Any UAE process that recognises your qualification will require the full attestation chain.
-

DHA, DoH, MOH, ADAA, KHDA and legal regulators demand attestation before granting practice licences.
-
MOE equivalency & PG study
Mandatory for MOE equivalency and postgraduate study — pairs with our Equivalency certificate service.

Free zone & corporate roles
Free zones and multinational HR teams request attested degrees for visa sponsorship of professional staff.

Original degree certificate
Original with university seal, registrar signature and graduation date.
Passport copy

Top reasons documents get rejected.
Preventable rejection reasons — Benchmark screens for each in the pre-check.
-
Missing HRD or university verification
MOFA cannot verify a degree without a full home-country chain including HRD or Ministry of Education.
-
Wrong embassy sequence
Some countries need state authentication before national MOFA — skipping a step breaks the chain.
-
Name spelling mismatch
Any variation between passport and degree spelling will halt the file at MOFA or UAE Embassy stage.
-
Laminated or damaged original
Laminated, folded or altered originals are rejected at the counter.
