Marriage Certificate Attestation Sharjah: Process, Documents & Fees

If the marriage certificate is not issued in Arabic or English, a certified translation may be required.

Translation should be completed according to the requirements of the authority receiving the document. An informal translation may not be sufficient where an official or legally certified translation is required.

It is therefore advisable to confirm translation requirements before beginning the attestation process.

Marriage Certificate Attestation Fees in Sharjah

The total cost depends on several factors, so there is no single fee applicable to every marriage certificate.

The overall expense can depend on:

• Country where the certificate was issued
• Type of marriage document
• Authentication charges in the issuing country
• UAE Embassy or Consulate charges
• UAE MoFA fees
• Translation charges
• Courier or service charges

If you are using a professional attestation service, service fees may also apply.

Because government and service charges can change, confirm the current applicable fees before submitting the document.

How Long Does the Process Take?

The total processing time depends on the country of origin and the number of authentication stages required.

A foreign-issued certificate may require authentication in the issuing country, UAE Embassy or Consulate processing, and UAE-side attestation before it is ready for official use.
