Family Visa Salary Requirement UAE 2026: AED 4,000 Rule, Parents, Women Sponsors and How Income Is Proven

The family visa salary requirement (UAE) is the minimum monthly income a foreign resident must prove before sponsoring a spouse and children: AED 4,000, or AED 3,000 where the employer provides accommodation. The figure is published by ICP (the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security), repeated on u.ae and on GDRFA Dubai’s family entry permit card, and it applies whatever your job title. It is a solvency test, not a quality-of-life estimate, and it sits alongside three other conditions: adequate housing, proof of kinship and a valid sponsor residence. Parents, step-children and sponsors earning under AED 4,000 fall under separate rules with different figures.

This guide is written from the ICP, GDRFA and u.ae pages as they stood on 23 September 2026. It gives each threshold with its source, explains how a salary is read, and works through every sponsor type we are asked about, then renewal, six worked cases and the myths.

Family visa salary requirement UAE at a glance: every threshold and its source

Start with the row that matches you. Where official pages disagree, both figures are shown, and the detail follows further down.

Family visa salary requirement UAE: how MIRDXB PRO checks eligibility before you pay

Most people who ask us about the family visa salary requirement (UAE) already earn more than AED 4,000. What they do not know is whether their documents show it in the way GDRFA or ICP will read it. A labour contract with a low basic and large allowances, a certificate that forgets to mention company housing, a free zone letter in English only, a partner’s licence that names the wrong share: each of these can return a file that should have passed. We are a PRO and visa services firm in Al Barsha 1, and we check the income side first, because it decides everything that follows. If you want the whole application handled, that is our family residence visa service; for an existing family, it is our family visa renewal service.

What we do

• Read your income documents the way the authority will. We check the labour contract, salary certificate, employment certificate, partnership papers or Green visa file against the card that applies to your emirate and your sponsor type.
• Identify the family visa salary test that applies. AED 4,000, AED 3,000 plus housing, the parents’ test, the humanitarian route, or a partner or investor route. We tell you in writing, with the source.
• Fix the wording before submission. If the salary certificate for family visa use needs a housing line, an Arabic version or a breakdown, we tell your HR team exactly what to ask for. We never ask anyone to state an income that is not paid.
• Submit and track the entry permit, status change, medical, Emirates ID and residence at GDRFA or ICP.

How it works

1. WhatsApp us your salary certificate or labour contract, your Emirates ID, your tenancy, and who you want to sponsor (with ages).
2. We check eligibility against the current ICP or GDRFA card and reply in writing: which test applies, whether you meet it, and what is missing.
3. You approve the quote, with government fees shown line by line and our fee stated.
4. We prepare and submit, and send you each application number and receipt as it moves.

What it costs

The eligibility check is the first step of every family file we take on. Government fees are passed on at cost, from the official schedule, and you see the receipts. The eligibility check covers the minimum salary to sponsor family members and every condition that travels with it. Our service fee depends on the number of family members and whether attestation, a sponsor file or a humanitarian application is involved; it is quoted in writing before we start. Our general pricing approach is on the fees page.

Why residents use us

• We publish our sources. Every threshold in this guide links to the ICP, GDRFA or u.ae page it came from, and where they disagree we say so.
• We tell you when you do not need us. A salaried sponsor on AED 6,000 with a clean certificate and an Ejari can often apply alone, and we will say so.
• We tell you when you do not meet the minimum salary to sponsor family, and what the lawful alternatives are, before you spend money on fees.
• You can visit us in Al Barsha 1 by appointment; whatsApp us any time, 24 hours; office open Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 18:00 (Dubai time).

The family visa salary rule, word for word, from each authority

Much of the confusion about the family visa salary comes from people paraphrasing paraphrases. Here is what each official page actually says, quoted as it stood on 23 September 2026.

So the figures are federal and Dubai’s own family card repeats them; there is no separate Dubai rule for a spouse and children. Our previous version said GDRFA publishes no salary figure; that was wrong and is corrected. The “foreigner family members” card has conditions text that does not match its title, so we do not rely on it for the family visa salary test.

Why the minimum salary to sponsor family has two numbers

ICP is testing whether a sponsor can support and house a family. If the employer already provides accommodation, the largest household cost is met in kind and AED 3,000 is enough; if the sponsor pays rent, the family visa salary rises to AED 4,000.

