Transfer Certificate Attestation in UAE
As per the UAE Ministry of Education regulations, Transfer Certificate (TC) attestation is a compulsory requirement for the admission of any student into schools or colleges across the UAE. The attested certificate serves as proof of a student’s previous education and must be presented at the time of enrollment.
Failure to provide a properly attested Transfer Certificate can lead to rejection or cancellation of admission.
Why Transfer Certificate Attestation is Important ?
The attestation process checks and confirms that the Transfer Certificate is real and given by a proper, recognized school. It shows that the student has really studied and completed classes at that school. This verification is very important because schools in the UAE, especially international schools, will only accept certificates that are attested. Without this attestation, the schools in the UAE will not accept the document, and they cannot complete the admission process. Even if the student has good marks and all other papers, the admission may be delayed or rejected if the Transfer Certificate is not attested. Attestation proves that the document is not fake and has passed all government checks in both the home country and the UAE. It also gives trust to the UAE school that the student is coming from a real educational background. This is why attestation is a must for students who are moving from another country or changing schools within the UAE in some cases. We help parents and students by doing the full attestation process quickly, correctly, and without stress.
