Attesting Singaporean Documents for the UAETo use a document that was issued within Singapore in the UAE, it will first need to be attested. Whether it is a birth, marriage or death certificate, an educational qualification or in fact any other personal or company document that originates from Singapore, let us save your precious time so you can get on with more interesting things. How does it work?Attesting a UK document can be complicated, especially as the process is different depending upon the type of document you have, and who you need to present it to. To make things easier for you, we’ve outlined below the process that each document needs to go through, but bear in mind that the process for certain documents can vary from this. To be certain that we can provide you with fully accurate information, get in touch for your free personalised quotation. Initial Certification  Notarisation and VerificationMost Singaporean documents will need to go through an initial stage of certification. Typically this is the process whereby a Notary Public makes a certified and notarised copy of the original document, the notarised copy being the document that the attestation is processed on. Certain other documents may require verification from another government body. This step in the process is not however needed in the case of government-issued documents such as birth, marriage or death certificates. Pre-Legalisation  Legalisation by the Singapore Academy of LawMost documents will need to be certified by the Deputy Director at the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) before being presented to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During this stage, the seal (in the case of government-issued documents) or signature of the person that certified the document is checked for its validity. Once completed, the SAL will add a red certification seal to the document. Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Singapore  Apostille LegalisationOnce the document has been certified by the Singapore Academy of Law, it can be presented to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) for the application of an Apostille sticker. An Apostille is an international standard document that confirms to other countries that the attached document has been correctly validated in the originating country. UAE Embassy in Singapore  UAE Embassy AttestationThe final step in Singapore is to have the document stamped, known as attested, by the UAE Embassy in Singapore. During this stage an official UAE-government sticker and seal is applied to the document. This confirms to the authorities in the UAE that the document has completed all the required steps in Singapore. Ministry of Foreign Affairs (UAE)  MoFA Attestation (UAE)Once the document has reached the UAE, it requires a further attestation stamp by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the UAE which validates that your document has been processed correctly in Singapore. Some employers make arrangements to handle this for you, so you should check whether this needs to be completed by you or not. If you prefer to handle this process yourself, we can arrange for the required PCR test to be carried out before you attend. If your document does not require a final Arabic translation (see the next section), then once this stamp has been applied you can then use the document in the UAE. Translation Translation from English into ArabicIn certain circumstances, your document may also require translation into Arabic. Again, your employer may handle this for you so best to check. If required, the whole document and its relevant stamps are translated from English into Arabic by a recognised certified translator. Once the translation has been done, then everything has been completed to make it fully useable within the UAE.  Attestation Notes
