Hi all

I am a graduate of the American University of Sharjah, I need to get my degree certified in order to apply for a labor card. My question is: Is there anywhere I could get this procedure done in Sharjah or Dubai? Upon checking the Ministry of Higher Education Website (is it just me, or do they never answer the phone?) I found out that the office is located in Abu Dhabi, while is quite a journey for me. Also, does anyone know how long does it usually take?

Your input is much appreciated!

AUS should know where to get it certified?

Usually you need to get certificates authenticated by the issuing institution, then the education authority (MOE in Sharjah?), then the country's embassy and/or foreign ministry or similar (which shouldn't apply for a UAE labour card since you have a UAE qualification)
