Indian Embassy to launch web based attestation system

Abu Dhabi: The Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi will launch a web-based attestation system of employment documents for recruiting Indian workers for employment in the UAE on August 25 on a trial basis, it was announced on Wednesday.

The embassy requested all foreign employers wishing to recruit Indian citizens as employees to register themselves on www.uaeindians.org/recruitment.

Currently, the job contracts of Indian workers carrying the passports with ‘Emigration Clearance Required' stamp [those who have not passed matriculation] have to be attested by the Indian Protector of Emigrants [an Indian authority] and the Indian Embassy.

But the unscrupulous agents make separate [fake] contracts for the above mentioned two authorities to get around the rules and regulations. However there was no system to detect the discrepancy between the contracts submitted with the authorities.

The new online attestation system is expected to stop the practice of making fake contracts.
