Attestation of your high school certificate is a vital process if you plan to use your academic credentials for higher education, employment, or visa applications, both locally and internationally. The attestation process in the UAE differs slightly based on the emirate in which you studied, with KHDA managing Dubai’s private schools and ADEK overseeing Abu Dhabi’s education system.
The role of KHDA (Knowledge and Human Development Authority) and ADEK (Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge) in the UAE is to ensure that educational institutions and certificates align with local and international standards. Both authorities provide initial verification of high school certificates, which is mandatory for further attestations by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFAIC) and the relevant embassy if you intend to use your certificate abroad.
If you completed high school at a private school in Dubai, the first step is to have your certificate attested by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA). KHDA attestation ensures your certificate aligns with UAE educational standards and is recognized by local and international authorities.
Obtain your original high school certificate, making sure it’s signed and stamped by your school’s administration. This is essential for the KHDA attestation process.
KHDA attestation is required for all high school certificates from private schools in Dubai. Once attested by KHDA, your certificate is recognized for further processes like MOFAIC attestation.
Once your high school certificate is attested by KHDA, you can proceed with MOFAIC attestation and embassy attestation in the UAE if required by the destination country.

Attestation is the official validation of educational documents such as report cards, school completion certificates, and other academic records. The Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) is responsible for ensuring that students’ academic documents are legally recognized for further education, employment, or visa purposes. The process certifies that the document is authentic and recognized by local and international authorities.
If you completed high school in Abu Dhabi, your certificate must be attested by ADEK before proceeding to the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFAIC) for further attestation.
Ensure you have the necessary documents ready for attestation:
Log in to the ADEK student portal or visit their service center to submit your documents for attestation. Online submission is generally the easiest and fastest method.
Once submitted, ADEK will review your documents to ensure they meet the necessary standards. This verification process ensures the authenticity of the documents.
Once ADEK verifies your documents, they will officially attest them. You will receive the stamped or electronically attested documents, which are now valid for further use in the UAE or abroad.
Once your high school certificate has been attested by KHDA (for Dubai), ADEK (for Abu Dhabi), or MoE (for other Emirates), the next step is to have it attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFAIC). MOFAIC attestation is mandatory for legal recognition of the document both in the UAE and internationally.
MOFAIC attestation ensures that your high school certificate is legally recognized within the UAE and abroad. It is essential for:
If you plan to use your attested high school certificate in another country (for university applications, work visas, or immigration purposes), you may also need to have your document attested by the embassy or consulate of the country where it will be used.
