Overview

What is Death Certificate Attestation?

Death Certificate attestation is one of the significant procedures of legalization in which an attestation stamp from the concerned officials is obtained. It needs to be done from the certificate issued country / country of origin.

The death certificate contains the full details of the deceased including their name, date, place, cause and fact of death. To use the death certificate in the UAE for any legal purpose — whether to claim insurance, settle legal obligations, or manage property — attestation is compulsory.
