
Attestation may be required when a foreign-issued certificate is submitted to an organisation in the UAE. The receiving organisation decides what verification is required.
For spouse, child and dependent sponsorship applications that require civil records.
For selected financial, legal, property and authorisation matters involving foreign documents.
For public-service applications requiring authenticated supporting documents.
For admission, visa or recognition of qualifications issued outside the UAE.
For employment files and qualification checks in regulated roles.

Cost depends on your document, the country that issued it and the service you need. We send a written quote before we start. The quote includes 5% UAE VAT unless stated otherwise. Government fees are listed on their own. Any extra service is shown in the quote.
The time depends on your document, its country of issue and the steps it needs. We give you an estimate in working days after we check the case. Weekends and public holidays do not count. If the estimate changes, we tell you and give a new one.
Yes, in many cases. It depends on your document and what you need it for. Some cases still need the paper original. We check this before work starts.
Usually not. We can make the required submissions while you stay in the UAE. Some cases still need your original document or personal attendance. If yours does, we tell you before you pay.
A name mismatch may cause an authority to hold or refuse your document. We check the visible details before we send it. If proof or a correction is needed, we tell you first.
Every original we receive is logged and kept secure in Dubai. If a step is done abroad, we use a tracked courier. We also share the tracking details.
We check what has already been done and tell you what is left. If an earlier step cannot be used, we explain why before we send anything.
If a UAE authority holds or rejects your document, we explain the reason they give and what you can do next. If the case can continue, we tell you what is needed and give a new estimate.
We accept bank transfer, card and cash. Payment is due in full before work starts. We issue the invoice once payment is received. Your written quote sets out the service and the amount due.
Yes. If you cancel before we send your document to the authority, we refund the Benchmark fee in full, less any costs already spent on your case. Government fees cannot be refunded once they are paid.
We return it to you or to someone you name in writing. Each completed original is sent by tracked delivery. This gives a clear record of the handover.
No. We cannot promise that every UAE office, employer or other body will accept a document. We check it and handle the agreed steps. Government bodies issue the stamps. The place that receives your document makes the final call.
