If you are planning to work, study, start a business, or sponsor family members in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and your documents are issued in China, you must complete the Chinese document attestation process. UAE authorities will not accept Chinese certificates without proper legalization.
This guide explains the attestation process for Chinese documents, which documents require attestation, and how Best Attestation can help you complete the process efficiently in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Northern Emirates.
What is Chinese Document Attestation?
Chinese document attestation is the process of verifying and legalizing documents issued in China so that they are legally valid for use in the UAE. This multi-step process ensures that UAE authorities can authenticate your Chinese certificates.
Which Chinese Documents Require Attestation?
Educational Certificates:
Degree, diploma, school certificates, transcripts
Personal Certificates:
Birth, marriage, divorce, and death certificates
Commercial Documents:
