How to Get an Education Continuation Certificate in Dubai
Request a KHDA-attested certificate confirming a student is currently enrolled at a Dubai private school.
The short answer
An education continuation certificate is KHDA-attested proof that a student is currently enrolled in a Dubai private school. It is not a leaving certificate or a full history of past enrolment.
What to do
1. Confirm what the recipient needs
Ask whether the request is for current enrolment, academic history, grades or school leaving; KHDA provides separate services.
2. Check the student’s KHDA record
KHDA requires the student to be registered in its system. Ask the school to correct missing or outdated enrolment information first.
3. Apply through the official service
The student or parent/guardian can use the KHDA service with the identity and school information requested.
4. Verify the electronic certificate
Check the student name, school and current-enrolment statement before submission to an embassy, employer or other organisation.
Important: Do not use an old continuation certificate to represent a student’s current status after a school change.
