How to Legalize a Salary Certificate in the UAE for Visa Purposes

If you're planning to apply for a visa, sponsor a family member, or migrate abroad from the UAE, you’ll likely need a salary certificate that is legally attested. Whether it's for a Schengen visa, UK, US, or Canadian immigration, or local employment verification, the legalization of your salary certificate is a critical requirement.

In this blog, we’ll explain the complete process of salary certificate legalization in the UAE, and why Best Attestation UAE is your trusted partner for attestation, visa support, and translation services.


What is a Salary Certificate?

A salary certificate is an official document issued by your employer that confirms:

  • Your job designation

  • Monthly/annual salary

  • Date of joining

  • Employment status

This document is often required for:

  • Visa applications (tourist, work, immigration)

  • Bank loans or credit cards

  • Family sponsorship

  • Renting property

  • Government procedures


Why Legalize a Salary Certificate?

Legalization or attestation is needed to make your salary certificate legally valid for use outside the UAE. It verifies the document’s authenticity and enables acceptance by foreign embassies, immigration authorities, or financial institutions.


 When is Salary Certificate Legalization Required?

  • Applying for a Schengen or UK visa from Dubai

  • Immigration to Canada, Australia, USA

  • Sponsoring family for dependent visas

  • Residency applications abroad

  • Submitting proof of income to foreign employers or institutions


 Process of Legalizing a Salary Certificate in the UAE

The process varies slightly depending on whether the certificate is issued in the UAE or abroad, but generally involves:

For UAE-issued Salary Certificates:

  1. Notarization (if required by the employer)

  2. Attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA)

  3. Embassy/Consulate Attestation (of the destination country)
