It usually starts with a quiet moment — a phone call from home, a familiar voice sounding a little tired, or maybe just that growing ache of distance. As an expat in the UAE, you’ve probably felt it. That gentle nudge inside telling you it’s time to bring your parents closer. Time to stop the endless airport goodbyes and finally make home feel whole.

The Real Journey: Bringing Your Parents Over, One Clear Step at a Time

Let’s skip the legal lingo and talk like normal people, shall we?

Step 1: Gather the Essentials

First, grab the basics:

  • Your birth certificate (yes, the original one)
  • Each parent’s passport and a few fresh photos
  • Your own Emirates ID and visa page
  • Proof you can support them — salary slip, tenancy contract, the whole works

If you’re bringing both parents, you’ll need their marriage certificate. Just one parent? You’ll sign an affidavit explaining why.

Step 2: Stamp, Seal, Verify—Everywhere

Here’s the catch: nearly every document on that list needs an official nod from multiple offices, sometimes in more than one country. That means stamps, signatures, and—if you’re unlucky—a few surprise trips to the embassy.

Let Quick Attestation Services, Dubai, deal with that marathon. They already know which counter, which seal, which deadline. You don’t have to learn it the hard way.

The result?

Papers that glide through UAE immigration instead of getting bounced back for “missing attestation.” And you? You’re free to focus on bigger things—like choosing curtains for the room you’ve been saving for your parents all these years.

Document Attestation

This is where most people get stuck.

Your birth certificate must first be attested in your home country — by a notary, then the Ministry of External Affairs (or equivalent), and then by the UAE Embassy. Once that’s done, you’ll need it stamped by the UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) once you’re here.

The exact process applies to your parents’ marriage certificate, affidavits, and sometimes even educational certificates, depending on your visa category.

Doing this on your own could take weeks, and one wrong submission could set you back entirely.

That’s why Quick Attestation takes over here — they handle:

  • Country-specific Attestation
  • Embassy coordination
  • MOFA attestation
  • Certified true copy handling
  • Affidavit creation and notarization
  • Translation (where required)

No confusion. No repeated visits. No delays.

Filing the Sponsorship Application

Once your documents are perfectly attested and ready, you’ll head to the GDRFA (General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs) or an authorized typing center to begin the application.

Thanks to Quick’s document accuracy, your file won’t be rejected for missing stamps or incorrect formats. That saves you time, energy, and the need for follow-ups.

Medical Test, Emirates ID, and Final Visa Approval

Your parents will need to undergo a medical fitness test and apply for an Emirates ID. With the attested documents in place, these processes are straightforward.

Once cleared, their residency visa is stamped — and you’re officially done.

How Quick Attestation Makes a Difference?

There’s a reason families across the UAE trust Quick Attestation Services. They’ve been in the industry for over 14 years, have handled cases from more than 120 countries, and are rated 4.9 on Google for a reason.

They don’t just collect papers — they handle the whole experience:

  • Quick turnaround times
  • Trusted embassy and MOFA connections
  • Secure and confidential handling
  • Real-time updates throughout the process
  • Clarity on rules based on your nationality and emirate

And more importantly, they make sure you don’t get stuck halfway.

Common Mistakes Families Make (And How Quick Prevents Them)

It’s easy to miss small but crucial things when you’re doing it alone. Here’s what happens often:

  • People submit certificates that haven’t been attested by the right authorities.
  • They bring in translated documents that haven’t been legally notarized.
  • They forget to get an affidavit when sponsoring only one parent.
  • They run into delays with embassies or MOFA due to a lack of clarity on procedures.

Quick Attestation has seen all this. They fix issues before they become problems, saving you from rejection letters or reapplication loops.

This Isn’t Just About Paperwork — It’s About Peace

Ask anyone who has brought their parents to live with them in the UAE — it changes everything.

From weekly visits to doctor appointments, from simple conversations to sharing meals — having your parents close brings comfort like nothing else.

But that dream shouldn’t be delayed because of paperwork issues.

With Quick Attestation handling the backend, you can focus on the emotional part — preparing a room, planning your parents’ first walk along the Corniche, or introducing them to your friends and family here.
