Legal Translation (Certified)

How this service works

A translation that is not certified by a Ministry of Justice accredited translator is routinely refused by UAE courts, notaries, and government departments, regardless of its accuracy. The certification itself, not just the wording, is what makes a document usable in an official process.

Every certified translation we produce goes through an MOJ accredited translator, is checked against the original for terminology accuracy, and is formatted to match what the receiving authority expects to see, whether that is a court, a notary, or an embassy.

This service is used most by individuals filing court documents, companies submitting bilingual contracts to a government department, and anyone whose foreign-language certificate needs to be recognised by a UAE authority.

How the file moves

  • We confirm the objective, list the documents required and quote government and service fees in writing.
  • Your consultant prepares, types and submits the file, then follows it through each approval stage.
  • You receive the outcome document, a copy for your records and a reminder before any renewal falls due.
