Certificates Attestation Importance for UAE & Some Other GCC Countries

Author: MD Sakir

In the worlds there are some countries which are not coming under the Hague convention and it means that they are not the contracting states of the Hague convention these countries are the GCC Except Oman. In these entire GCC countries document must have to get attest from the authentication process to the concerned Embassy Legalization. All most preliminary process is common for All the GCC countries Like HRD Authentication and Ministry of the External Affairs Attestation.

What document need to get attest totally Depends on the nature of job/work what have to done. There are so many documents which UAE Embassy Attest like commercial Document, Educational document and Personal document.

For the UAE Attestation certificate Must have to be Completed from state level HRD process of the same state where document have originated then Ministry of External Affairs and Final UAE Embassy attest. This is for the Employment visa. Marriage certificate and Birth certificate are also attested by the UAE Embassy but this certificate is done for only the Dependent Visa.

Now a day so many agencies are located in the market to claim the UAE Embassy Attestation but the most important thing for the people that must check the past record of the agency. Actually this is matters of the safety of the document.

In the GCC countries only Oman is the country where Embassy Attestation / Consulate Attestation /Apostille all these are accepted. But to get the Apostille and Embassy Attestation for the Oman is some difference.

In Saudi countries to get Employment visa it is mandatory that Academic certificate must to get Attested from Saudi culture and Saudi Embassy. Saudi culture is just to verification of the document with the issuing university. It is rule of Saudi Embassy that only After getting the Verification report from university Saudi Embassy Attest the Educational Document. One things more important that verification report should be clearly mention that certificate is genuine and have studied in regular mode. It means that Saudi Embassy never attest the Private /Correspondence course that have done from any university.

So my motto is just clear to here the importance of Attestation because most of the people just want the Attestation but before Attestation it should be clear that for which you are looking attestation. Almost All the Embassy in India have their own guidelines how will be Attest, what earlier Attestation required and How much would be processing time totally decide by the Embassy.
