Affidavit Attestation in Dubai – Everything You Need to Know

If you need to make a formal legal statement in Dubai — such as declaring your marital status, sponsoring a family member, confirming residency, or addressing a lost document — you’ll likely need an affidavit. And to make it legally valid, you must go through the affidavit attestation process.

In this blog, we’ll explain what an affidavit is, why attestation is required, and how to get your affidavit attested in Dubai.

What is an Affidavit?

An affidavit is a written legal declaration that confirms a statement to be true, made voluntarily under oath or affirmation. It is used for personal, professional, or legal matters and can serve as valid evidence in front of government departments, courts, or embassies.

Common Uses of Affidavits in the UAE:

• Proof of single/marital/divorce status

• Sponsorship declarations

• Lost passport or document declaration

• Change of name affidavit

• Proof of address

• No objection certificates (NOC)

• Legal consent letters

• Power of attorney support documents

  
  

Why You Need Affidavit Attestation in Dubai

To be accepted by UAE authorities or foreign embassies, your affidavit must be officially attested to prove:

• It was signed by you voluntarily

• Your identity has been verified

• It is legally valid for submission

Without proper attestation, your affidavit may be rejected by immigration departments, universities, courts, or embassies.

How to Get an Affidavit Attested in Dubai – Step-by-Step

1. Draft the Affidavit

You can write the affidavit yourself or ask a legal consultant to draft it professionally. It must clearly state your declaration, name, ID details, and purpose.

2. Visit a Licensed Lawyer or Commissioner for Oaths

Sign the affidavit in the presence of a:

• UAE-licensed legal consultant

• Commissioner for Oaths

They will verify your ID and witness your signature.

3. Attestation by Notary Public or Court (if required)

If the affidavit is to be used inside the UAE, it may also be notarized at Dubai Courts. For international use, additional steps like embassy attestation or MOFA attestation may be needed.

4. (Optional) Legal Translation

If your affidavit is in English and needs to be submitted in Arabic (or vice versa), it must be translated by a certified legal translator before submission.
