Are you a fresh university graduate who got your first job? Or do you need to get your documents in order to apply for a Golden Visa? Whether it’s for applications to a programme of higher study, a job, or any other professional platform, you will need to get your documents attested.
Students or graduates of private institutions of higher study in the UAE can attest their documents online in the Ministry of Education’s (MOE) website. Students of public institutions of higher education in the country do not require attestation of documents. The process involves visiting the MOE website or app, selecting the service catalog, filling out an application, uploading required documents, and paying the fees.
The required documents vary depending on the document you wish to attest. For example, attestation of a diploma or bachelor’s degree requires a graduation certificate, transcript, and previous qualification. On the other hand, attestation of graduate diploma or master’s degree requires similar documents but at a higher academic level. The cost for each document to be attested is Dh50 and the estimated time for the attestation service is three working days.
Documents that require attestation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, such as transcripts from outside the UAE, birth certificates, marriage certificates, medical reports, and employment contracts, can be attested through Mofa’s online platform. It is important that the documents are clear, scanned copies in pdf format, issued from a licensed institution providing recognized programs by the MOE, notarized with a certified seal and signature by the issuing institution, and attached as a separate file in the required documents field.
In summary, attesting your documents for higher education purposes in the UAE is a straightforward process that can be done online through the MOE website or app. By following the step-by-step guide and ensuring that you have all the required documents in order, you can successfully attest your academic qualifications within a few working days. The cost for attestation is minimal, and the convenience of online processing eliminates the need for physical visits to government offices. So, if you are a student or graduate looking to further your education or career, make sure to get your documents attested for a smooth application process.
