Certified Medical Translation in UAE for DHA, DOH & MOH Approved Documents
Medical documents in the UAE are governed by strict regulatory standards. Whether you are a patient seeking treatment, a caregiver submitting records, or a healthcare professional applying for a DHA or DOH license, every non-Arabic medical document must be certified translated before the UAE authorities will process it.
Who Needs Certified Medical Translation in the UAE?
Medical translation in the UAE serves two distinct groups, and each has different requirements.
Patients & Individuals require certified translations of medical reports, lab results, prescriptions, discharge summaries, and surgical histories when presenting to UAE hospitals, applying for a health visa, or filing an insurance claim.
Healthcare Professionals face stricter requirements. As of 2026, the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), Department of Health Abu Dhabi (DOH), and Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) require applicants to submit certified Arabic translations of medical degrees, experience certificates, and Good Standing Certificates as part of the Sheryan and TAMM portal applications — ahead of DataFlow Primary Source Verification.
Why Accuracy Is Non-Negotiable in Translation?
Even a single mistranslated date, dosage, or job title in a medical document can trigger rejection from health regulators, delay licensing, or, in clinical settings, affect patient safety. UAE health authorities do not accept translations produced by uncertified or unlicensed translators.
All certified medical translations must be completed by a Ministry of Justice (MOJ)-approved legal translator and carry an official stamp and signature to be valid for submission to DHA, DOH, and MOHAP.
Working with an MOJ-certified office ensures your medical documents are processed accurately and accepted the first time.
Common Medical Documents that Requires Translation
- Patient records, discharge summaries, and medical histories.
- Diagnostic reports, lab results, radiology findings, and prescriptions
- Medical degrees, specialty certificates, good standing letters, experience certificates, and internship proofs for healthcare licensing.
- Insurance claims, medico-legal reports, and fitness certificates for visas or residency
- Clinical trial consent forms, drug leaflets, and device instructions for regulatory approval.
Process of Medical Document Translation
- Always choose a MOJ (Ministry of Justice) approved translator with medical expertise to handle terminology precisely, to ensure the documents can be used without any complications or rejection.
- Translate the documents into Arabic, then review the documents for accuracy.
- Notarize or certify the documents with the MOJ stamp/signature for legal validity.
- Submit the documents to relevant bodies like the DHA portal for licensing, or GDRFA for immigration.
