Personal documents we attest
Why Green Line
PCC validity is different from attestation validity
Police Clearance Certificates carry their own validity window, typically 6 to 12 months from issue, regardless of attestation status. A PCC attested a year ago may need to be freshly issued and re-attested even though the attestation itself hasn’t expired. Check this before submitting one for a visa application.

The attestation process, step by step

- MOFA attestation in DubaiThe final stage.
Before any personal document reaches this chain, our team checks identity details, name spelling, date of birth, and consistency across supporting documents like your passport, since a mismatch here is one of the most common causes of rejection. See how we verify documents before submission.
Frequently asked questions
How long does personal document attestation take?
Birth and marriage certificates typically take 4 to 8 working days; PCC attestation is often faster, around 3 to 7 working days, depending on issuance and legalization requirements.
Does a Police Clearance Certificate expire after attestation?
The attestation itself doesn’t expire, but most UAE authorities require the underlying PCC to have been issued within the last 6 to 12 months, so an older PCC may need to be reissued and re-attested even if the attestation is technically still valid.
Can family members’ documents be processed together?
Yes, for family/spouse visa applications, birth, marriage, and PCC documents for multiple family members are commonly processed as a coordinated set.
