Attestation Services FAQs
Common inquiries regarding document authentication procedures.
How long does document attestation typically take?
Processing timelines vary by document type, origin country, and required authentication levels. Standard processing ranges from 7 to 15 working days, while expedited services can reduce this to 3 to 5 days for urgent requirements.
Can you handle documents from any country?
We manage attestation for documents originating from most countries, with specific expertise in Indian, Pakistani, Philippine, Egyptian, British, and American documentation. Each country follows distinct verification protocols which our consultants navigate efficiently.
Is original document required or will copies suffice?
Most attestation procedures require original documents for authentication. However, certain preliminary verifications and online submissions may accept certified true copies. We advise based on your specific document type and destination requirements.
Do you provide translation services for attested documents?
Yes, we coordinate certified legal translation into Arabic or other required languages. Translations are performed by court-approved translators and subsequently attested to ensure government acceptance.
What is the difference between attestation and apostille?
Apostille is a simplified certification valid only between Hague Convention member countries. Attestation is the comprehensive authentication process required for UAE and non-Hague countries, involving multiple government and embassy verifications.
