UK Certificate Attestation In Dubai
Like any other foreign national seeking residency in Dubai, UK nationals also have to provide attested certificates to apply for a visa. UK citizens must have their educational certificates attested by the relevant British authorities and the UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).
In the UK, attestation starts with the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) that offer apostille services. The procedure for getting documents attested in the UK has changed recently. Instead of starting the UK attestation process with a notary or the British Council in Dubai, all documents must be sent to a solicitor in the UK who verifies their legitimacy and provides a stamp of approval.
