- What attestations, stamps or verifications have already been completed.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to attest a marriage certificate for a family visa renewal?
QuickDocs generally does not request the marriage certificate for a routine spouse family visa renewal; individual authorities may request additional documents in exceptional cases.
Do I have to translate my marriage certificate?
A legally certified translation may be required if the certificate is not in Arabic or English, depending on the receiving authority.
Does this page include the spouse visa government fees?
No. For family visa costs, use the separate family visa calculator. The attestation quote is based on the document and route.
