The UAE Ministry of Education has launched an online service to automatically attest higher education certificates as part of its efforts to digitize services expediting processes that earlier took much longer.
In the past, students had to apply for the attestation of their Higher Education Certificates and wait for at least three days to receive the files from the backend team before the attestation could be done.
Six UAE Universities are already onboard availing the nascent services.
The Director of Certificate Equivalency Department at the Ministry of Education Dr. Sameera Almulla told the Khaleej Times that “This project is about auto attestation of certificates issued by universities. Previously the students applied for this service, and it took three days to receive the files from the people at the back end and then we would do an attestation. Now after this launch the students will not request this service. Everything will happen proactively. The moment we receive all the information from the university, automatically it will get attested. All manual work is transferred into programming. That’s why it’s with zero human intervention.”
