Personal Document Attestation
Personal Document Attestation
Applying for a family visa or residency permit in the Sultanate of Oman requires attested personal documents that prove your relationships, identity, and background. The Royal Oman Police and the Ministry of Labour demand properly stamped marriage certificates, birth certificates for dependants, and police clearance certificates as part of every family sponsorship and residency application. Without these attestations, your family joining you in Oman remains on hold.
Personal documents carry particular sensitivity because they contain private information about family relationships, dates of birth, and criminal background checks. The attestation process must maintain document integrity while passing through multiple government offices. Any discrepancy between names, dates, or other details across different documents in your application will trigger additional verification requests from Omani authorities, potentially adding weeks to your timeline.
GreenAttest treats every personal document with the confidentiality it deserves. We cross-check all details across your document set before submission to catch inconsistencies early. Our team processes marriage certificates, birth certificates, police clearance reports, and other personal documents through notarization, UAE MOFA, and Oman Embassy attestation as a coordinated set, ensuring your family visa or residency application package is complete and consistent.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Obtain police clearance certificates as close to your planned submission date as possible, since they have a limited validity window.
- Ensure all names across your document set are consistent. Even small variations between your passport, marriage certificate, and birth certificates can cause delays.
- If you are sponsoring multiple dependants, submit all their documents together as a package for more efficient processing and consistent timelines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Omani authorities typically require a police clearance from your country of citizenship and your most recent country of residence. If you have lived in multiple countries for extended periods, additional clearances may be requested. GreenAttest can advise on the specific requirements based on your residential history.
Yes, but it must be accompanied by a certified translation into English or Arabic. GreenAttest offers certified translation services that can be bundled with attestation processing. The translated version and the original are both attested as a linked set.
Name discrepancies are one of the most common causes of rejection. If there is a difference due to a name change after marriage, you will need supporting documentation such as a deed poll or name change certificate. GreenAttest identifies these issues during our initial review and advises on the corrective documents needed.
Police clearance certificates are generally accepted by Omani authorities if they were issued within the last three to six months. Because the attestation process itself takes time, GreenAttest recommends obtaining your police clearance no more than two months before you plan to submit your application in Oman.
