Experience Certificate Attestation in Dubai — For Employment Visa

A valid experience certificate must be on the company's official letterhead, include the company stamp and authorized signatory, state your job title, employment dates, and a brief description of duties. Certificates without proper letterhead or stamps will be rejected during attestation.

Yes, a relieving letter can be attested if it is on official company letterhead with stamps and signatures. However, some embassies distinguish between experience certificates and relieving letters, so check with AttestExpress about your specific embassy's requirements.

Costs vary by country. MOFA charges AED 40 (standard, 3 days) or AED 150 (express, 1 day). Home country Chamber of Commerce and embassy fees are additional. Contact AttestExpress for a transparent, all-inclusive quote for your country.

Typically, only the most recent or most relevant experience certificate needs attestation — the one that supports your current visa application or job designation. Your employer or PRO will specify which certificates need to be attested.

If the issuing company no longer exists, you may need to provide alternative documentation such as a provident fund statement, tax records, or a legal declaration. The Chamber of Commerce in your home country may still be able to verify the certificate. Contact AttestExpress to discuss options for your specific situation.

Yes, AttestExpress can process multiple experience certificates simultaneously. Each certificate goes through the same attestation chain independently, but submitting them together saves time and cost. We recommend batching documents whenever possible.

Yes, they are separate documents serving different purposes. An experience certificate confirms your job role, tenure, and duties, while a salary certificate confirms your compensation. Some visa categories or employers may require both documents to be attested separately.

Documents with errors in names, dates, or other details may be rejected during attestation. You should get a corrected certificate from the issuing employer before starting the attestation process. If the employer is unable to reissue, a legal affidavit or supporting documents may help — contact AttestExpress for guidance.

Freelancers typically do not have employer-issued experience certificates. In such cases, alternative documents like client contracts, professional license renewals, tax returns, or a self-declaration certified by a notary public may be accepted. Requirements vary by employer and visa category.
