Understanding UK Document Attestation for the UAE

UK-issued documents are not automatically valid in the UAE. To be legally accepted, they must go through a multi-stage attestation process that verifies authenticity at both UK and UAE government levels.

Attestation confirms that:

• The document is genuine

• The issuing authority is recognized

• The document can be legally used in the UAE

This applies to degrees, diplomas, marriage certificates, birth certificates, and other official UK documents.

UK Degree Attestation for UAE – Step-by-Step Process (2026)

1. Verification from the Issuing University (UK)

The degree certificate is verified directly with the university or through an approved verification body to confirm authenticity.

2. Legalisation by the UK FCDO

The document is legalized by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). This confirms that the signature and seal on the document are genuine.

3. UAE Embassy Attestation in the UK

After FCDO legalization, the document is attested by the UAE Embassy in the UK, making it officially valid for use in the UAE.

4. MOFA Attestation in the UAE

Once the document reaches the UAE, it must be attested by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). This is the final and mandatory step.

Only after MOFA attestation can a UK degree be used for:

• Employment visas

• MOHRE & professional licensing

• Emirates ID & residency

• Higher education equivalency
