Ghanaian Degree Authentication
Ghanaian Degree Authentication
Ghanaian university degrees require verification by the National Accreditation Board (NAB) to confirm the issuing institution and programme are accredited. This verification is essential before the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will authenticate the degree for international use.
Green Apple Attest manages the complete chain for degrees from the University of Ghana, KNUST, University of Cape Coast, Ashesi University, and all other NAB-accredited Ghanaian institutions. We coordinate with NAB, the issuing university, MFA, UAE Embassy, and MOFA to produce a fully attested degree.
Our service covers bachelor degrees, master degrees, doctorates, and Higher National Diplomas from accredited polytechnics. We understand which Ghanaian qualifications UAE licensing bodies recognise and can advise you on what documentation will strengthen your application.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Confirm your programme is currently accredited by NAB before starting. Programmes can lose accreditation, which would prevent authentication of degrees from unaccredited years.
- If your university can provide a letter confirming your graduation, include it with your submission. This supports the NAB verification process.
- Process your degree alongside any professional body registration certificates to save time. Both go through the same MFA and Embassy chain.
