When you plan to move, work, or study in another country, you must get your papers certified. This step makes sure other nations accept your documents as legal. At CCS Law, we provide full document certification services in London. We aim to help you through the often tricky steps of making your papers valid for use abroad.
What Does Document Attestation Mean?
Document certification also called legalisation, checks if your papers are real so you can use them in other countries. This process makes sure foreign officials will accept your documents. You often need to certify many types of papers, from school records to legal and business documents.
Why Do You Need Attestation?
You need certification when you want to use UK papers in other countries, whether for personal, school, or work reasons. Each country has its own rules, and the process changes based on the kind of document. For example, if you move to the UAE, you might need to certify your degree for your visa. Or, if you start a company in another country, you may need to certify your business registration papers.
Documents That Need Attestation
These documents often require attestation:
Degree Certificates: Needed to work or study further overseas.
Birth and Marriage Certificates: Essential for getting residency visas or moving to another country.
Power of Attorney: Needed to have legal representation in other countries.
Business Papers: This includes company sign-ups, deals, and other work-related documents.
How Attestation Works
Lawyer or Notary Check: Most times, a UK lawyer or notary needs to check documents before moving to the next step.
Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) Stamp: After checking, the document goes to the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office to get an Apostille Stamp. This stamp makes the document okay to use in other countries and is key for many nations, including those in the Hague Convention.
Embassy Sign-off: After getting the Apostille, the document might need more checking from the right embassy in the UK, like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, or China, based on where it's going. Each embassy has its own rules and steps to sign off on documents.
MOFA Attestation for UAE
When you move to the UAE, your papers need to go through the UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) after UK authorities approve them. MOFA approval marks the last step to make sure the UAE accepts your documents.
