Degree Certificate Attestation
Degree Attestation in Dubai, UAE
GloboPrime Attestation Services provides degree attestation in Dubai and across the UAE for Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD qualifications issued by universities outside the UAE.
An attested degree may be requested when a university qualification is used for skilled employment, a work permit, professional licensing, government procedures, higher education or qualification recognition in the UAE.
For UAE private-sector work permits, MOHRE currently requires a Bachelor’s degree or higher for occupations classified under skill levels 1 and 2. Skill levels 3 and 4 require a diploma or higher, while skill level 5 requires a high-school certificate.
What Is Degree Attestation?
Degree attestation is the authentication of a university degree certificate for official use in another country. In the UAE, degree attestation and Qualification Recognition are separate procedures.
An attested degree confirms the authenticity of the document and the relevant official signatures and seals. It does not automatically mean the qualification has been recognised in the UAE.
For UAE Qualification Recognition, a foreign degree must first be verified through one of the authorised verification partners of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MoHESR). After verification, the applicant can proceed with the Qualification Recognition application.
Degree attestation authenticates the certificate, while Qualification Recognition assesses the foreign higher-education qualification for recognition in the UAE.
Why Is Degree Attestation Required in the UAE?
Degree attestation in the UAE is required when a foreign university qualification is submitted for employment, professional licensing, higher education or another official process. UAE MOFA degree attestation confirms the authenticity of the official signatures and seals on the degree certificate.
For employment, an attested degree is not required for every job. The requirement depends on the occupation and MOHRE skill classification. Bachelor’s degree attestation is commonly required for skilled and professional positions where a university qualification forms part of the work permit requirements.
An attested degree is also used for professional licensing, university admission, certain Golden Visa categories and other procedures where the applicant must prove a foreign university qualification.
How to Get a Degree Attested for the UAE
A foreign degree must complete the required verification and authentication in the country where it was issued before final attestation for use in the UAE. The process follows the issuing country of the degree, not the certificate holder’s nationality or current country of residence. The degree attestation process for the UAE includes:- Degree verification: Complete the university, education authority, notary or government verification required for the degree in its country of issue.
- Government authentication: The certificate is authenticated by the competent authority or foreign affairs authority responsible for documents issued for use abroad.
- UAE Embassy or Consulate attestation: The UAE mission responsible for the country of issue attests the authenticated degree certificate.
- UAE MOFA degree attestation: Complete the final Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation required for the certificate to be used in the UAE.
For example: If you are an Indian national living in Dubai but earned your degree from a UK university, the degree follows the UK degree attestation process for the UAE, not the Indian degree attestation process.

Any Certificate Attestation from the following Countries
Degree Name Different From Passport Name
If the name on your degree certificate is different from the name on your current passport, check the difference before starting the degree attestation process.
Common cases include a surname changed after marriage, initials instead of full names, missing middle names and different spellings or transliterations.
A marriage certificate, legal name-change certificate or another supporting document can be required to show that both names belong to the same person.
Check the name on the degree certificate, passport and supporting documents before submitting the original certificate for attestation.
A degree certificate and an academic transcript are separate documents. Attesting the degree certificate does not automatically attest the transcript. If the transcript is required for employment, university admission, professional licensing or another official process, it must be checked and attested separately according to the receiving authority’s requirements.

Which Degree Should I Attest for UAE Employment?
Attest the degree that is required for your UAE employment, professional licence or government application. If an employer specifically requests your Bachelor’s degree, submit and attest that certificate rather than assuming a Master’s degree will replace it.
For UAE private-sector work permits, MOHRE requires a Bachelor’s degree or higher for skill levels 1 and 2. Skill levels 3 and 4 require a diploma or higher. The qualification requirement therefore depends on the skill level and position.
If your position is based on a Master’s degree, PhD or another postgraduate qualification, attest the qualification requested for that position. Bachelor’s degree attestation, Master’s degree attestation and associate degree attestation are separate document processes. Attesting one certificate does not automatically attest the other degrees you hold.
If you have several qualifications, check which degree is required before starting the attestation process. This avoids attesting certificates that are not needed for the application.
