## About this service

## Legal Translation Requirements in Dubai, UAE

If you are submitting foreign-issued, non-Arabic documents to UAE authorities, such as Dubai Courts, the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), notaries, or immigration services, you will need a certified legal translation into Arabic.

Likewise, if you are planning to use a UAE-issued document abroad, most foreign authorities will also require it to be legally translated into the target language.

Certified legal translation in the UAE must be completed by a translator licensed and authorised by the [UAE Ministry of Justice](https://www.moj.gov.ae/en/home.aspx). This involves translating the document into Arabic (or from Arabic into another language, if for use abroad), and affixing the translator’s official stamp and signature to certify its accuracy.

In Dubai, specific authorities may impose additional requirements:

- **Dubai Courts** require legal translations to be submitted by MOJ-approved translators for use in legal proceedings.
- **The Ministry of Justice (MOJ)** mandates that all legal translators operating in the UAE be licensed under [Cabinet Resolution No. 7 of 2014](https://www.ilo.org/dyn/natlex/natlex4.detail?p_isn=98632&p_lang=en).
- **Public notaries** may request legal translations when notarising non-Arabic documents or witnessing declarations.
- **Immigration authorities**require all supporting documents to be in Arabic and translations completed by a certified translator.

At Translayte, we work exclusively with translators who are licensed by the UAE Ministry of Justice and approved to provide certified legal translations in Dubai, UAE. If you need to translate your birth certificate for UAE immigration or a commercial licence for use abroad, we ensure your documents meet the exact legal requirements for acceptance.

### Documents Issued Abroad For Use in Dubai, UAE

Documents issued outside of the UAE will need to go through the following processes to be acceptable and used within the UAE:

1. **Apostille / Legalisation:** the document will require an Apostille (for countries that are party to The Hague Convention) or Attestation from the issuing government or authority. To obtain an Apostille, you may first need to have it[notarised by a Notary Public](https://translayte.com/blog/notarized-translations).
1. **UAE Embassy Attestation:** Submit the document, with its Apostille, to the UAE Embassy in that country to obtain an[embassy attestation](https://www.mofaic.gov.ae/en/Services/attestation).
1. **MOFA Attestation:** The document, containing the UAE embassy attestation, can then be presented to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the UAE for an attestation.
1. **Legal Translation:** For non-Arabic documents that have been attested, you will require a legal translation into Arabic by a Ministry of Justice approved translator.
1. **MOJ Certification:** To validate the legal translation, the translator will have their signature attested by the Ministry of Justice.

Translayte works with Notaries Public in several countries and can assist in organising all of the above steps for documents issued in the[UK](https://translayte.com/blog/how-to-get-an-apostille-uk),[Germany](https://translayte.com/blog/germany-apostille),[France](https://translayte.com/blog/france-apostille),[Spain](https://translayte.com/blog/spain-apostille), the USA, Canada, the Netherlands, and Australia.

### Documents Issued in Dubai, UAE, For Use Abroad

Documents issued in the UAE, such as[birth](https://translayte.com/documents/birth-certificate) or[marriage certificates](https://translayte.com/documents/marriage-certificate), power of attorneys, or other legal contracts, can be certified/attested in the UAE before being used abroad.

1. **MOFA Attestation:**The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for attesting all UAE-issued documents, including personal and business certificates, and legal documents. You may first need to visit a Notary Public and the Ministry of Justice before the document can be attested.
1. [**Certified Translation**](https://translayte.com/certified-translations)**:** once the document has been attested by MOFA, you may then have it translated into the language of the target country, using locally acceptable certified translations.

Translayte can help produce certified and sworn translations acceptable in 26 countries (including the[UK](https://translayte.com/certified-translations/uk),[USA](https://translayte.com/certified-translations/uscis),[France](https://translayte.com/certified-translations/france),[Germany](https://translayte.com/certified-translations/germany),[Canada](https://translayte.com/certified-translations/canada), and[Australia](https://translayte.com/certified-translations/naati-translator)), and legalised translations acceptable in all countries party to The Hague Convention.
