Educational Documents Attestation in UAE – Complete Guide

If you’re planning to work, study, or sponsor a family in the UAE, your educational certificates must be attested to be accepted by UAE authorities. Whether it's for a job, university admission, or a visa application, attesting your degree or diploma is a mandatory legal process.

This guide explains what educational certificate attestation means, how the process works, what documents are needed, and how Amazon Attestation Services can help you complete it quickly and legally.

What Does Educational Attestation Mean?

Educational document attestation is the official process of verifying your academic certificates to confirm they are genuine and valid for use in the UAE. The attestation makes the certificate legally acceptable by UAE government departments, universities, and employers.

It involves multiple levels of authentication:

1. Attestation in the issuing country (like India, Pakistan, UK, USA)

2. UAE Embassy attestation in the same country

3. Final attestation in the UAE

How to Attest Educational Documents for the UAE

The attestation process typically includes the following steps:

Step 1: Notarization

Get the document notarized by a public notary in the country where the certificate was issued.

Step 2: Ministry of Education / Foreign Affairs (Home Country)

The document must be authenticated by the country’s Ministry of Education or Foreign Affairs.

Step 3: UAE Embassy Attestation

Submit the certificate to the UAE Embassy or Consulate in your home country for embassy stamping.

Step 4: MOFA Attestation in UAE

Finally, once you’re in the UAE, submit the certificate to the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) for final legalization.

Optional Step: Certified Arabic translation if the document is not in English or Arabic.

• The issuing country

• Type of certificate (Degree, Diploma, etc.)

• Urgency (normal or express service)

• AED 150 per certificate (UAE MOFA)
