The steps, plainly
- 1
Know what attestation actually does
These services include a variety of attestations through which individuals can confirm or prove certain legal facts or relationships. In practice, an attestation turns a private statement into something an official entity will accept and rely on, so identify the exact fact or relationship you need recognised before you begin.

Match your need to the right type
The most common types are Acknowledgment of Parentage, to legally document the relationship between parents and their children when required; Acknowledgment of Gift (Hiba), to document property transfer or donations between individuals in a legally recognised manner; and other general attestations such as financial declarations, authorizations, or other personal statements requiring official authentication.

Gather the documents for your specific case
The exact papers depend on which attestation you are requesting — a parentage acknowledgment, a gift, or a general personal statement each call for their own supporting evidence. Bring your identity documents plus whatever proves the fact you are declaring, and confirm the current checklist on the authority's own website before you go.

Submit before the judicial authority
Attestation is carried out before the judicial authorities in the UAE, so the declaration is made and recorded through the official channel rather than privately. Follow the submission path published by Dubai Courts or the Ministry of Justice for your document type.

Check fees and timing at the source
The amount payable and how long the process takes are not fixed here, and we will not guess them. The current figures must be checked on the authority's website at the time you apply, because they change.
Fees and timelines may change — verify with the official source.
