Certificate Equivalency in UAE — UAE service illustration

Overview

What this service is

Certificate equivalency is a Ministry of Education assessment of whether a foreign qualification corresponds to a recognised level for study, employment, or licensing in the UAE.

Who it is for

Holders of foreign school or university certificates who have been asked for equivalency by an employer, a university, or a regulator. Not every attested certificate needs equivalency.

Relevant authority

The Ministry of Education handles equivalency. Attestation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a different step and may be required as an input, but it is not the equivalency decision.

Typical documents

The attested certificate, transcript, passport, and any study-duration or title evidence the Ministry’s current form requests. Requirements differ between school certificates and higher-education degrees.

How Tellus handles Certificate Equivalency

  • School and university certificate equivalency guidance
  • Attestation chain check before the equivalency application
  • Transcript, name and date detail review
  • Application typing and file preparation
  • Follow-up support for pending corrections
  • Requirements and fees depend on the authority — no guaranteed outcome

What We Need to Start

Share your company or personal details, intended activity, preferred emirate, visa needs and any existing approvals. If you already have documents, send them by WhatsApp or email.

Estimated charges depend on the business activity, jurisdiction, legal structure, visa requirements and government approvals. We confirm a clear checklist before work starts.

How the work proceeds

01

Confirm the pathway

Tell us the emirate, the applicant or company, and the transaction. Tellus checks whether the request is equivalency or only attestation, lists the Ministry form’s documents, and types the application data. The Ministry issues the outcome.

02

Match documents to the authority

The attested certificate, transcript, passport, and any study-duration or title evidence the Ministry’s current form requests. Requirements differ between school certificates and higher-education degrees.

03

File and follow the authority’s response

Tellus tracks corrections, payments, and appointments the authority raises. Approval remains that authority’s decision.

Estimated Timeline

Timelines vary by document completeness, authority appointments and case type. After reviewing your file, we share realistic next-step stages.

Pricing Disclaimer

Government fees and service charges are confirmed before work starts. Website estimates are not a binding quote until your case is reviewed.

Which documents are usually required?

What affects the government fees?
The Ministry publishes its own fee for the service in use. Translation and prior attestation are extra. Tellus does not quote a flat equivalency price.
What affects the timeline?
A complete attested file is reviewed faster than one returned for a missing transcript or an unclear qualification title. Tellus does not promise an approval date.
What are the main restrictions?
Equivalency can be refused or issued at a different level than the applicant expects. It does not grant a work visa or a professional practice licence by itself.
Do you guarantee approval?
No. The government authority decides. Tellus prepares the file and follows up. Website text is guidance, not a promise of approval or a fixed fee.
How does Tellus assist?
Tellus checks whether the request is equivalency or only attestation, lists the Ministry form’s documents, and types the application data. The Ministry issues the outcome.

Contact Tellus by WhatsApp, phone, or the website form with the emirate and the transaction. Abu Dhabi files are handled by TELLUS TYPING LLC SPC. Dubai business-setup files are handled by TELLUS BUSINESS SET UP SERVICE.