That logic explains the practical rule: the housing position is not a footnote on the salary certificate; it selects which of the two tests you are measured against. A sponsor on AED 3,500 with company housing passes. The same sponsor on AED 3,500 with a certificate that only states “AED 3,500 per month” is read against AED 4,000, and fails.

Family visa salary and employer-provided accommodation

ICP’s words are “employer-provided housing”. u.ae says “plus accommodation”. Neither page defines the term further, so here is what the wording supports and where it stops.

• Company-leased flat or villa where the family can live. This is the clearest case. The employer holds the lease, the sponsor lives there, and the salary certificate says housing is provided. Our guide to Ejari for a family visa explains how the tenancy is evidenced when the Ejari is in the company’s name.
• Staff accommodation or labour camp. Accommodation is provided, which selects the AED 3,000 test, but the separate condition of “adequate housing … in proportion to the property’s capacity” still applies. A shared room in a staff block is not family housing. In practice, a sponsor in this position usually still needs a family tenancy of his own.
• Cash housing allowance paid in salary. This is the most common family visa salary question after basic pay. The condition says housing “provided” by the employer. An allowance is money, not accommodation. Our reading, and the one we advise on, is that an allowance is counted as income towards AED 4,000 and does not trigger the AED 3,000 test. No official page addresses the point directly; if your file sits between AED 3,000 and AED 4,000, confirm before you apply.
• Accommodation owned by the sponsor. This is not “employer-provided”, so the AED 4,000 test applies, but a Dubai Land Department title deed satisfies the housing condition itself.
• Living with relatives or a friend. Neither selects the AED 3,000 test, and in Dubai the sponsor file asks for an Ejari or DLD ownership document in the sponsor’s name.

Basic or total salary: how GDRFA and ICP read the family visa salary

This is the family visa salary question we are asked most, and the one most often answered with confidence and no source. Here is the published position.

• ICP’s wording is “minimum monthly income”.
• u.ae’s wording is “minimum salary”.
• GDRFA’s family card says “the resident’s salary”.
• None of them says “basic salary”. None publishes a list of which allowances count.

What the authorities do publish is which document they read. That is the practical answer, because whatever figure that document shows is the figure assessed.

So the honest answer is this. The published family visa salary test is income or salary, not basic. The figure read is the one on the contract or certificate the card asks for. A MOHRE contract shows both basic and total, and the total is the salary. We are not aware of any current GDRFA or ICP page that restricts the family visa salary test to basic pay, and we will not tell you there is one.

WPS, bank statements and family sponsorship income

The Wage Protection System records the salary a private-sector employer actually transfers. It is not listed on the family residence cards as a document you must provide, and the standard Dubai and ICP lists do not ask for bank statements. The Dubai humanitarian card does, and typing centres sometimes ask for them where a certificate looks inconsistent or the sponsor is self-employed. If your contract says AED 5,000 and your WPS credits show AED 3,400, that difference is what will be noticed. Keep three recent months ready; they cost nothing to download.

Commission, overtime and bonuses

Variable pay is not addressed on any card. A fixed monthly salary on the certificate is the safest evidence. If much of your income is commission, ask for the fixed and average variable elements to be stated separately, with bank statements that match.

Salary certificate for family visa: what it must say

A salary certificate for family visa purposes is not the same letter HR sends to banks and landlords. Here is what it needs to contain for the authority to apply the test in one reading.

For private-sector sponsors in Dubai, the attested labour contract is the primary document, and the salary certificate for family visa use supports it. The two must agree. A certificate saying AED 6,000 next to a MOHRE contract saying AED 3,500 invites a question you do not want.

Family sponsorship income: the evidence by sponsor type

The same family visa salary test is proven with different papers depending on who the sponsor is. This table is the one we work from. Items marked “practical” are what typing centres and case officers commonly ask for; they are not on the published cards.

Women sponsoring a husband and children: the family visa salary

The current family visa salary rule is written for both sexes. ICP’s card says “the foreign sponsor (resident in the UAE) may bring in his/her spouse, unmarried daughters, sons under 25 years old, and children with special needs”. GDRFA’s family residence card says “both male and female foreign residents are allowed to bring their family members into the country, including the husband and any children under 25 or unmarried daughters”. The income test is the same: AED 4,000, or AED 3,000 plus employer-provided housing.

