How to Attest Divorce Papers in UAE
Attesting divorce papers in the UAE is an essential process for ensuring that your divorce documents are legally recognized within the country. This is crucial for various legal, administrative, and personal matters, such as remarrying, updating personal records, or dealing with legal and financial arrangements. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get your divorce papers attested in the UAE:
1. Obtain the Original Divorce Papers
Ensure you have the original divorce decree or certificate issued by the relevant authority in your country of origin. This document must be in its original form for the attestation process.
2. Translate the Divorce Papers (If Necessary)
If the divorce papers are not in Arabic, they need to be translated into Arabic by a certified translator. This is a mandatory requirement for the documents to be accepted by UAE authorities.
Note: The translation must be done by a legal translator approved by the UAE Ministry of Justice or another authorized body.
3. Notarize the Divorce Papers
Get the original divorce papers and their Arabic translation notarized by a notary public. This step is essential to confirm the authenticity of the documents.
4. Attest the Divorce Papers by Your Home Country's Embassy or Consulate
Submit the notarized divorce papers to your home country’s embassy or consulate in the UAE for attestation. This confirms that the documents are authentic and were issued by a legitimate authority in your home country.
5. Obtain MOFA Attestation
After your documents have been attested by your embassy or consulate, you need to get them attested by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFAIC). This step confirms that the embassy or consulate attestation is recognized and valid within the UAE.
Process: Submit the notarized and embassy-attested documents to MOFAIC, either in person or through an authorized agent.
6. Verify Document Acceptance
Ensure that the attested divorce papers meet all the requirements and are accepted by UAE authorities. This step might involve verifying the documents with the relevant government or legal institutions where they will be used.
7. Receive the Attested Divorce Papers
Once attested by MOFAIC, collect your divorce papers. These documents are now legally recognized and can be used for any official purpose within the UAE.
