Educational Certificate Attestation for UAE — Step-by-Step Guide

If you plan to work, study, or apply for a visa in the UAE, your educational certificates must be attested to prove their authenticity. The UAE government requires all foreign-issued educational documents — degrees, diplomas, and transcripts — to be legalized through a specific process.

At Attestation Office UAE, managed by Amazon Attestation, we provide end-to-end assistance for educational certificate attestation across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Ajman.

    university or education board in your home country.

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs & International Cooperation (MOFAIC) in the UAE validates the embassy stamp.
