UAE introduces new service to verify academic degrees of private sector employees
A new digital project launched in the UAE will help verify the academic qualifications of private sector workers, authorities announced on Monday. The service applies to private sector employers and workers with academic degrees issued outside the UAE, covering skill levels 1 to 4.
The service will be extended to include degrees issued within the UAE at a later stage. Users can access it via the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation's (MoHRE) website, smart application, and business service centres across the country.
In a statement, the MoHRE said, "The 'Academic Qualification Verification Project' offers a range of benefits to government entities and the private sector, ensuring the accuracy and authenticity of academic qualifications used in the employment process through direct digital verification. This allows for more reliable hiring practices, reduces required paperwork, and streamlines the service into a unified verification process with a one-time fee."
