As the United Arab Emirates (UAE) continues to be a magnet for professionals, students, and investors from around the world, verifying the authenticity of academic credentials has become essential.

Who Needs Degree Attestation?

Degree attestation is a legal requirement for a wide range of individuals and purposes, including:

  • Job Seekers: Employers in the UAE, especially in regulated sectors like education, healthcare, engineering, and finance, require attested degree certificates.

  • Students: Universities and colleges in the UAE require attested academic documents from international students for admissions and course validation.

  • Residency Visa Applicants: Those applying for dependent or family visas may need to present attested degrees to support their status.

  • Business Professionals: Entrepreneurs registering a business or applying for a professional license in free zones may need to verify their academic qualifications.


Types of Degrees That Need Attestation

Benchmark Attestation Services handles attestation for all levels of academic qualifications, including:

  • Bachelor’s Degrees

  • Master’s Degrees

  • Doctorate (Ph.D.) Certificates

  • Postgraduate Diplomas

  • Professional Qualifications (such as CA, ACCA, CPA)

  • Vocational and Technical Diplomas

Regardless of the degree's origin, Benchmark can facilitate its attestation for use in the UAE.


Step-by-Step Degree Attestation Process for UAE

Understanding the attestation journey is essential. The process typically includes:

Step 1: Notarization in the Home Country

The academic document must first be notarized by a notary public or relevant authority in the country where the degree was issued.

Step 2: Authentication by Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)

The document must be further authenticated by the foreign ministry or equivalent government body in the issuing country.

Step 3: UAE Embassy Attestation

After government authentication, the document is submitted to the UAE Embassy in the home country for attestation.

Step 4: MOFA Attestation in UAE

Finally, once in the UAE, the document must be attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) to be legally accepted by UAE authorities.

Each of these steps must be completed in sequence, and missing even one can render the document invalid for UAE use.


Country-Specific Degree Attestation Process

Benchmark Attestation Services provides country-specific expertise. Some examples include:

  • India: Degree attestation involves notarization, HRD verification, MEA, UAE Embassy, and MOFA.

  • Pakistan: Requires HEC verification before MOFA Pakistan and UAE Embassy attestation.

  • Philippines: CHED authentication, DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs) attestation, and UAE Embassy verification.

  • United Kingdom: Solicitor certification, FCDO attestation, UAE Embassy in London, and final MOFA attestation.

  • United States: Notary public verification, State Authentication, U.S. Department of State, and UAE Embassy attestation.

Benchmark ensures full compliance with each country’s regulations.


Required Documents for Degree Attestation

While requirements may vary by country and institution, the common documents include:

  • Original Degree Certificate

  • Copy of Passport

  • Academic Transcripts or Mark Sheets (optional but helpful)

  • Emirates ID (if applying from UAE)

  • Authorization Letter (if using an agent or third party)

Benchmark can assist in verifying, collecting, and preparing all required documentation, minimizing delays and rejections.


Common Challenges During Attestation

Navigating degree attestation alone can be complex and frustrating. Common challenges include:

  • Incomplete or Inaccurate Documentation: One missing stamp can delay the process for weeks.
