Fees and steps checked on
We attest your degree or diploma from abroad from start to finish: the check or notary in the issuing country, its foreign ministry, the UAE embassy and MOFA attestation in the UAE. You start by sending photos on WhatsApp. We tell you the route and one total price before any work starts.
Price: from AED 985 plus VAT for a UK degree (standard route), AED 1,025 plus VAT for a USA degree, and from AED 1,900 plus VAT for a Canadian degree, all fees and courier included. A UAE-issued degree that only needs the MOFA stamp is from AED 250 plus VAT. Every route is listed on attestation fees.
Looking ahead: see Degree attestation cost 2027.
What we do for you
- We check your degree. From your photos we confirm the route and give you one total price.
- We get it certified in the issuing country. By a notary or solicitor, or the education check some countries need first, such as CHED or SAQA.
- We get the foreign ministry stamp. For example FCDO, the US Department of State or Global Affairs Canada.
- We get the UAE embassy and MOFA stamps. For the UK and the USA this stage is digital, usually 2 to 3 working days.
- You receive the attested degree in the UAE, ready for your employer, visa or MoHESR recognition.
Why people hand it to us
- Every stamp in one place. We handle and follow up each one.
- One total price first. Every fee is inside the price you see before any work starts.
- Any country. UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Europe, the Philippines, Africa and the Middle East.
- You stay in the UAE. The original travels by courier and comes back attested, so you do not need to fly home.
When you need it
You need it for a work permit in a skilled role (work visa attestation), the golden visa and equivalency. Degrees issued in the UAE are excluded from the work permit rule. The UAE is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so an apostille alone is never enough. See attestation vs apostille.

What to send us
A photo of each is enough to get your route and price:
- The degree or diploma (the original must not be laminated)
- The transcript, if your employer or MoHESR asks for it
- A copy of your passport
- A legal translation if the degree is not in Arabic or English
You do not need UAE PASS of your own: MOFA allows anyone to apply on someone else's behalf.
What usually delays a file
- Apostille only. Employers and GDRFA reject it.
- Laminated original. MOFA does not attest laminated documents.
- Unaccredited US institution. Only regionally accredited US institutions are accepted.
- Name mismatch between the degree and your passport.
- Wrong translation. It must be by a UAE Ministry of Justice licensed translator.
We check all of this before anything is submitted. More in why attestation gets rejected, attesting a degree from a closed university and online degree attestation in the UAE. To confirm an attestation later, see how to verify a MOFA attestation.
