UAE Higher Education Reports Forged Qualifications
The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in the UAE has confirmed that it is making ongoing efforts to ensure the authenticity and integrity of academic diplomas and qualifications issued by higher education institutions. This is achieved through a comprehensive monitoring system that oversees and investigates the data. Attempts at forgery have been addressed, resulting in legal judgments against the accused, including prison sentences of up to three years and fines reaching 30,000 dirhams. The ministry also emphasizes that the digital verification system issued 178,600 requests in 2025 and increased to 253,000 by September 2026. Although cases of forgery are rare and limited, the ministry places great importance on enhancing the reliability of qualifications and protecting the labor market and society from counterfeit certificates.
