Degree Attestation, MOFA Attestation & Police Clearance in the UAE
Degree attestation in the UAE normally runs through the issuing authority, the home-country ministry, the UAE embassy and finally MOFA. Residents of Abu Dhabi can use our MOFA attestation Abu Dhabi service without visiting the centres.
A police clearance certificate typically needs translation, MOFA attestation and sometimes embassy legalization before foreign authorities accept it. Once your degree is attested you can apply for an equivalency certificate from the Ministry of Education, also known as the MOE equivalency certificate.
Marriage and birth certificates attested here are also the first step of a family visa UAE application.
