Attestation Services

In order to get a police clearance certificate from any Emirate of UAE, the candidate has to get his fingerprints attested in black ink by the local police station of his city, then by the Ministry of Home of his state and then by the Ministry of External Affairs of India. The address of their Delhi office is Consular Section, Patiala House, Tilak Marg, near India Gate. Other offices of the Ministry of External Affairs are in Chennai, Guwahati, Hyderabad and Kolkata. The candidate can also directly approach the Fingerprint Cell in Patiala House to get his fingerprints done. Attested finger prints are then to be submitted in the UAE Embassy from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, Monday to Friday. Rs. 1500/ is the fee per certificate in cash, and the document would be returned back after two working days between 2:00 pm and 3:00 pm. In case of urgency, the document can be returned back on the same day by paying Rs. 750/ extra, per certificate in cash.

We suggest sending the documents to a friend in the UAE, so that your friend can obtain the certificate from the Police Department on your behalf. This will greatly reduce the processing time compared to sending the documents directly to the Police Department. We do this service against your authorization letter.
