If you’re a doctor, nurse, or healthcare professional from the United Kingdom planning to work in the UAE, your medical or nursing certificates must go through a complete attestation process before they’re accepted by UAE authorities such as the Ministry of Health (MOH) or Dubai Health Authority (DHA).
In this guide, Best Attestation explains everything you need to know about UK Medical and Nursing Certificate Attestation for the UAE — including why it’s required, how to do it, and how we can help you complete the process smoothly and quickly.
🏥 What Is UK Medical and Nursing Certificate Attestation?
Attestation is the process of verifying the authenticity of your educational and professional documents so they are legally recognized in another country — in this case, the United Arab Emirates.
For UK-issued documents, attestation confirms that your medical degree, nursing diploma, or professional registration is genuine, and allows you to apply for employment licenses, residency visas, and healthcare authority approvals in the UAE.
➡️ Best Attestation manages the entire process — from document verification in the UK to final attestation by UAE authorities.
📜 Why Attestation Is Required for UK Medical and Nursing Certificates
Before you can work as a nurse, doctor, or medical technician in the UAE, your qualifications must be attested to ensure:
- The certificate was issued by an accredited UK institution
- The signatures and seals are genuine
- The document meets UAE Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health standards
Without attestation, your documents won’t be accepted by:
- MOH (Ministry of Health and Prevention)
- DHA (Dubai Health Authority)
- DOH (Department of Health – Abu Dhabi)
- Immigration and Labour Departments
➡️ To avoid delays or rejections, contact Best Attestation to have your UK medical or nursing certificates properly legalized for UAE use.
