Why Filipinos in the UAE Need School Document DFA Apostille and UAE embassy attestation?

For Filipinos working or studying in the UAE, school documents such as diplomas and Transcript of Records (TOR) often need apostille, embassy attestation, and MOFA attestation. This process ensures your educational credentials are legally recognized by UAE employers, universities, and government authorities.


Step 1: DFA Apostille of School Documents in the Philippines


The first step is securing an apostille from the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) in the Philippines. Since the country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, the old “red ribbon” process is no longer needed.


Documents That Require DFA Apostille

  • Diploma (college or university)

  • Transcript of Records (TOR)

  • High school certificate (if required)

  • Certificate of graduation



Process for DFA apostille of school documents :

  • Have your documents certified by your school or university (CAV).

  • Submit them to CHED (for higher education) or DepEd (for basic education).

  • Bring them to the DFA for Apostille stamping.

Step 2: Embassy Attestation of Philippine School documents

After DFA apostille , some employers and institutions in the UAE still request UAE Embassy attestation in Manila, Philippines.


Where to Process:

  • UAE Embassy in Manila

  • Philippine Consulate/Embassy in Dubai/Abu dhabi

Step 3: MOFA Attestation in the UAE

The last step is attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). Without MOFA attestation, your diploma or TOR will not be officially recognized in the UAE.

Requirements:

  • Apostilled and Embassy-attested school documents

  • Copy of your passport

Why School Document Attestation is Important for Filipinos in the UAE?

  • Employment visa applications

  • Job promotions and salary upgrades

  • Professional licensing (teachers, engineers, nurses, etc.)

  • University or higher education admissions

  • Dependent visa sponsorship requirements

For Filipinos in the UAE, having your school documents (diploma and TOR) Apostilled, Embassy-attested, and MOFA-attested is a crucial step in securing better opportunities and complying with UAE regulations. By following the correct procedure, you ensure that your qualifications are legally recognized and accepted.
