I have been searching for the easiest way to get Equivalency in last few months.. Finally I found the procedure for the same. I will explain to you what I have learnt in this journey.

There are two points to Discuss related to Teacher License in UAE.

1.Genuinity Certificate

2.Equivalency Certificate

1.Genuinity Certificate:

It is a legalization process to verify the genuinity of a certificate.

This can be done via IVS Global Services – Attestation Service , Dubai.

First you have to get attestation on the required certificate ( eg: B.Sc Degree , M.Sc Degree, B.Tech Degree ) by the Govt departments of home county ( eg: India) and UAE. This can be done with the help of certificate attestation agencies. They will charge almost AED 500 – 525  and will take 8 to 10 working days. pickup and drop off service also available with them.

  • Thanks for your perfect explanation. I have doubt about getting DD. Is it ok to take DD a day before visiting to IVF office?

    • But make sure that you have taken on the exact address, even some people taken DD from india and kept copy of the same, here the service charge is really high, if it is in Doller , they charge 63 AED, I have no idea about indian rupee DD

  • The process of equivalency and attestation is nicely explained. Thank you. I have only a query. If I need to get equivalency for my PhD certificate , I need to get my MSc certificate attested only or need to do the BSc as well?

    • As per their explanation, you have to attest M.Sc only for Ph.D , but please keep in mind that IF YOU HAVE TAKEN Ph.D After you started working in UAE, you may not get equivalency, because YOU HAVE TO UPLOAD ENTRY-EXIT FILE ( download it from ICA App, aed 130 ) and upload, via this they will make sure that it is not taken as distance but mentioned in certificate as regular

    • As per the MOE customer care explanation, you have to do the attestation for previous certificate.
