What Is Certificate Attestation?

Certificate attestation is describing the process of authenticating a document by having it verified through endorsements from relevant bodies. These could be educational institutions, ministries, embassies, or consulates. It guarantees that a document is not a fake and can be executed in another country.

There are various kinds of attestations depending on the type of certificate:

  • Educational Certificates: Degrees, diplomas, mark sheets, and transcripts
  • Employment Certificates: Experience letters, job offers, and salary slips
  • Personal Certificates: Birth, marriage, and medical certificates, or even police clearance certificates, if required for various procedures

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member countries impose strict guidelines when it comes to recruitment for foreign professionals and even admission for international students. Reasons for needing attestation include:

  • Professional documents for work application and their associated permits.
  • Educational documents for a student visa and admissions into a university. 
  • Licensing documents for professional fields such as medicine, engineering, teaching, and law.
  • Documents relating to a residence visa for the employee and any dependents. 
  • Documents for employment with government and semi-government positions.

Without proper attestation, your application may face delays, rejections leading to additional expenses and lost opportunities.

The challenges regarding certificate attestation processes often take too long to get resolved due to lack of professional guidance. Such challenges include:

  • Documents that are not completed or do not have the relevant seals from the authorities who issued them.
  • Holds on notarization or delays in processing by the embassy.
  • Inadequate knowledge of the attestation processes for different countries and certificate types.
  • Not knowing a language, especially when it comes to translation to Arabic or English.
  • Document rejections due to mistakes or errors in document formatting done during application submission.
