Hi,

My husband moved out on Thursday and I plan to follow in a month.

We got all documents notarised before going to the UAE my husband went down to London from Leeds to get it done. First he went to the the foreign office and then went to the UAE embassy (they close at 1pm - if you want documents done in a day they will charge an extra £10 per document!). The documents we got notarised were:

Birth certificates - whole family
Marriage certificate
Highest education certificate i.e Degree

The education certificates need to be certified by a solictior - the Foreign office sent my husband round the corner to get his done.

If you do plan a trip down to London make sure you get there very early as you need to get to the UAE embassy before it closes.

I am sure you can get it all done in Dubai however all the advice on here and from friends out there suggests we got it done before we went.

Sorry if I have confused you but just thought I would go through the process with you.

Kind Regards
