Are you a fresh university graduate in the UAE looking to start your career or apply for a Golden Visa? One crucial step in the process is document attestation.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) has made it easy for students and graduates of private universities to attest their documents online. Here’s a simplified guide to help you through the process.
Why is document attestation necessary?
Document attestation verifies the authenticity of your academic credentials, making it essential for job applications, higher education, or professional platforms.
Who needs to attest their documents?
Graduates of private universities in the UAE need to attest their documents, while students of public institutions do not require attestation.
How to attest your documents online
- Visit the MOE website ((link unavailable)) or download the MOE UAE application.
- Click on ‘Service catalog’ and select ‘Request for attestation of academic and professional university qualifications issued in the UAE’.
- Start a new application, log in through UAE Pass, fill out the form, upload required documents, and pay the fees.
- Wait for your application to be reviewed and attested or rejected.
Required documents
The documents needed vary depending on the degree or certificate you want to attest. Typically, you’ll need:
- Graduation certificate or statement

Cost, time, and conditions
