All students in GR-1 and above must submit a Transfer Certificate or School Leaving Certificate at the point of enrollment or before the student’s first day of school. Without it, the student’s start date will be delayed as this is a mandatory requirement from the Department of Education and knowledge/Abu Dhabi (ADEK). The Transfer Certificate should clearly state to which grade or year the student was promoted to at the end of the previous year or the grade/year in which the student is currently enrolled (if enrolling mid-year). The Transfer Certificate should be in English or Arabic, and must be stamped by the School and signed by the School Principal or Vice Principal, and attested.

Attestations and stamp requirements are dependent on the school location from which you are transferring. Please find your school’s location in the above table to determine the necessary stamping authority.

** All documents must be in English or Arabic, otherwise an official UAE translation is required.

** Report Cards & Transfer Certificates must be attested by the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the UAE Embassy of the issuing country except for the United Arab Emirates, Canada, the United States of America, Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
