I need help for their birth certificate attestation as requirement for visa in Dubai.?

Question

I work here in Dubai. My children are born in Australia. I need help for their birth certificate attestation.? I have a copy of my children's birth certificate with me now which was issued to us after their births. Can I use these and go to UAE embassy here in Dubai for the certificates to be attested? or do I have to get an original birth certificate again from NSW registry of birth? Or can I send my copies to UAE embassy in Caberra to be attested? Will UAE embassy in Canberra attest this copies and send them to us here in Dubai. I don't know anyone in Canberra to help me out on this processes. Can anyone help please. thanks. Bernie

Answer 1

I've just been through the same ordeal with my two sons. Had to send the original certificates back to Canada to be Authenticated, then brought to a Canadian Embassy here for a stamp - then submitted to the UAE authorities for thier blessing. It took months. Good luck.
