QuickDocs UAEWhatsAppWho is this service for?
Parents arranging documentation for a child’s new residency application or another official purpose.
How the document process works
- 1
Identify where the birth certificate was issued
UAE-issued digital documents may use a different MOFA route from paper or foreign-issued documents.
- 2
Check the names and certificate details
Ensure details match the child's passport and other relevant records before applying.
- 3
Verify attestation steps
Foreign-issued certificates may require authentication by relevant local authorities and a UAE mission before UAE-side attestation.
- 4
Prepare the connected residency requirements
For a new child visa, check sponsor eligibility, passport, Emirates ID requirements and applicable official documents.
Prepare before enquiring
- Document type, country of issue and intended use.
- What attestations, stamps or verifications have already been completed.
- Whether the document is an original paper certificate or an eligible original digital document.
- Any deadline set by the receiving authority.
Please do not send passport numbers or sensitive certificate scans through the public website checker. A QuickDocs adviser can advise on secure document submission if required.
Frequently asked questions
Is attestation needed for every newborn born in the UAE?
Not necessarily. The requirement depends on the issuing authority and the receiving service. Check the specific newborn residency and passport requirements.
Do I need to submit the birth certificate again for routine child visa renewal?
QuickDocs generally does not require a birth certificate for routine child family visa renewal, subject to the authority requesting additional documents.
What if the certificate is issued abroad?
The country-specific legalisation chain and translation needs must be checked before submission.
