When applying for a UAE family visa, for a spouse or child, the attestation of your marriage certificate is a necessary stage. Attestation of marriage certificates serves the purpose of authenticating your marriage for the concerned authorities in the UAE prior to considering the family visa application. This process verifies that the marriage certificate issued in your country of origin is eligible for use in the UAE.

Step-by-Step Process for Marriage Certificate Attestation
