CERTIFIED TRANSLATION

MOJ-Certified Translation Services in the UAE by CLT Translation

Certified translation plays a critical role in legal, immigration, and official procedures in the UAE. Any document submitted to courts, government authorities, embassies, banks, or immigration departments must meet strict accuracy and compliance standards. At CLT Translation, we provide MOJ certified translation services that are legally valid, professionally prepared, and officially accepted across the UAE.

 

Unlike general or informal translation, certified translation carries legal accountability. It confirms that the translated document is a true and accurate representation of the original, completed by a Ministry of Justice (MOJ)-certified translation company. Choosing the wrong type of translation can result in document rejection, processing delays, or legal complications. This is why certified translation is essential for official use in the UAE.

What Is Certified Translation?

A certified translation is an officially recognized translation issued by a licensed translation company approved by the UAE Ministry of Justice. It includes:

  • A translator’s declaration of accuracy
  • An official company stamp and seal
  • MOJ-approved legal formatting
  • Full translation of all content, including stamps, seals, notes, and handwritten text

Certified translations are legally valid and accepted by UAE courts, immigration authorities, embassies, government entities, banks, and universities.

When Is Certified Translation Required in the UAE?

Certified translation is mandatory when documents are used for:

  • UAE residence, employment, and family visa applications
  • Court cases and legal proceedings
  • Immigration and nationality processes
  • Company incorporation and commercial registration
  • Embassy and consulate submissions
  • Banking, compliance, and financial procedures
  • Academic admissions and professional licensing

Any document issued in a foreign language must be translated into Arabic or English (as required) through a MOJ-certified translation provider.

Documents Commonly Requiring Certified Translation

At CLT Translation, we handle certified translation for a wide range of documents, including:

  • Birth, marriage, and divorce certificates
  • Passports, Emirates IDs, and national IDs
  • Court judgments, legal notices, and pleadings
  • Power of Attorney (POA) documents
  • Contracts and agreements
  • Bank statements and financial records
  • Academic transcripts and diplomas
  • Police clearance certificates
  • Commercial licenses and company documents

Each document is translated with absolute precision, ensuring legal acceptance.

Why Certified Translation Matters

Certified translation is not just about language—it is about legal responsibility and compliance. UAE authorities require certified translations because:

  • Legal accuracy must be guaranteed
  • The translator and company are legally accountable
  • Official formatting and terminology must be followed
  • Errors can lead to serious legal consequences

Even a small mistake in names, dates, or terminology can cause visa delays, court rejection, or business registration issues. Certified translation minimizes these risks.

Certified vs. Non-Certified Translation

Many people confuse certified translation with regular translation. The difference is significant:

Certified Translation

  • Legally valid
  • MOJ-approved
  • Accepted by authorities
  • Includes stamp and declaration

Non-Certified Translation

  • Informational use only
  • No legal validity
  • Not accepted for official submission

For any official purpose in the UAE, certified translation is mandatory.
