Birth Certificate Attestation from UAE Embassy and UAE MOFA
If you are applying for a family visa, sponsoring a child, or planning to update family records in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), then Birth Certificate Attestation from the UAE Embassy and UAE MOFA is a compulsory legal requirement. This process verifies that the birth certificate issued in Pakistan is genuine and accepted for official use across all UAE institutions, including immigration, schools, and healthcare services.
As of 7th July 2024, the UAE government has implemented a New Digital Attestation System in Pakistan. Under this system, the UAE Embassy in Islamabad no longer pastes physical stickers on documents. Instead, all attested documents are issued in digitally verified PDF format, accompanied by a MOFA-issued attestation report. These digital attestations are now fully accepted across all UAE departments and eliminate the need for physical handling or courier delays.
To attest a birth certificate for the UAE, the following steps are involved:
-
The NADRA-issued Birth Certificate must be submitted for verification.
-
It must be authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pakistan (MOFA Pakistan).
-
The document is then sent to the UAE Embassy in Pakistan for digital attestation.
-
Finally, the certificate is digitally verified by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).
The attestation confirms the child’s birth details and is required when applying for dependent visas, Emirates ID registration, school admission, or medical coverage in the UAE.
