[Document certification](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/document-certification/) confirms a copy, a signature or a translation. Verification confirms that the document itself is genuine, has not been altered, and is still current, meaning it has not expired or been superseded by a later version. A bank may ask for a certificate to be verified before it accepts it for a loan file. An employer may ask for a qualification to be verified before a job offer is confirmed. We check the document against what a genuine version should look like, and against anything you can show us about when it was issued, and we confirm what we found. We quote after reading the document, because the check depends on what it is and where it needs to go. ## Documents we verify ### Certificates and qualifications Confirming a certificate is genuine and has not expired. [Send your certificate](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/contact/) ### Company and licence documents Confirming a trade licence or company certificate is current. [Send your document](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/contact/) ### Bank and financial documents Confirming a bank statement or letter is genuine. [Send your document](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/contact/) ### Personal identity documents Confirming a passport or Emirates ID copy is current. [Send your document](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/contact/) ## What we check 01 The document itself Its format, stamps and signatures against what a genuine version carries. 02 The date Whether it has expired or been replaced by a later version. 03 The issuing authority Whether the document matches what that authority actually issues. 04 Your identity Passport or Emirates ID, where the document is personal to you. 05 What the request actually asks for Verification is not the same as certification, we confirm which applies. ## Getting the scope right Verification does not create a new document, and it is not the same as a certified true copy or a certification. It is a check, with our confirmation of what we found. If the bank, employer or authority wants a copy certified against the original, or a signature certified, those are different services. Tell us what the letter from the authority actually says and we tell you which check it needs. How a document is verified 01 ### Contact us Send a WhatsApp message or book online, with the request from the authority. 02 ### Share the document Send the document and anything that shows when it was issued. 03 ### We check it We compare it against a genuine version and confirm the date. 04 ### Receive our confirmation Collect our written confirmation, or ask for delivery. ### What it costs | Document | Fee | | --- | --- | | Document verification | We quote after reading the document | Fees may vary with the document; we confirm the figure before you sign. ## What to bring The original document, anything showing when it was issued, and your passport or Emirates ID. Verification ## Document verification Confirms a document is genuine and still current. Certification ## Document certification Confirms content, a signature or a translation. ![A notary examining a document closely at a desk](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/desk-4906d840.jpg) ## What decides whether verification is accepted An authority checks that our confirmation states plainly what was verified and on what date, and that it carries our notary’s stamp and signature. A verification that does not name the document and the date it covers is often sent back. - The confirmation names the document and its date - The stamp, signature and date of our check are present - The original was produced, not only a copy ## Who attends, and what we check You, or whoever holds the original document Passport or Emirates ID The original document, not a copy The issue date and any expiry Whether the authority also wants a certified copy ## Where a verification cannot proceed We cannot verify a document we cannot compare against a genuine original, such as a scanned copy with no original to check. We cannot confirm a document is current if it carries no date or no issuing details. Where the authority wants verification direct from the issuer, such as a university or a government department, we tell you that route instead of certifying something we cannot check. ## Common problems, and the fix 01 Only a scanned copy is available Fix: bring the original, or ask the issuer for a fresh copy. 02 No date on the document Fix: ask the issuer for a dated reissue before we check it. 03 The authority wants verification from the issuer directly Fix: we tell you the right route, rather than certify what we cannot check. 04 The document looks altered Fix: we tell you plainly, and point you to the issuer. After verification 01 ### Submit our confirmation Send it to the bank, employer or authority with the document. 02 ### Keep the original Keep the original document safe once we have checked it. 03 ### Add certification if needed Some requests also ask for a certified copy, tell us if yours does. 04 ### Keep our confirmation on file Useful if the same document is checked again later. ![A stack of paper documents on a desk](https://dubainotaryservices.ae/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/docs-paper-stack-2ecbbf-1.jpg) ## If you need more than verification Verification confirms a document is genuine and current.

No. Certification confirms a copy, a signature or a translation. Verification confirms the document itself. #### Can you verify a document issued abroad? Tell us where it was issued, some are better verified directly with the issuer. #### Do I need the original? Yes, we cannot verify a document from a scanned copy alone. #### How long does verification take? It depends on the document, contact us with the details and we tell you. #### What do I receive once a document is verified? A written confirmation from our notary, naming the document and what was checked. ## What clients say Reviews from our Google Business Profile, published as written. > Had experience of getting some of my documents attested from the firm.
