Planning to bring your parents or other family members to the UAE on a residence visa? You’ll likely need a Consanguinity Certificate—an essential document that proves your biological relationship with the person you wish to sponsor.
In this blog, we’ll break down:
- What a consanguinity certificate is
- Why it’s required in the UAE
- How to get it attested
- And how Quick Attestation can simplify the entire process for you.
What is a Consanguinity Certificate?
A Consanguinity Certificate is an official document that proves your blood relationship—usually between a child and parent(s). It’s most commonly required when sponsoring your parents, siblings, or close relatives for long-term residency in the UAE.
Why is It Important in the UAE?
The UAE government uses this certificate to verify genuine family relationships, especially when:
- Sponsoring your parents for a residence visa
- Bringing dependents or extended family on humanitarian grounds
- Applying for certain legal exemptions or benefits
Without a valid, attested consanguinity certificate, your sponsorship application may be delayed or rejected.
When is the certificate required?
You’ll need this certificate:
- When sponsoring both parents together
- If only one parent is alive (death certificate of the other is also required)
- When no one else is available to take care of them in your home country
In all these cases, the UAE immigration department demands proof of relationship, and this certificate is key.
Consanguinity Certificate Attestation – Why It’s Essential
A certificate issued in your home country is not valid in the UAE unless it’s been properly attested. Attestation confirms the authenticity of the document for use in the UAE.
Attestation usually involves:
- Notary Public Attestation in your home country
- Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) or equivalent authority
- UAE Embassy Attestation in your home country
- MOFA Attestation in the UAE
This multi-step process ensures your certificate is recognized by UAE immigration authorities.