Two additional points apply in practice, and both come from official pages.

• The father’s consent for the children. GDRFA’s family entry permit card lists a “no objection from the father if the guarantor is the wife”. Where the mother sponsors the children, expect to provide the father’s no-objection letter, or a court document where that is not possible.
• “Special cases approved by the ICP”. u.ae’s sponsorship page says “a mother can sponsor her children in special cases approved by the ICP”. It does not list the cases. Read with the ICP card, which uses “his/her”, the most likely meaning is that a mother sponsoring children without the father on the file is reviewed rather than automatic.

The archived figures are not on any current card we checked; we show them because they are still repeated. The answer is a complete file: the husband’s passport, the attested marriage certificate, her own contract or salary certificate for family visa use, a tenancy in her name, and the father’s no-objection for the children where needed. If the husband works, he usually holds his own employment residence instead.

Parents: a different family sponsorship income test

Parents are not covered by the standard minimum salary to sponsor family members. They are not in the standard family category for an employee. ICP’s family card lists only spouse and children, and u.ae says “a resident can sponsor his parents, and the residence visa will be granted on a yearly basis”. In Dubai, the route runs through GDRFA’s Issuance of a residence permit for humanitarian cases. This is where official figures conflict most, so here they all are.

Our reading: the current GDRFA service card is the controlling document for a Dubai file, and its family sponsorship income figure for parents is AED 10,000. The AED 20,000 and AED 19,000-plus-two-bedroom figures belong to earlier rules. Because the route is decided by committee, meeting AED 10,000 is a minimum, not an entitlement, and the bank statements, housing and the parents’ dependency are read together.

For the other emirates, we did not find a published parents’ income figure on ICP’s card. Ask ICP (600522222) or let us check the live screen before you apply. Green visa holders are in a different position: u.ae and ICP say they may sponsor first-degree relatives, which includes parents.

Our parents visa sponsorship service handles the humanitarian application, the consulate affidavit and the guarantee.

Below the minimum salary to sponsor family: the Dubai humanitarian route

Falling short of the family visa salary threshold is not always the end of the question in Dubai. GDRFA’s humanitarian-cases card has two categories written for exactly this:

• Sponsoring a wife and children where the salary is below AED 4,000: passport copies, a duly attested marriage certificate, birth certificates, three months’ bank statements and a suitable tenancy contract.
• Sponsoring children where the combined household income is below AED 4,000: documents from both spouses, their employment records, the attested and Arabic-translated marriage certificate, the children’s birth certificates, joint bank statements and a tenancy.

The permit is for one year, renewable, and each request carries a financial guarantee of AED 5,000 (total not above AED 15,000), a residence fee of AED 200, an in-country fee of AED 500 where applicable, and a 14-day processing time. The card says requests are reviewed case by case by a committee.

Outside Dubai, ICP’s card does not publish an equivalent category. The usual lawful alternatives are: the other spouse sponsoring if they qualify, the employer providing accommodation so the AED 3,000 test applies, or a visit visa while circumstances change.

Step-children, sons over 25, second wives: beyond the minimum salary to sponsor family

These are the cases that the standard family visa salary rule does not cover on its face. The published position for each:

Step-children

Step-children are not in ICP’s standard family list. In Dubai, GDRFA’s humanitarian-cases card has a category for sponsoring step-children: the sponsor’s passport, the parent’s residence copy, employment documents, duly attested birth certificates, bank statements for both spouses, a tenancy contract and, where required, a no-objection from the biological parent. No income figure is published for this category. An archived u.ae page described the same route as subject to “a deposit for each child and a written no-objection certificate from the biological parent”, with a one-year visa renewable yearly.

Sons aged 25 and over

The standard limit is “sons under 25 years old” (ICP, u.ae). In Dubai, the humanitarian-cases card has a category for children over 25, with the sponsoring parent’s passport, employment certificate and “certified proof of continuation of studies” or an attested graduation certificate. It is a one-year permit and a committee decision. Our guide to sponsoring a son over 18 covers the age rules in detail.

Daughters and children with special needs

Daughters can be sponsored while unmarried, with no age cut-off in the published wording. Children with special needs can be sponsored regardless of age, with documents proving the condition. The family visa salary test is the standard one.

