True Copy of Medical Degree Certificate Dubai: Steps, Papers and Cost

True Copy of Medical Degree Certificate Dubai: What the Service Covers

A notary looks at your original certificate and your copy side by side. If they match, the notary certifies the copy as a true copy. We handle this at our Business Bay office, where our in-house notary public works, and we offer online notary public services and home visit notary services too.

For a true copy of a medical degree certificate in Dubai, the copy you present often goes with a licence or job application. The body that receives it may have its own rules about what it accepts, so ask it first.

If you need a general degree, not a medical one, see our page on a true copy of a degree certificate in Dubai.

True Copy of Medical Degree Certificate Requirements

The notary needs to see the original in person or through the route that your appointment uses. In practice, bring:

• Your original medical degree certificate.
• A clear copy of it, or we prepare the copy for you.
• Your passport or Emirates ID, so the notary can identify you.
• Any letter from the receiving body that says what it wants.

If the certificate is not in English or Arabic, the copy may need a translation by a legal translator registered with the UAE Ministry of Justice. Tell us when you book.

True Copy of Medical Degree Certificate Procedure

1. Tell us where the copy will be used. This decides whether a notary stamp alone is enough.
2. Send us a photo of the certificate on WhatsApp so we can check the paper.
3. We prepare the copy and the notarial wording.
4. You show your original and your identity document to the notary.
5. The notary compares the copy with the original and certifies it.
6. If the receiving body also wants attestation, we take care of it.

When You Also Need Attestation

A notary true copy is the first step. If the copy goes to a government body or abroad, it may also need attestation. The UAE is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so a foreign document is attested in the country that issued it, including the UAE embassy there, and then by MOFAIC in the UAE.

MOFAIC attests documents in the UAE. Its fee is AED 150 for personal documents such as a degree, and AED 2,000 for commercial documents. Check the MOFAIC attestation page for the current service. For the full chain, read our guide to degree certificate attestation in the UAE.

• Bringing only a copy. The notary needs the original.
• Asking for a notary copy when the receiving body wants attestation.
• Marking the certificate before the appointment.
• Forgetting translation for a certificate in another language.
