US Consulate Dubai: Attestation Services

The US Consulate General in Dubai offers essential services to US citizens and residents in the UAE, such as notary services, emergency assistance, and passport renewals. However, for document attestation—like US birth certificates or US degree attestation for the UAE—you must complete the process in the United States, not in Dubai.

Here's what you need to know if you want to certify documents issued in the US for use in the UAE:

Why You Need Document Attestation

US Attestation is required for:

• Visa applications (employment, family, and residency).
• Enrollment in schools and universities.
• Employment or professional licensing.
• There are legal procedures like marriage and immigration.

To use US-issued documents in the UAE, follow these steps:

1. Certified True Copy: Obtain a certified true copy of your document in the USA.
2. State-Level Authentication: Verify the document's authenticity with the US state's Secretary of State.
3. US Department of State authentication: Get federal-level authentication from the US Department of State.
4. UAE Embassy Attestation: Submit the document to the UAE Embassy in the US for attestation.
