What is Degree Attestation in UAE?

Degree attestation is the legal verification of your educational certificate to confirm it is genuine and officially recognized by UAE authorities.

It involves authentication from:

  1. State authority (HRD / Home Department)

  2. Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)

  3. UAE Embassy in the origin country

  4. UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA)

Once MOFA attests the document, it becomes legally valid for employment, visa processing, and government use in the UAE.