A second wife

No current ICP or GDRFA card we checked addresses sponsoring more than one wife. The cards say “spouse”. An archived u.ae page stated that “a Muslim resident may be allowed to sponsor his two wives, if he meets certain terms and conditions”, without listing them. In practice each marriage needs its own attested certificate, and the authority can look at whether income and housing support the whole household, not just one wife. Treat it as an application that needs confirming before you apply, not as automatic.

Brothers and sisters

Siblings are not in the standard family list, and no income level changes that for an ordinary employee. GDRFA’s humanitarian-cases card does, however, list a sibling category, with the note that parental sponsorship comes first except in cases of death or divorce. That is a narrow, committee-reviewed route, not a general right. Our earlier version said siblings could not be sponsored on any route; that was too absolute, and we have corrected it.

The same Dubai card also lists grandchildren, a son’s wife, guardianship and fostering cases, each decided individually.

Investors and partners: proving family sponsorship income without a salary

An owner has no outside employer to issue a certificate, so the family sponsorship income test is met in a different way. What is published:

• GDRFA Dubai (family entry permit card): “The partner’s share must be at least 48 thousand Dirhams, as stated in the partnership agreement”, with the partnership contract among the requirements.
• ICP (issuing residency permit): a “financial guarantee for the investor’s family residency, applied per family member, with a maximum amount of AED 15,000”, listed at AED 3,000.
• ICP Green Residence for investors: the investor’s contribution must be “not less than AED 1,000,000 in cash or its equivalent”, with the licences and approvals in place.

What is not published is a monthly family visa salary figure for a partner. In practice, the file is read as a whole: a valid trade licence, a current establishment card, the MOA or partners’ list naming the sponsor with the share value, the partner’s own valid residence and, often, company or personal bank statements. Owner files fail more often on company status than on income. An expired trade licence or establishment card will stop the family file however much the business earns.

Freelancers and the Green visa: family sponsorship income

A freelancer has no employer and usually no fixed salary, which is why the Green visa matters here. ICP’s Green Residence guide sets these conditions for freelancers and the self-employed:

• “Hold a freelance work permit or a self-employment permit issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation.”
• “Hold a qualification of no less than a bachelor’s degree, specialised diploma, or equivalent.”
• “Provide proof of stable annual income or financial solvency throughout the period of residence in the UAE.”
• “The annual income from freelance work during the previous two years must not be less than AED 360,000 or its equivalent in foreign currencies.”

For skilled employees the Green test is a valid UAE employment contract, MOHRE skill level 1 to 3, a bachelor’s degree and “a minimum monthly salary requirement of AED 15,000”. On family, ICP says the holder has “the ability to sponsor family members, including the spouse and children, in accordance with the approved requirements”, and u.ae and ICP’s issuing card add that Green holders “are also entitled to sponsor first-degree relatives”. ICP gives Green holders the 180-day grace tier after expiry or cancellation.

ICP does not publish a separate family visa salary figure for Green holders; their own qualifying family sponsorship income is far above AED 4,000, so housing and kinship are usually the real checks. A freelancer on a free zone permit without a Green visa meets the standard test, typically with the permit, several months of bank statements and a tenancy (practical; confirm the list with GDRFA). Our Green visa service and the Golden vs Green comparison set out the route.

Golden visa holders and family sponsorship income

Golden visa holders qualify on their own category’s test, not on the family visa salary figure. u.ae says Golden holders have “the ability to sponsor family members, including spouses and children”. ICP’s Golden Residence guide lists category tests such as a monthly salary of at least AED 30,000 for specialised professionals at MOHRE skill level 1 or 2, including chief executives, or property “not less than 2 million dirhams” for real estate investors; its document list also mentions “proof of kinship when sponsoring parents” in some categories. ICP gives Golden holders the 180-day grace tier. Family-specific rules, including children’s ages, are covered in our golden visa family sponsorship guide and the golden visa eligibility 2026 guide.

Salary certificate for family visa: government, semi-government and free zone employees

The family visa salary threshold, and the minimum salary to sponsor family members generally, is the same for public-sector employees. What differs is the paper. In Dubai, GDRFA asks government, semi-government and free zone sponsors for an Arabic salary certificate instead of a MOHRE labour contract, because their contracts are not registered with MOHRE. GDRFA’s sponsor file card also lists a salary certificate “if they work in a government or semi-government entity”.

