Affidavit Legal Translation Services

MOJ-Certified Affidavit Translation for UAE Legal & Official Use

Affidavits are legally binding sworn statements used across courts, notary offices, immigration departments, embassies, and government authorities in the UAE. Because affidavits are executed under oath and often submitted as evidence, their translation must be accurate, complete, and officially certified. Any error, omission, or informal translation can lead to rejection, delays, or legal consequences.

At CLT Translation, we provide MOJ-certified Affidavit Legal Translation Services that are legally valid and officially accepted by UAE courts, notary publics, immigration authorities, embassies, and government departments. Our translations are completed by certified human legal translators with deep expertise in UAE legal terminology and affidavit formats, ensuring clarity, neutrality, and first-time acceptance.

What Is an Affidavit?

An affidavit is a written statement of facts voluntarily made under oath or affirmation before a notary public, commissioner of oaths, or authorized official. Affidavits are commonly used to declare facts related to identity, family status, finances, residence, or events.

In the UAE, affidavits are required for many procedures, and when issued in a foreign language, they must be translated into Arabic (the official legal language) or English (where applicable) by a Ministry of Justice MOJ certified translation company to be accepted.

Common Types of Affidavits We Translate

CLT Translation provides certified translation for a wide range of affidavits, including:

  • Affidavit of identity
  • Affidavit of address or residence
  • Affidavit of marital status
  • Affidavit of single status / bachelorhood
  • Affidavit of name change
  • Affidavit of relationship

When Is Affidavit Translation Required in the UAE?

Affidavit legal translation is commonly required for:

  • Court cases and legal proceedings
  • Immigration and residency applications
  • Embassy and consulate submissions
  • Notary public and attestation processes
  • Marriage, divorce, or family-related procedures
  • Banking, insurance, and compliance matters
  • Government and administrative filings

If an affidavit is not in Arabic or English (as required), UAE authorities typically mandate MOJ-certified translation.

Why Certified Translation Is Mandatory for Affidavits

Affidavits carry legal responsibility and evidentiary weight. Certified translation is mandatory because:

  • Statements must be accurate and unambiguous
  • Legal accountability of the translator is required
  • Sworn declarations must retain exact meaning and intent
  • MOJ-approved formatting and certification are mandatory
  • Any inconsistency can invalidate the affidavit

Using non-certified or machine translations can result in rejection, resubmission, or legal challenges.
