Step by step

Your document & attestation route

1

Prepare original documents

Collect originals (secondary/higher-secondary certificates & marksheets for undergraduate; degree & transcripts for graduate). Check names, dates and grades are consistent and match your passport — mismatches are the most common cause of delay.

2

Home-country attestation

Certificates are attested by the issuing board/university and relevant government body, then legalised by your Ministry of Foreign Affairs (in Bangladesh, education board → Ministry of Education → MoFA; in Sri Lanka, the relevant authority → MoFA).

3

UAE Embassy / Consulate

After the home MoFA stamp, have the documents attested by the UAE mission serving Bangladesh or Sri Lanka.

4

Complete attestation inside the UAE

Certificates commonly need a final UAE MoFA attestation and, where applicable, UAE Ministry of Education recognition. The university can advise which in-country steps apply.

5

Certified translation & equivalency

Non-English documents need a certified legal English/Arabic translation. An equivalency/recognition certificate may be required — ask admissions which documents and when.
