If you’re asking “how to get certified legal translation in Dubai”, this guide explains the steps, requirements, and best practices in plain language. Follow these simple steps to get MOJ-approved translations that government offices, courts, and employers will accept.
Certified legal translation is a translation of official documents that includes a signed statement from a qualified translator. In Dubai, many official bodies require translations to be certified and, in some cases, endorsed by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ). In short, certified translations make your documents legally valid.

Prepare your original documents
First, gather clear scans or originals of your documents — passports, degrees, certificates, contracts, or medical papers.
Choose a certified translator or agency
Next, pick a translator or agency approved by UAE authorities. Also, check their MOJ credentials and client reviews to ensure reliability.
Request a quote and submit files
Then, upload or deliver your documents and get a transparent quote. Make sure the service includes proofreading and formatting.
Translation & proofreading
Your translator will translate the text and double-check accuracy. They will also match important details like names, dates, stamps, and signatures.
Certification & MOJ approval (if required)
If MOJ stamping is needed, the translator or agency will arrange the official certification. Finally, you pay the fees and receive the MOJ-approved document.
Delivery
You receive the certified translation by email or courier. Now you can use it for visas, court, or official submissions.
