Name Consistency: The #1 Rejection Reason

Our solution: We check every name against your passport and Emirates ID. If variations exist, we note them and can provide a consistency letter.

Do my documents need attestation before or after translation?
Foreign documents typically need attestation before translation. The chain includes: home country notarization, Foreign Ministry authentication, UAE Embassy attestation, and MOFA stamp in UAE. We review your documents and advise on the proper sequence. UAE-issued certificates may only need translation—no attestation.

What if my name is spelled differently on different documents?
Name consistency is critical. 40% of rejections stem from name mismatches. We verify names match your Emirates ID and passport exactly.
