UAE universities have decided to deal a decisive blow to counterfeit documents, as a result of which it was decided to equip diplomas and certificates with RFID tags so that they can be identified and distinguished from counterfeits in the future, reports Gulf News.

More than 30 educational institutions in the UAE, including the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, have begun cooperation with Amricon to implement the "SMART Document Attestation Solution"" system.

Thanks to RFID-technology, certificates and diplomas can be read and identified without directly contacting the relevant university. Information is also transmitted directly from the certificate to the systems of the Ministry of Education without the need for manual data entry.

The new automated process not only speeds up operations, but also saves time and reduces the number of paper transactions.
