A certified true copy of a degree certificate is a photocopy of your original degree that has been compared against the original and marked as a true and accurate copy by a licensed UAE legal professional, carried out in house at Certified True Copy Dubai. The copy is signed, stamped and dated, so an employer can rely on it without holding or separately verifying your original certificate.

For employment purposes, this certified copy is usually what an HR department, recruitment agency or hiring manager asks for during onboarding, background screening or internal record keeping. It is a separate process from full government attestation through the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which some employers or job categories require in addition to, or instead of, a certified true copy. Check with your employer which one they actually need before you proceed.

## Certified Copies for Employer and HR Requirements

If a Dubai employer or HR department has asked for a certified true copy of degree certificate for employment purposes, this page covers what that involves, who typically needs one and how to get it done at Certified True Copy Dubai.

## Who Typically Needs This

- Job seekers asked to submit a certified copy of their degree during recruitment
- New hires whose employer requires certified academic documents for the HR file
- Employees going through internal background or qualification verification
- Candidates applying to government-linked or regulated employers that specify certified copies
- Recruitment agencies handling document verification on behalf of a candidate
- Jobseekers relocating to Dubai who need a certified copy ahead of a work visa application tied to a job offer

## Who Should Attend

The certificate holder should attend in person with the original degree certificate, since the licensed legal professional needs to examine the original before certifying the copy. If attending in person is not possible, a representative may be able to submit the documents for you. HR teams handling this for several staff members at once should confirm in advance whether each employee needs to attend individually.

## How It Works

1. Get in touch with Certified True Copy Dubai and confirm the document, purpose and number of certified copies needed.
2. Bring the original degree certificate and your ID to your appointment.
3. The document is examined and certified in house by one of our own licensed lawyers or legal consultants.
4. Collect your certified true copy or choose delivery to your employer or HR department.
5. If your employer also requires full attestation, we can advise on the separate steps for that.

## Mistakes to Avoid

- Bringing a photocopy instead of the original degree certificate to the appointment
- Assuming a certified true copy is the same as full Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation, when your employer actually needs the latter
- Not confirming with HR in advance how many certified copies are needed
- Leaving the request until the day before a job start date, when urgent appointments may not be available
- Using a degree certificate with visible damage or alterations, which can complicate certification

## Typical Situations

A candidate accepts a job offer in Dubai and the employer’s HR department asks for a certified true copy of their degree certificate before finalizing the offer and starting the visa process.

An employee already working in Dubai is asked, months into the role, to provide a certified copy of their qualification for an internal compliance or audit review.

A recruitment agency is coordinating document verification for several candidates being placed with the same employer and needs certified copies for each one before onboarding begins.

## How This Differs From General Certificate Certification

This page focuses specifically on certified copies of degree certificates requested for employment, which is more specific than the general Certified True Copy of Educational Certificates & Degrees hub covering all academic-document uses. Most private-sector employers in Dubai only require a certified true copy, not full government attestation. Some government-linked employers, free zones or overseas parent companies do require full Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation in addition to, or instead of, a certified copy. Confirm which your employer needs before booking, since the two processes are not interchangeable.

Our plain-language guide explains how these differ.

## What to Bring

- Original degree certificate (the issued certificate itself, not a photocopy)
- A valid passport or Emirates ID for identification
- A letter or email from the employer confirming what the certified copy is for, if available
- Prior attestation certificates, if the degree has already been through Ministry of Education or Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation

Questions

## Frequently asked questions

No. A certified true copy confirms your copy matches the original document, carried out by our own licensed lawyers and legal consultants. Full attestation is a separate chain of approvals, typically through the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and sometimes an embassy. Some employers ask for one, some ask for both, so confirm with HR before you book.

In most cases the certificate holder needs to attend with the original document.

This depends on what your employer has asked for. Some request one copy for the HR file, others request additional copies for visa or background-check purposes. Confirm the number with your employer before your appointment.

Certified true copy attestation can generally be done for degree certificates issued outside the UAE. If your employer also requires attestation from the issuing country’s authorities before the UAE stage, that is a separate process.

Turnaround depends on the document and appointment availability. See our Same-Day / Urgent Certified True Copy Attestation page for how urgent requests are handled.
