Transfer certificate and contract signing with KHDA
Before a child can be accepted by any school in Dubai, a Transfer Certificate (TC) must be provided by their previous school. This is a UAE Ministry of Education requirement and it is the responsibility of the parents to deliver this TC to the receiving school. Please know that the Transfer Certificate is required by all who are arriving from outside Dubai and UAE.
Notes
- All Transfer Certificates must be written in English and the Transfer Certificate must contain the information as noted. This has to be on original school letterhead, signed and stamped by the Head/Principal.
- The transfer certificate should be dated ONLY after the last day of attendance of the student.
- It is the sole responsibility of the parents to provide the original attested transfer certificate to NAS DUBAI.
- The original Transfer Certificate must be submitted to the School Admissions Office at the time of enrolment.
Attestation of Transfer Certificates (TC) : In order for your child to be registered with the UAE’s Ministry of Education, the Transfer Certificate must be properly signed, stamped and attested as necessary.
