A certified true copy is the notary’s statement that a copy matches the original shown at the appointment. It does not confirm that what the document says is true. That is why the original must be present: a copy cannot be certified from a scan, a photo or another copy.

Meet our in-house notary public at Business Hub, Marasi Drive. Bring your originals and the document is signed and sealed in one visit.

Online is not possible for this one
Certifying a copy means the notary compares it with the original in the same room, so it cannot be done by video call. Choose an office appointment or a home visit instead.
How it works
- Call or message first. We confirm the document and what to bring.
- Bring the original and your ID. To our Business Bay office, or we come to you.
- The notary compares and certifies. The original stays with you.
- You receive the certified copy. Registered with Dubai Courts, with a verification barcode.
Before you come
Bring the original. Most repeat visits happen because only a copy was brought.
Count your copies. Each certified copy is its own act. If three offices each want one, ask for three.
Certification is not attestation. Certification says the copy matches. Attestation by an issuing body, MOFAIC or an embassy says the document is genuine. A degree going abroad often needs both.

Certified true copy questions
Can you certify from a scan or a photo?
No. The notary certifies that the copy matches an original that was present. Without the original there is nothing to compare.
Does it prove my degree is real?
No. It proves the copy matches the certificate. Whether the degree is genuine is confirmed by attestation from the issuing body and, where needed, MOFAIC and the embassy.
Can it be done online?
No. The original must be in the room. We can come to your home or office instead.
Do you keep my original?
No. It is compared in front of you and stays with you.
How many copies can I have certified?
As many as you need. Tell us the number at the appointment.

Google reviews
Had experience of getting some of my documents attested from the firm. Service was top notch. Mr. Ali explained everything in detail and was of great assistance. I would recommend the firm for any legal assistance or document attestation.
Highly recommended and excellent service. I had to do notarization for some documents and Miss Razan assisted us greatly with exceptional professionalism and courtesy.
Great and speedy service for getting the NOC to sponsor my child. Big thanks to Ali for handling everything smoothly and on time.
Excellent notary service. Everything was handled smoothly and professionally. They even agreed to schedule a call at a time that worked best for us, which was outside their usual practice, a real sign of their flexibility and client focus.
I am 100 percent satisfied with their true copy attestation, highly recommend.
I contacted this office for a notary today on Sunday. They processed my notary and I got my documents online the same day.
I needed a statutory declaration for New Zealand notarised. They did it for me online since I was based in Abu Dhabi. Thanks for your service.
Excellent service. They are an instant replying agency. Others take long hours to reply to simple questions. Highly recommended for notaries in Dubai.
Lovely staff, professional work, good knowledge. Highly recommended.
