Degree Attestation UAE
Degree Attestation UAE
The UAE government demands that all expats who apply for an employment visa submit an attested degree certificate. The rule applies to all expats; regardless of your country of origin, you will be required to submit attested educational certificates.
Attested degree certificates are needed to apply for an employment visa across the GCC (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman).
Degree certificate attestation involves sending educational certificates to a chain of government departments that stamp and sign them to guarantee their authenticity. Each certificate will require around four to five stamps in exchange for a small fee.
Dealing with multiple government authorities can be taxing for someone who isn’t familiar with the system, so we recommend hiring professional attestation services in the UAE to complete the task for you.

Degree Certificate Attestation Process
The degree certificate attestation process requires multiple steps, which include:
- Notary Public Stamp (may be required by some issuing countries)
- Verification from the Ministry of Education (or similar entities in the issuing country)
- Authentication from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the issuing country
- Authentication from the UAE embassy in the issuing country
- Attestation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in the UAE
Why Should I Get My Degree Certificate Attested?
There are two main reasons for getting educational certificates attested in the UAE:
- It’s required to obtain an employment visa, which grants you permission to work legally in the country
- You’ll need it to pursue higher education in the UAE or in any other major country
How Long Does It Take?
The duration of the degree certificate attestation process depends entirely on how long the issuing country takes to return the documents to us. Some countries return the documents within ten days; others can take a few weeks.
We partner with trusted agencies in issuing countries that can follow up on progress on our behalf, so you don’t have to worry about it. Our partners will stay on top of things and will return your documents to us as soon as they have them.
Once the issuing country has attested the degree certificates, we’ll send them to the MOFA in the UAE and get them attested locally; this takes around two (2) to three (3) business days.
How Much Does It Cost?
The total cost of degree certificate attestation depends on the fee in the issuing country and the current fee in the UAE. The certificate may need to be translated in some cases, which adds to the final cost.
