5 min read

If you need to submit a document in the UAE but it is written in another language, you may need a professional or legal translation before the document can be accepted by the relevant organization.

Amazon Attestation and Translation Services in Dubai assists individuals and businesses with document translation in English, Arabic, French, Russian, Portuguese, and other languages, depending on the document type and intended use.

Whether you are dealing with a marriage certificate, legal agreement, company document, educational certificate, or immigration paperwork, our team can help you understand the translation and related document-processing requirements.


What Is Legal Translation in Dubai?

Legal translation involves translating documents that have legal, official, contractual or administrative significance while accurately preserving their meaning and terminology.

In the UAE, simply translating a document yourself or using an automatic online translator may not be appropriate when the document is intended for an official procedure. The translation requirements depend on the document, language, receiving organization, and purpose of submission.

For certain official procedures, a translation by an appropriately authorized or recognized legal translator may be required.

Before processing, it is therefore important to confirm who will receive the document and what type of translation they require.


Arabic Legal Translation Services in Dubai

Arabic is the UAE's official language, so Arabic translation is particularly important for many legal and administrative procedures.

We assist customers who require:

English to Arabic translation, Arabic to English translation, French to Arabic translation, Russian to Arabic translation, Portuguese to Arabic translation

Requirements vary depending on where the document will ultimately be submitted, so our team can review the document and intended purpose before advising on the appropriate process.


English Translation Services

English is widely used for business, education, and international documentation in Dubai.

Customers commonly require English translations for documents originally issued in Arabic, French, Russian, Portuguese, and other languages.

Typical documents include educational certificates, company documents, contracts, personal certificates, and supporting documents for international procedures.


French Translation Services in Dubai

We assist individuals and businesses requiring French document translation in Dubai, including French-to-English and French-to-Arabic translation support.

Common documents include:

  • Birth and marriage certificates

  • Educational certificates

  • Commercial documents

  • Employment documents

  • Contracts and agreements

  • Powers of Attorney

  • Immigration-related documents

  • Supporting legal documentation

If a French-issued document will subsequently undergo attestation or legalization, the correct sequence should be checked before translation begins.


Russian Translation Services in Dubai

Russian-speaking residents, investors, and businesses in the UAE may need documents translated into Arabic or English for different procedures.

Amazon Attestation can assist with Russian-to-Arabic and Russian-to-English document translation, subject to the document and intended use.

We regularly assist with personal certificates, education documents, company paperwork, contracts, and immigration-related documentation.


Portuguese Translation Services in Dubai

Portuguese documents may originate from Portugal, Brazil, or other Portuguese-speaking jurisdictions.

We can assist with Portuguese-to-Arabic and Portuguese-to-English translation for eligible personal, educational, commercial and legal documents.

The country of issue matters because translation, legalization, and attestation procedures can differ according to where the original document was issued.


Documents We Can Assist With

Amazon Attestation and Translation Services can assist with translation requirements for many types of documents, including:

  • Birth certificates

  • Marriage certificates

  • Divorce documents

  • Degree and diploma certificates

  • School and educational certificates

  • Police clearance certificates

  • Experience and employment certificates

  • Employment contracts

  • Commercial contracts and agreements

  • Powers of Attorney

  • Memorandum and Articles of Association

  • Company resolutions

  • Incorporation and corporate documents

  • Commercial certificates

  • Immigration and visa-related documents

  • Legal correspondence

  • Supporting court and notary documents

Document acceptance requirements should always be confirmed according to the receiving organization.


Legal Translation for UAE Visa and Immigration Documents

Translation may also be required as part of certain UAE residence or immigration procedures.

For example, an applicant may have a marriage certificate, birth certificate, educational qualification, or other supporting document issued outside the UAE in a language other than Arabic or English.

However, translation and attestation are different processes.

Attestation or legalization deals with the authentication of a document for its intended use, while translation converts its content from one language to another. Depending on the procedure, a document may require one or both.

Our team can review the document and help explain the appropriate sequence.


Translation for Business and Corporate Documents

Companies operating in Dubai often work with documents originating from several jurisdictions and languages.

We assist businesses with translation coordination for documents such as commercial agreements, company certificates, shareholder resolutions, Powers of Attorney, incorporation documents, and other corporate records.

This can be particularly useful for companies dealing with international shareholders, overseas parent companies, foreign business partners or cross-border documentation.


Translation, Attestation and Document Processing in One Place

One common difficulty is determining what needs to happen before and after translation.

A document may require translation, notarization, apostille, embassy or consular legalization, UAE MOFA attestation, or another procedure depending on its origin and intended use.

Amazon Attestation provides document-processing assistance alongside translation services, helping customers avoid unnecessary processing caused by following the wrong sequence.
