Facts from the official u.ae portal ('Education', attestation and equivalency of degrees). Attestation runs as a chain in the issuing country and is completed in the UAE via MOFA; equivalency recognition is issued by the Ministry of Education. Fees depend on the document type and country and change — verify on u.ae and mofa.gov.ae. We don't invent numbers.
