What is Sworn Affidavit Attestation in Dubai?
Sworn affidavit attestation in Dubai is the official process of validating a written statement made under oath before a licensed public notary in the UAE. This legal procedure confirms the authenticity of your sworn declaration and makes it acceptable to UAE government authorities, courts, embassies, and international organizations. The attestation process transforms your personal statement into a legally binding document that can be used for various official purposes including visa processing, property documentation, legal proceedings, and business transactions throughout the UAE and abroad.
Importance of Attesting Affidavits and Wills
Proper attestation is essential for your affidavits and wills to be legally recognized. Unattested documents risk rejection by UAE authorities or foreign institutions. For example, UAE courts and government agencies require verified seals and signatures on submitted documents. Attesting your affidavit or will guarantees it will be accepted for visas, immigration, court cases, property transactions, inheritance proceedings, and more. In fact, recent UAE updates mandate that documents used for official purposes must have valid attestation stamps (e.g., embassy attestation not older than 10 years) to avoid rejection. By using our attestation services, you ensure full legal compliance and avoid costly delays or denials.
What Is the Step-by-Step Process for Sworn Affidavit Attestation in Dubai?
Step-by-Step Sworn Affidavit Attestation Process in Dubai
Step 1: Document Preparation
Prepare your unsigned sworn affidavit in the prescribed format. The document must contain only firsthand information and facts you personally know. Ensure all sections are complete with no blank spaces, as UAE notaries will not accept incomplete documents.
Step 2: Gather Required Documents
Collect all necessary identification and supporting documents:
- Original passport with clear photocopies (consular signature page, first/last pages, valid visa page)
- Emirates ID (original and photocopy)
- Valid driver’s license (if applicable)
- Two sets of photocopies of all documents
Step 3: Visit a Licensed Public Notary in Dubai
Schedule an appointment with an authorized public notary in Dubai. Popular locations include Dubai Courts, DIFC Courts, and licensed notary offices throughout Dubai and the UAE. Ensure the notary is recognized by UAE authorities for affidavit attestation services.
Step 4: Identity Verification Process
The public notary will thoroughly verify your identity using your original documents. This crucial step ensures the person making the sworn statement is authentic and prevents fraudulent declarations.
Step 5: Sign the Affidavit Under Oath
You must sign the sworn affidavit in the physical presence of the public notary. The notary will observe the signing process to ensure you’re acting voluntarily without coercion or duress. This witnessing requirement is mandatory under UAE law.
Step 6: Notary Seal and Signature
After witnessing your signature, the public notary will:
- Apply their official seal/stamp
- Add their signature to the document
- Record the transaction in their official journal
- Include date, time, and location of notarization
Step 7: Fee Payment
Pay the required attestation fees, which vary based on document type and additional services requested.
