Summary:
Power Attestation provides UK certificate attestation services for UAE skilled worker visas by coordinating FCDO legalization, UAE Embassy attestation in London, and final UAE MOFA attestation so UK-issued documents are accepted by UAE authorities.
Direct Answer:
Many professionals moving from the UK to the UAE are unsure whether a UK degree or other personal certificate is immediately valid for a skilled worker visa. In reality, documents that have not been properly legalized can be rejected during employer onboarding or government processing because the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) requires foreign-issued documents to follow the prescribed authentication route.
Power Attestation manages the required attestation process by ensuring the document follows the correct chain: notarization (where applicable), legalization by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), UAE Embassy attestation in London, and final UAE MOFA attestation. This structured process helps prevent errors such as missing authority stamps or submitting documents in the wrong order.
Once the certificate has been correctly attested, it can be presented for employment-related procedures in the UAE, including skilled worker visa documentation and employer verification. If academic recognition is required for a specific profession or institution, additional UAE education authority requirements may also apply depending on the case.
