The New Era of Document Verification: The Revised Mosadaqa Attestation requirements
What is Mosadaqa Attestation?
Mosadaqa attestation is the updated and official system introduced to replace the previous Saudi Culture Attestation process. This new electronic verification method is specifically designed to validate educational documents such as degrees and transcripts for individuals seeking employment, residency, or further education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Unlike the earlier manual processes, Mosadaqa attestation is fully digital and ensures enhanced security, faster verification, and long-term usability of attested documents.
Important Rule for Mosadaqa Attestation
If you are applying for Mosadaqa attestation for your Master’s degree, it is mandatory to first get your Bachelor’s degree attested through the same process. Once your lower-level degree is authenticated, the system will allow your Master’s degree to be processed for attestation.
Key Features of Mosadaqa Attestation
Mosadaqa attestation brings many benefits, including:
- Streamlined and automated certificate verification.
- Seamless integration with relevant Saudi and international authorities.
- Faster processing time for attestation requests.
- Accepted in over 50 countries.
- Lifetime validity for verified documents within Saudi Arabia.
- Advanced digital notice instead of physical stamps or signatures.
Unlike traditional methods, Mosadaqa attestation does not include a manual stamp or signature; instead, it generates a computer-based verification certificate, ensuring authenticity and reducing fraud.
Requirements for Mosadaqa Attestation
To apply for Mosadaqa attestation, you must provide the following:
- Original Degree should be attested by HEC (Higher Education Commission) and MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs)
- Original Transcript – attested not required
- Degree Verification university Fee Slip (Copy)
- CNIC or National ID Card (Colour Copy)
- Passport (Colour Copy)
- Marriage Certificate (Copy) – for married women only
Note: Married women often face objections due to name differences on documents. Submitting a marriage certificate helps resolve such issues.
Ensure that the name on all documents (degree, CNIC, passport, agreement letter) matches exactly to avoid rejection.
Why is Mosadaqa Attestation Necessary?
Mosadaqa attestation is essential because the Saudi Embassy will not process your educational documents unless they have been authenticated through this platform first. This attestation confirms the legitimacy of your qualifications and is a compulsory step before embassy attestation.
Whether you are applying for a job, a work visa, or an academic program in Saudi Arabia, Mosadaqa attestation is the first and most critical step in the documentation process.
