About This Service
What Is Marriage Certificate Attestation in Abu Dhabi?
Marriage certificate attestation is the official process of getting your marriage certificate verified and stamped by a chain of recognised government authorities, so that it is legally accepted in the United Arab Emirates. Without attestation, your marriage certificate has no legal standing in the UAE, and government departments, employers, and immigration authorities will not accept it.
In Abu Dhabi, an attested marriage certificate is required for a wide range of purposes, including applying for a spouse residence visa, adding a spouse to a family visa, processing a name change, enrolling dependants in school, opening joint bank accounts, and completing various legal or administrative procedures.
At Index Business Administration LLC, we manage the full attestation process on your behalf, from the country of origin through to the final UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) stamp in Abu Dhabi, with complete transparency and no hidden charges.
