Personal Document Attestation

Attestation for birth certificates, marriage certificates, PCC, affidavits and other personal documents.

Personal document attestation covers birth certificates, marriage certificates, police clearance certificates (PCC), affidavits, and similar documents needed for family visas, immigration, and residency applications abroad.

Service Overview

Personal documents require a different attestation path than educational certificates. They are typically attested through the home department at the state level, followed by MEA and embassy attestation.

Common personal documents include birth certificates (for dependent visas), marriage certificates (for spouse visas), police clearance certificates (for employment and immigration), and affidavits for name corrections or single status.

UFS assists with personal document attestation for all major destination countries, with particular experience in Gulf family visa and residency cases.
