Certified True Copies in Dubai
Need a certified copy for a bank, KYC, company, university or visa? We arrange Certified True Copies for passports, Emirates ID, proof of address, bank statements, corporate records and other documents. Send the recipient’s wording or checklist first; we confirm the required certification format and arrange the original-to-copy check. For the lawyer-certified route we provide, a licensed UAE lawyer signs and stamps the copy after comparison with the original.
Certified Copy of Passport in Dubai
Passport certification is one of the most common requests. For our lawyer-certified route, the original passport is made available for comparison and a clear copy is checked against it. The lawyer then signs and stamps the copy. If the bank, company, university, compliance team or other receiving organisation has given you specific certification wording, send that wording to us before the appointment so the requirement can be checked first.
Documents We Commonly Certify
- Identity documents: passport, Emirates ID, visa page and driving licence.
- Proof of address and financial records: utility or DEWA bills, tenancy documents and bank statements.
- Corporate documents: trade licence, incorporation documents, MOA/AOA, board resolutions, share certificates and company records.
- Personal and professional documents: degree certificates, employment letters, marriage or birth certificates, application forms and similar records when the receiving organisation asks for a certified copy.
How Certified True Copy Service Works
1. Send the Requirement
Send a scan or clear photo first, together with the receiving organisation's wording or checklist if you have one. This lets us confirm the document type, number of copies and certification wording before arranging the original.
2. Original-to-Copy Check
For our lawyer-certified true copy service, the original document is made available to the lawyer and the copy is checked against it. A scan sent by WhatsApp is useful for pre-checking, but it does not replace the original-to-copy comparison for this service.
3. Lawyer Signs & Stamps
After the comparison, the lawyer signs and stamps the copy with wording confirming that it is a true copy of the original. Where the receiving organisation has supplied its own wording, that requirement is reviewed before certification.
4. Receive the Certified Copy
You receive the lawyer-certified copy for submission. If you need several originals of the certification, tell us the required quantity in advance so the correct number can be prepared and individually certified.
Confirm the Recipient’s Required Certification Format
Different recipients can ask for a lawyer-certified copy, a notarized copy or specific certification wording. Send the requirement exactly as received and we will confirm whether our Certified True Copy route matches it before you proceed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Send the document and the receiving organisation’s requirement first. We confirm the required certification format and arrange the original-to-copy comparison. For the lawyer-certified route we provide, a licensed UAE lawyer signs and stamps the copy after checking it against the original. If the recipient asks for a notarized copy or different form, follow that specific requirement.
For our lawyer-certified true copy service, yes. The lawyer needs the original available for comparison with the copy. You can send a scan first for pre-checking, but the scan alone is not what the lawyer certifies as a true copy of the original.
Common requests include passports, Emirates ID, proof of address, utility bills, bank statements, tenancy documents, employment letters, degrees and corporate records such as trade licences, MOA/AOA and board resolutions. If your document is different, send a scan and the receiving organisation's requirement and we will check whether it fits our lawyer-certification service.
Not necessarily. A lawyer-certified true copy confirms that a copy has been checked against the original and certified by the lawyer. If your instruction says “notarized copy”, “lawyer-certified copy” or another specific form, follow that wording rather than assuming the terms are interchangeable. If the receiving organisation also asks for translation, we can coordinate a separate legal translation service.
There is no single validity period we can promise for every use. The receiving organisation decides whether it will accept an older certification or requires a recently dated copy. If your checklist gives a date limit, send it to us before certification so the copy is prepared for that application.
Yes. Tell us how many certified copies the receiving organisation requires. The requested copies are prepared for the lawyer's certification individually rather than assuming one certification automatically covers additional copies.