• Ask for Arabic. A salary certificate for family visa use in English only is a common reason for a Dubai file to come back.
• Ask for the housing line, the total and the breakdown. Public-sector pay often has a modest basic and many allowances.
• Free zone employees should get the certificate from the employer, not a generic letter from the free zone authority. The free zone vs mainland guide explains why the paperwork differs.

The conditions that travel with the family visa salary

Meeting the income figure is necessary and not sufficient. ICP’s issuing card sets these conditions together, and a file that fails any one of them fails whatever the salary.

In Dubai, a first-time sponsor also opens a sponsor file with GDRFA (AED 200 plus 5% VAT, AED 10 Knowledge and AED 10 Innovation Dirhams), with the MOFA-certified marriage contract, attested birth certificates and an Ejari or DLD ownership document. The full document set is in our family visa documents checklist, and a quick self-test is on our family sponsorship eligibility tool.

How salary changes affect a family visa renewal

ICP’s renewal card is explicit: “All residence issuance requirements must be maintained when applying for renewal.” GDRFA’s family renewal card says Dubai renews “under the original issuance terms”. So the family visa salary is tested again every time the family’s permits are renewed, against whatever your documents say on that day.

The practical point is timing: a pay cut in month 3 of a two-year permit is not tested until month 24. Review the family file when income drops. In Dubai the standard grace period is 30 days (some categories get 60, 90 or 180 days; after a cancellation, the exact period is on the cancellation letter); ICP publishes tiers of 180, 90, 60 and 30 days by category; u.ae’s family page says dependants get six months. Plan to the shortest figure. Overstay after the grace period is AED 50 per day (ICP, u.ae).

Step by step: proving the family visa salary in Dubai (GDRFA)

1. Confirm your own residence is Dubai-issued (file number starting with 2) and valid for at least as long as the family permits you want.
2. Choose the family visa salary test. Does your employer provide accommodation? If yes, AED 3,000; if no, AED 4,000. Parents: AED 10,000 on the humanitarian route.
3. Get the income document right. Private sector: attested MOHRE labour contract, with a certificate if the contract is out of date. Government, semi-government or free zone: Arabic salary certificate with total, breakdown and housing line.
4. Housing. Ejari tenancy (or DLD title deed) in your name with enough validity, the latest DEWA bill, and a property that suits the family’s size. For renewals, GDRFA’s FAQ asks for 60 days’ tenancy validity.
5. Open or update the sponsor file if this is your first sponsorship or your details changed.
6. Kinship. Attested marriage certificate (certified by UAE MOFA) and attested birth certificates. Start this first if it is not done; it is the slowest step.
7. Apply for the entry permit (family outside the UAE) or the residence with status change (family inside), through the GDRFA app or website with UAE Pass, or at an Amer centre.
8. Medical for anyone 18 or over, insurance for each dependant, biometrics for anyone 15 or over when called, then the residence and Emirates ID.

GDRFA gives 48 hours for a complete family entry permit or residence. Our guide to Amer vs Tasheel explains which counter does what.

Step by step: proving the family visa salary in the other emirates (ICP)

1. Confirm the issuing emirate of your own residence (file number starting 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7).
2. Ask your employer for an employment certificate (the ICP version of a salary certificate for family visa use) showing the family’s monthly income and whether housing is provided, which is ICP’s wording.
3. Prepare the lease and the utility bill, attested kinship documents, passports with six months’ validity, photos and health insurance.
4. Apply through the ICP smart services website or app with UAE Pass. The card says to attach documents only where the system cannot retrieve the data.
5. Pay the fees, complete the medical for adults, and receive the residence and Emirates ID.

ICP gives 2 days for a complete file. The ICP smart services guide walks through the app, and ICP vs GDRFA explains which authority holds your file.

Fees after the family visa salary check, and their sources

The family visa salary check itself costs nothing. These are the published government fees for the applications that follow it. Typing and service centre charges are extra, and the final figure is the one on your payment screen.

A household estimate including medicals and insurance is quicker with our visa cost estimator. The wider fee schedule is in UAE government fees 2026.

If you are below the minimum salary to sponsor family: lawful options

There is no trick, but there are legitimate options people often miss.

