Default Attestation

Do we need to do anything about our 18 and 20 yr old daughters birth certificates if they are only staying for a month or so when we first arrive?
Please clarify whether or not we need to have them attested through the UAE Embassy here in NY prior to arriving or do we do all this when we get to Dubai? What about notarizing the documents? Or is that unnecessary/duplicate work?
Thanks again!

Cara,
We are from NJ also and I ordered our attested marriage certificate also called an Apostille then my husband flew to DC and had it attested at the State Department...Took 20 minutes. Then off to the UAE Embassy he went with a prepaid FedEx Envelope and a money order for $30. We had the marriage certificate back in 4 days. PM me if you want anymore info.
