Marksheet Attestation Dubai — Transcript & Academic Record Verification
What is marksheet attestation and why is it needed in Dubai?
Marksheet attestation is the official verification and legalization of your academic transcripts or mark sheets for use in the UAE. It is required alongside degree attestation for employment visas, certificate equivalency applications, university admissions, and professional licensing. The process follows the same chain as degree attestation — home country, embassy, and MOFA.
About Marksheet Attestation
Marksheet attestation (also called transcript attestation) is the process of officially verifying and legalizing your academic transcripts, mark sheets, or grade records for use in the UAE. While degree attestation verifies the final qualification, marksheet attestation verifies the detailed academic record — subjects studied, grades achieved, and credit hours completed. Marksheet attestation is required for: UAE employment visas (some employers require attested marksheets in addition to degrees), certificate equivalency through the Ministry of Education (MOE requires attested transcripts), university admissions in the UAE for further education, professional licensing where detailed academic records are needed, and Golden Visa applications based on academic achievement. The attestation process is identical to degree attestation: verification by the issuing university, authentication by the home country's education ministry, UAE embassy legalization, and final MOFA attestation. Both marksheets and degree certificates should ideally be processed together to save time and ensure consistency.

- Passport copy of the document holder
- Emirates ID copy (if already in UAE)

Marksheet Attestation — Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, they are separate documents and both may need individual attestation. Your degree certificate confirms the qualification earned, while the marksheet details your subject-wise grades and credit hours. Many UAE employers and the MOE require both documents to be attested. We recommend processing them together to save time.
