[Start Your Request](https://certifiedtruecopydubai.ae/contact-us/) [WhatsApp us](https://wa.me/971524841790) A certified true copy of a school certificate or transcript is a photocopy that has been compared against the original document and marked as a true and accurate copy by a licensed UAE legal professional, carried out in house at Certified True Copy Dubai. It gives a receiving school, education authority or university confidence that the copy matches the original record. Parents and students commonly need this when transferring between schools, applying to a new school in Dubai or elsewhere, or submitting a school leaving certificate as part of a further education application. Depending on where the document is going, a certified copy alone may be enough, or full attestation may also be required, particularly for transfers or applications outside the UAE. ## Certified Copies for School Transfers and Applications If a new school, education authority or university has asked for a certified true copy of school certificate for a transfer or application, this page explains what that involves and how to get it done at Certified True Copy Dubai. ## Who Typically Needs This - Parents transferring a child between schools within Dubai or the UAE - Families relocating and needing certified school records for a new school abroad - Students applying to further education or vocational programs after school - Students needing a certified transcript alongside a school leaving certificate - Guardians coordinating school documents on behalf of a minor ## Who Should Attend For a minor’s school certificate, a parent or legal guardian normally attends with the student’s original documents and their own identification. Older students may be able to attend with a parent or guardian. If a parent or guardian cannot attend in person, a representative may be able to submit the documents on their behalf. ## How It Works 1. Get in touch with Certified True Copy Dubai and confirm which school documents need certifying and where they are going. 2. Bring the original certificate or transcript, along with the required identification, to your appointment. 3. The document is examined and certified in house by one of our own licensed lawyers or legal consultants. 4. Collect the certified true copy for submission to the new school or education authority. 5. If the receiving school or country also requires full attestation, we can advise on the next steps for that. ## Mistakes to Avoid - Assuming a certified copy is automatically accepted by a new school abroad without checking their specific requirement - Bringing only the leaving certificate when the new school also asked for certified transcripts - Leaving the request until close to a school transfer date, when urgent appointments may not be available - Not bringing the required parent or guardian identification alongside the student’s documents - Using a school certificate that is damaged, faded or has unclear school stamps ## Typical Situations A family relocating from Dubai to another country needs certified copies of their child’s school leaving certificate and transcripts for the new school’s admissions file. A student finishing school in Dubai applies to a vocational or further education program that asks for a certified copy of their school leaving certificate. Parents transferring a child between two schools within Dubai are asked by the new school to submit a certified copy of the previous school’s records. ## How This Differs From Degree Certification This page covers school leaving certificates and transcripts specifically, as distinct from certified copies of university degree certificates covered elsewhere on the Certified True Copy of Educational Certificates & Degrees hub. School transfers within the UAE typically only need a certified true copy. Transfers or applications abroad more often require full attestation of the school certificate, through the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs and sometimes an embassy, in addition to certification. Confirm the receiving school or country’s specific requirement before assuming a certified copy alone is enough. Our plain-language guide explains how these differ.

Some accept a certified true copy on its own, others require full attestation as well. Confirm directly with the receiving school before you rely on certification alone. If the receiving school or program has asked for transcripts specifically, bring the original transcripts to your appointment so they can be certified alongside the leaving certificate. A parent or legal guardian should bring their own passport or Emirates ID along with the student’s original school certificate. Start as early as possible once you know the receiving school’s document requirements, particularly if full attestation may also be needed, since that process takes longer than certification alone. ## Get Your Certified Copy Get your certified true copy of school certificates and transcripts with Certified True Copy Dubai today.