1. Check the certificate. If your employer houses you and the certificate is silent, you may already meet the AED 3,000 test.
2. Check the total, not the basic. The published wording is salary or income.
3. Ask about accommodation instead of an allowance, which moves you to the AED 3,000 test.
4. Consider the other spouse as sponsor, if they hold a residence and meet the test.
5. In Dubai, the humanitarian route, case by case, with bank statements and a guarantee.
6. A visit visa meanwhile. GDRFA’s July 2026 clarification sets AED 4,000 for a first-degree relative’s visit.

Do not ask for a certificate showing money you do not receive, or borrow a tenancy you do not live in.

Family visa salary requirement: six cases, worked through

These cases are built from the situations we see most often. Names and identifying details are left out, and the figures are the published ones.

1. AED 3,500 with company housing, certificate silent (Sharjah, ICP)

Warehouse supervisor, AED 3,500 a month, lives in a company flat. First application for his wife returned for insufficient income.

Position: with employer housing, the family visa salary test is AED 3,000 and he meets it, but a certificate stating only “AED 3,500 per month” was read against AED 4,000. Fix: a new employment certificate stating that accommodation is provided, plus the company lease and a letter confirming his family may live there. The lesson: the housing line selects the test.

2. Basic AED 2,400, total AED 5,100 (Dubai, private sector)

Sales executive whose MOHRE contract shows basic AED 2,400, housing AED 1,800 and transport AED 900. Told by a friend she cannot sponsor her husband because basic is below AED 4,000.

Position: the published tests say “salary” and “monthly income”, not basic. GDRFA reads the attested labour contract, which shows a total of AED 5,100. No accommodation is provided, so the test is AED 4,000, and she meets it. As a woman sponsoring her husband, the conditions are the same. The lesson: check the published wording, not the rumour.

3. Parents on AED 12,000 (Dubai)

Engineer earning AED 12,000, wants both parents to live with him after his father retires.

Position: the current GDRFA humanitarian-cases card sets a family sponsorship income of AED 10,000 for parents, with three months’ bank statements, an attested tenancy, an AED 5,000 guarantee per request and a consulate affidavit. Both parents are sponsored together. The older AED 20,000 figure he had read is not on the current card. The lesson: meeting AED 10,000 opens the application; the committee still reads the whole file.

4. Partner in a Dubai mainland company

Holds a partner residence; the MOA shows a share valued at AED 40,000.

Position: GDRFA’s family card says the partner’s share “must be at least 48 thousand Dirhams, as stated in the partnership agreement”. At AED 40,000, the partner route does not meet it, so his family sponsorship income is not proven that way. Options: amend the share through the licensing authority, or take an employment residence on the company with a MOHRE contract at a real salary of AED 4,000 or more, paid through WPS. The lesson: for partners, the share value in the MOA is the income test.

5. Salary cut before renewal

Private-sector employee whose salary fell from AED 5,000 to AED 3,600 last year; family permits expire in two months; no company housing.

Position: ICP and GDRFA re-apply the issuance conditions at renewal. At AED 3,600 without housing, he is below the minimum salary to sponsor family. Options considered: his wife, who works on AED 4,500, sponsoring the children and herself moving to her own employment residence; or the humanitarian route in Dubai. The lesson: review the file when pay changes, not when the permit expires.

6. Freelancer on a Green visa

Designer holding a Green visa as a freelancer, wants to sponsor her husband, a child and her mother.

Position: her Green visa was issued on income of AED 360,000 a year over two years with a MOHRE freelance permit. ICP allows Green holders to sponsor spouse and children and u.ae says they may sponsor first-degree relatives, which includes her mother. No separate family visa salary figure is published. The lesson: Green holders’ family rights are wider, but housing and kinship still apply.

What circulates online about the family visa salary that is not true

How to verify every figure in this guide

What we will and will not do

We will read your income documents against the current ICP or GDRFA card before you pay any government fee, tell you in writing which test applies and whether you meet it, tell your HR team exactly what the certificate must say, handle the sponsor file, entry permit, medical, Emirates ID and residence, and tell you plainly when your file is simple enough to do yourself.

We will not promise an approval that only GDRFA or ICP can give, suggest ways around the income, housing or kinship rules, ask anyone to issue a certificate showing income that is not paid, submit a document we know to be inaccurate, or quote a fee that changes after you have paid.
