Academic Document Translation in Dubai

Degrees, Transcripts & Professional Certificates

Your educational credentials open doors to employment, professional licensing, and further education in the UAE. Our MOJ-certified translations ensure your degrees, transcripts, and professional certificates are recognized by employers, licensing bodies, and universities throughout the Emirates. Whether you are a healthcare professional seeking DHA licensing, an engineer pursuing SCAD registration, or a teacher applying for MOE certification—accurate academic translation is the foundation of your professional journey here.

When you need academic document translation in the UAE:

  • Employment authorization — MOHRE requires translated and attested degree certificates for work permit applications. Employers verify educational qualifications before visa sponsorship
  • Professional licensing — DHA, DOH, SCAD, and MOE each have specific credential translation requirements. Healthcare professionals need medical degrees and specialty certificates. Engineers need accredited engineering degrees. Teachers need teaching qualifications
  • MOHESR equivalency — Foreign degrees require equivalency certification from the Ministry of Higher Education for certain UAE positions. We coordinate the complete process
  • University admissions — UAE universities require translated transcripts and degree certificates for graduate program applications and credential evaluation

Understanding UAE credential recognition bodies:

  • MOHESR (Ministry of Higher Education) — Issues equivalency certificates recognizing foreign degrees for UAE employment. Required for many government and semi-government positions
  • DHA / DOH — Dubai Health Authority and Department of Health Abu Dhabi license healthcare professionals. Medical degrees, specialty certificates, and good standing letters all require certified translation
  • SCAD — Society of Engineers registers engineers for consultant licensing and project approvals. Engineering degree translations must accurately reflect specialization and accreditation
  • MOE / KHDA — Ministry of Education and Knowledge and Human Development Authority license teachers. Teaching degrees, subject specializations, and background checks need translation

Name consistency across documents is critical. We verify that names on translated degrees and transcripts match your passport and Emirates ID exactly. Spelling variations are the most common cause of credential rejection—we flag these issues before submission.
