Using a Dutch diploma in the UAE.
Need your Dutch diploma or university degree attested for use in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or elsewhere in the UAE? I coordinate the applicable Dutch legalisation, UAE embassy attestation and document handling directly from the Netherlands.
One direct contact for your Dutch diploma attestation.
A Dutch diploma may need several stages of authentication before it can be used in the UAE. The route depends on the issuing institution, the document itself and the receiving organisation.
I help coordinate the agreed steps in the Netherlands, including diploma preparation, relevant Dutch authorities, UAE embassy handling and international delivery where required.
You deal directly with me rather than a call centre or multiple case managers.
Which documents may need attestation?
The UAE recipient may request a degree certificate alone or additional academic records. Confirm the exact requirement before sending originals.
University degrees and diplomas
Bachelor’s, master’s and other Dutch higher-education qualifications, subject to the relevant authentication requirements.
Diploma supplements and transcripts
Academic records may be requested separately and may need their own preparation or legalisation route.
Other education certificates
Certificates and institution-issued statements can have different requirements from recognised diplomas.
From Dutch diploma to UAE attestation.
For an eligible Dutch diploma, the route commonly involves the following stages. Exact requirements and acceptance must be confirmed for the particular document.
Check the diploma and UAE requirement
Review the diploma, issuing institution and any employer, licensing or immigration instructions. Confirm whether an original, supplement or other academic record is needed.
DUO or relevant Dutch authentication
Where applicable, a recognised diploma is authenticated through DUO. Other education documents may require a different preparatory route.
Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The document proceeds through the applicable Dutch legalisation stage, where required.
UAE embassy attestation
Coordinate the applicable UAE embassy submission and attestation process in the Netherlands.
UAE MOFA and document delivery
Where required, final UAE MOFA attestation is arranged through the applicable UAE process. Return or tracked international delivery can be discussed.
The route above is indicative, not a guarantee that every document follows all five stages. Official acceptance, fees and processing requirements may change.
Check what the UAE recipient actually requires.
Avoid paying for attestation of the wrong document or arranging unnecessary translations.

Frequently asked questions.
Can an older Dutch diploma still be legalised?
Yes, age alone does not normally prevent an eligible recognised Dutch diploma from going through DUO authentication. The document must still meet the applicable requirements, and the UAE recipient may impose separate acceptance conditions.
Is an apostille enough for a Dutch diploma used in the UAE?
Do not assume that a Dutch apostille alone satisfies the UAE recipient. UAE use may require a consular attestation route. The required steps should be confirmed before submission.
Do I need to send my original diploma?
That depends on the document, the Dutch authentication route and what the UAE recipient accepts. I can review the available document form before you send it.
Does my diploma supplement need separate attestation?
Possibly. A diploma supplement or transcript is a separate document, and its preparation and attestation requirements may differ from those of the diploma.
Is an Arabic translation mandatory?
Not in every case. The receiving organisation determines its language requirements. Translation should be planned in the correct order alongside any required legalisation.
Can you coordinate this while I am in the UAE?
Yes, many Dutch-side steps can be coordinated remotely, provided the relevant authorities accept the required documents and representation. Original-document delivery can be arranged where needed.
How much does Dutch diploma attestation for the UAE cost?
The total depends on the document, the required authorities, official charges and courier or translation needs. Share your diploma details and UAE instructions to request a tailored quotation.
