Updated 3 November 2026. ## Degree Certificate Attestation for UAE Jobs and Licensing Degree attestation for UAE use verifies the official stamps and signatures on a university degree issued abroad, so UAE employers and authorities can rely on it. It is often needed for a skilled work permit, and some regulators and universities ask for it too. Benchmark Attestation Services handles degree certificate attestation in Dubai for graduates and employers. We check the degree against your passport, arrange the university, home-country and UAE Embassy steps, and coordinate the final [MOFA attestation](https://onlineattestation.com/mofa-attestation). The authorities make every decision; our job is to give them a complete, correct file. ## Who Needs Degree Attestation in the UAE? **Degrees issued outside the UAE** — The UAE is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention, so an apostille alone is not enough. An attested degree is commonly needed for: - A MOHRE work permit at skill levels 1 and 2, which require a bachelor’s degree or higher - Professional licensing, where the regulator asks for an attested qualification - Admission to some UAE universities for postgraduate study Requirements depend on your job, regulator and employer, and we check what yours needs before you commit. Some professions also need separate primary-source verification. [Degree recognition (previously equivalency)](https://onlineattestation.com/certificate-equivalency-uae) is a different MOHESR service, which we also handle. **Degrees issued in the UAE** — A degree from a UAE university does not need the foreign chain. For use abroad, it may first need attestation by the relevant UAE education authority, then MOFA and the destination country’s embassy in the UAE. We arrange each stage for you. ## Documents Required for Degree Attestation Start with scans; we confirm the original set for your university and country. **The degree certificate** - The original final degree, usually not a provisional certificate - University seal, signatures and graduation date clearly visible - Clean and complete, not laminated, torn or altered **Supporting documents** - A passport copy - Transcripts or mark sheets, where the route or employer asks for them - A certified translation, only if the receiving authority asks for it **What changes by country** — Some countries add a university verification, education ministry or state step first, and we arrange it as part of your route.

College and vocational diplomas follow a separate [diploma certificate attestation](https://onlineattestation.com/diploma-certificate-attestation) route. ## What We Check Before Submission Degree submissions can be delayed by name mismatches, missing university or ministry steps, or the wrong certificate type.

The cost depends on the issuing country and the steps it needs, so send a scan and we will check your degree and quote the full route before you commit. ### Is degree attestation required for a UAE work permit? Many skilled UAE work permits require attested academic qualifications. MOHRE generally requires a bachelor’s degree or higher for skill levels 1 and 2, while other levels have different requirements. We check what your role needs before you commit. ### What is the difference between degree attestation and degree recognition? Attestation verifies the official stamps and signatures on your degree.
