Stages of the nursing certificate attestation in UAE
Notary verification from certificate’s issuing country
The first step is getting the certificate verified in the issuing country. A public notary can provide the verification.
Verification by Ministry of External Affairs
Following notary verification in the issuing country, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) located in the issuing country of the certificate to be attested will verify the document.
UAE embassy verification
After the MEA attests the nursing certificate, it will then be forwarded onto the embassy of the UAE in the certificate’s issuing country in order to ensure the document is authentic and there is legitimate reason for the attestation process.
MOFA attestation in UAE
The Ministry/Department of Foreign Affairs in UAE will have to verify the document that underwent attestation in the different agencies prior to being submitted in their office.
It is important for an applicant to have a valid license in order to be employed as a nurse. A nursing license is required as original documents for nursing weren’t issued in UAE and originated from a different country.
An employer in UAE will require a license and attested nursing certificate prior to issuing a labor card. A labor card is essential for all those who are employed within UAE.


Importance of Nursing Certificate Attestation in UAE
If you’re a registered nurse from a country that’s outside UAE, copies and original documents have to be proven authentic and genuine in order for them to be considered valid in the eyes of the law. The authentication process is the attestation of certificates.
Today, it has become more and more important to have documents verified. With rising occurrences of counterfeit certificates, it’s best to ensure that a person possesses attested certificates with legitimate reasons in coming to the UAE.
Through the attestation, all documents are checked thoroughly and verified by authorities to present true information. If there is language used that’s other than the UAE’s official language, the document has to be translated with the translation copy also requiring attestation.
The attested documents will have signatures and seals of authorities if they have been approved. The signing and/or sealing of documents will depend on prevailing rules in different ministries and departments.
If you’re planning on working as a nurse anywhere in the UAE, it is advised that you select the service provider you hire for nursing certificate attestation with care and due diligence as not all offer quality services and can be relied on.
