Certified Translation in Dubai: The Ultimate Guide by Jusor

In the bustling hub of international business and migration that is the United Arab Emirates, certified translation in Dubai is more than a luxury—it’s a legal requirement. Whether you're submitting documents for visa processing, legal cases, or corporate use, accurate translation by an authorized provider is crucial. At Jusor, we ensure your translations are not only linguistically precise but also fully compliant with UAE laws and regulations.

What Is Certified Translation?

Definition and Importance

Certified translation refers to the process of translating documents while also providing a signed statement from a professional translator or agency affirming that the translation is accurate and complete. This certification is often mandatory when dealing with official or legal entities, both locally and internationally.

Legal Requirements for Certified Translation

In Dubai and across the UAE, only translation offices licensed by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) are allowed to provide certified translations. These documents must bear an official stamp and signature that confirms their authenticity.

Why Certified Translation in Dubai Is Essential

For Immigration and Visa Purposes

Applying for residency, work permits, or visas in the UAE? Government bodies like GDRFA require foreign documents to be translated and certified for your application to be accepted.

For Legal and Government Documentation

Whether you're filing for divorce, buying property, or attending court, certified translation ensures your documents are recognized as legitimate by legal authorities.

For Business and Corporate Transactions

Companies expanding into Dubai or signing agreements with local firms need certified translations of business contracts, financial statements, and more to avoid misunderstandings or legal complications.

Understanding the UAE’s Translation Standards

MOJ Accreditation

Certified translation in the UAE is governed strictly by the Ministry of Justice. Only licensed translators with official accreditation can provide translations for legal use.

Legalization vs. Certification

While certification proves accuracy, legalization (or attestation) is an additional step often required for international documents. Jusor  also assists with legalization through MOFA and embassies.

• Birth and marriage certificates
• Diplomas and transcripts
• Death certificates

Legal Documents

• Court judgments

• Affidavits and power of attorney

Business Papers
