Why You Need This

Why Egyptians in the UAE Use SWLT for This

The chain crosses two countries and up to five authorities. One missed stamp, a name that does not match the passport or a laminated certificate sends the file back to the start.

1

One File, Both Countries

Our partner in Egypt handles the ministry and Egyptian MOFA stamps; we handle the UAE MOFA application and the equivalency or recognition filing. You deal with SWLT from the first message to the final certificate.

2

The Right Track From Day One

University degrees go to the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MoHESR) for recognition; school certificates go to the Ministry of Education for equalisation. We also tell you plainly when a step you were quoted elsewhere is not needed for your purpose.

3

Checked Before It Leaves

We check name spelling against your passport, the university and ministry stamps, and the condition of the original before anything is submitted, because those are the reasons files come back.

FAQ

Common Questions

Does my Egyptian degree need attestation to be recognised in the UAE? +

Not for recognition itself. The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research replaced the old University Qualification Equivalency with University Certificates Recognition and removed degree attestation as a prerequisite. Attestation is still commonly required for other purposes, such as work permits, professional licensing and some visas, so we confirm what your receiving authority asks for before you pay for any step.

How is a Thanaweya Amma certificate made equivalent in the UAE? +

School certificates are equalised by the UAE Ministry of Education, not MoHESR. The certificate must be attested by the education authority in Egypt and the Egyptian MOFA, then by the UAE side, before the equalisation application. We run the whole chain and file the application.

Do I need to travel to Egypt? +

No. Our partner in Egypt handles the steps there with your signed authorisation. If a family member in Egypt holds the original, they can hand it over there; otherwise it is collected from you in the UAE.

Are Al-Azhar certificates handled differently? +

Yes. Al-Azhar school and university certificates are attested through Al-Azhar before the Egyptian MOFA, rather than through the Ministry of Higher Education or Ministry of Education. The UAE steps are the same.

How long does the whole process take? +

It depends on the document and on how quickly the university or ministry in Egypt responds. MoHESR states about 30 working days for a recognition decision. We give you a realistic estimate for your file at the review stage and update you at each step.

My certificate is laminated. Can it still be attested? +

Usually not. The UAE MOFA does not attest laminated documents, so you would need a fresh original or a certified true copy from the issuing body. We arrange that request in Egypt as part of the file.

Do Egyptian certificates need translation? +

Not for UAE ministries, because they are issued in Arabic. Many employers, free zones and licensing bodies, and any use outside the UAE, need a certified English translation. Our MOJ-licensed translator prepares it once the attestation is complete, so the stamps appear in the translation too.

How can I verify the UAE attestation? +

Digitally attested documents carry a reference number. Anyone can check them at verify.mofa.gov.ae using that number and the issue date.
