Education Document Attestation
Education Document Attestation
Whether you are enrolling at Sultan Qaboos University, applying for a professional licence, or seeking academic credential recognition from the Oman Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, your educational documents must carry a verified chain of attestation stamps. Omani institutions are strict about document authenticity, and incomplete attestation will result in outright rejection of your application regardless of your qualifications.
The attestation chain for educational documents bound for Oman is particularly rigorous. Certificates must be authenticated by the issuing institution's country of origin, then stamped by that country's foreign ministry and the UAE Embassy there (if issued outside the UAE). Within the UAE, they pass through the Ministry of Education or relevant authority, the UAE MOFA, and finally the Oman Embassy. Each stage verifies the authenticity of the stamps that came before it, creating an unbroken chain of trust.
GreenAttest specializes in navigating this multi-stage process for educational credentials. Our team understands the specific requirements of the Oman Ministry of Higher Education and major Omani universities, so we ensure your documents meet the exact format and attestation standards expected. From initial document review through final embassy stamping, we manage the entire workflow from our Dubai office, keeping you informed at every stage.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- If your degree was issued in a language other than English or Arabic, arrange certified translation before starting the attestation process to avoid delays.
- Request official sealed transcripts directly from your university rather than using photocopies, as Omani authorities require originals with institutional seals.
- Begin the attestation process as soon as you receive an admission offer or decide to apply, since the 10-15 business day timeline does not include home-country processing time.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation evaluates each case individually. Degrees from accredited institutions with proper attestation are generally accepted, but some online-only programmes may face additional scrutiny. GreenAttest can advise on the likelihood of acceptance based on your specific institution and programme.
Most Omani universities and the Ministry of Higher Education require both the degree certificate and the full academic transcript to be attested. Submitting only one typically results in an incomplete application. GreenAttest processes both documents as a set to ensure you have a complete submission.
