United Arab Emirates Degree Attestation

Attest university degree certificates for submission to UAE

Attest degree certificates and university course transcripts for submission to the authorities of the United Arab Emirates

Degree certificates and academic diplomas required for submission to authorities in the United Arab Emirates or in support of UAE visa applications should be legalized in the country where the university that issued the degree is based. Diplomas are generally legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then attested at the local UAE embassy or consulate.

The United Arab Emirates is not a member of the Apostille Convention. This means that all degree certificates and course transcripts required for submission in support of UAE visa and residency applications have to be attested by the UAE embassy in the country where the issuing university is based.
