School Transfer Certificate Attestation is a mandatory requirement for securing your child’s admission into schools or colleges in the UAE. It is a crucial document demanded by the Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC) to officially register your child in a UAE school.
The transfer certificate must be typed in English or Arabic, printed on the school’s letterhead, signed by the Principal, and bear the official school stamp and signature. Depending on your child’s previous school’s location, you may also need to have the transfer certificate attested.
