Whether you’re applying for a family visa, school admission, or residency in the UAE, your Kuwaiti-issued birth certificate must be legally recognized in the Emirates. That means it needs to go through a formal process of birth certificate attestation—a multi-step verification to ensure authenticity.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of attesting a birth certificate issued in Kuwait for legal use in the UAE, and how our expert team at Best Attestation Dubai can handle it all for you.
🧾 Why Birth Certificate Attestation is Required in the UAE
The UAE government requires all foreign-issued documents to be attested to verify their authenticity. A birth certificate may be needed in the UAE for:
- Family visa (spouse/child sponsorship)
- School or university admission
- Passport issuance or renewal
- Residency applications
- Legal proceedings like inheritance or name changes
Without proper attestation, your birth certificate will not be recognized by UAE authorities, delaying or even rejecting your application.
✅ Who Needs It?
If your birth certificate is issued in Kuwait and you plan to use it for official purposes in the UAE, attestation is mandatory. This includes:
- Kuwait-born expatriates moving to UAE
- Kuwait residents applying for family relocation
- Individuals using birth certificates for visa, school, or medical reasons
🔁 Step-by-Step Process: Birth Certificate Attestation from Kuwait to UAE
Here’s a simplified outline of the attestation journey for a Kuwaiti birth certificate:
1. Notarization in Kuwait
The document must first be notarized by a local notary public in Kuwait.
2. Attestation from Kuwait Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA)
After notarization, the birth certificate needs to be attested by the MOFA Kuwait, confirming it’s an official government-issued document.
3. Attestation from UAE Embassy in Kuwait
Next, the document must be submitted to the UAE Embassy in Kuwait, where it is verified for acceptance by UAE authorities.
4. MOFA Attestation in the UAE
Finally, once the document arrives in the UAE, it must be attested by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA)—the final and essential stamp of approval.
📌 Important Notes
- The birth certificate must be in Arabic or English. If not, legal translation will be required before attestation.
- All signatures and seals must be original and clearly visible.
- The document should be valid and unaltered—any damage or tampering can cause rejection.
