To attestation your birth certificate means officially certifying which makes your birth certificate eligible for use overseas, particularly in countries such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and others.

Birth Certificate Attestation Process in Pakistan

In Pakistan, there are multiple steps to birth certificate attestation, and each step ensures to confirm the authenticity of your document:

Step 1: Local Issuance of Birth Certificate

First things first, ensure that your birth certificate issued by NADRA (National Database and Registration Authority) is in English and with all personal information accurately filled.

Step 2: Attestation from Foreign Office (MOFA)

Your birth certificate needs to be attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in Pakistan first. This step verifies the document type through the Government of Pakistan.

Step 3: UAE Embassy Attestation (If Going to UAE)

Once MOFA attests the original document, they will send it to the UAE Embassy or Consulate in Islamabad or Karachi for them to attest it. The process needs to be executed correctly. If not, your document could be rejected outside of Pakistan.

Why does your Birth Certificate need to be attested for the UAE?

If you’re obtaining a UAE visa (for a child, spouse, or family), the authorities in the UAE will want to see that you have had your birth certificate attested. The UAE government takes pride in ensuring that every document is entirely legally verified.

The most common reasons for attestation for the UAE are:

• To bring your family onto a residence visa
• To prove parent-child relationship
• To get your children registered at schools in the UAE
• Process dependent visas
