Equivalency route check: Degree equivalency involves multiple steps - attestation at origin, UAE embassy stamp, MOFA, translation - and the order varies by country. We see clients who translated first when the Ministry of Education needed attestation first. We map the full route before starting, so nothing gets rejected at the counter. Arkan handles translation under the correct stamp and coordinates MOFA attestation (done-for-you). Embassy legalization steps are guide-only - we prepare the file and advise on the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is MOJ-certified translation required for a degree certificate?For UAE government submissions (Ministry of Education equivalency, GDRFA work permits, Dubai Courts) - yes, MOJ-certified translation is required. For private employers and some international universities, certified translation at any tier is usually accepted. Send your document and we confirm which tier your receiving authority requires.
How long does degree certificate translation take?Standard degree certificates (single-page, standard format) are delivered same-day to next business day. Through Arkan Go, 4-24 hours for eligible files. Multi-page transcripts or certificates with complex formatting may take 1-2 business days.
Do I need my transcript translated too, or just the degree certificate?It depends on the receiving authority. Ministry of Education equivalency typically requires both the degree certificate and the full transcript. Work permit applications usually need only the degree certificate. University admissions abroad often require both. We confirm what your specific submission needs during the route check.
My degree is from a non-English speaking country. What is the process?If your degree is in a language other than Arabic or English, it follows the three-tier process: if an MOJ translator exists for that pair (e.g., French to Arabic), we use them directly (Tier 2). If not, it may go source language to English, then English to Arabic. The certification tier and route are confirmed before starting.
Does the translation need attestation for equivalency?For Ministry of Education equivalency, the original degree typically needs attestation from the issuing country (apostille or embassy chain) before or alongside translation. The translation itself is then done under MOJ certification. The order guide explains when each step comes first.
