Statement of Account Translation Services

Statement of Account Translation Services

A statement of account is a critical financial document that summarizes transactions, balances, and financial activity over a specific period. In the UAE, statement of account translation services are often required when these documents are issued in a foreign language and must be submitted to banks, courts, immigration authorities, auditors, government departments, or corporate institutions.

 

Because statements of account are used to verify financial history, creditworthiness, and compliance, accuracy and consistency are essential. At CLT Translation, we provide professional statement of account translation services that ensure financial clarity, precise terminology, and acceptance by relevant authorities.

Why Statement of Account Translation Is Important

Statements of account typically include:

  • Account holder details
  • Transaction histories
  • Debit and credit entries
  • Opening and closing balances
  • Dates, references, and descriptions
 

Any translation error—such as incorrect figures, missing entries, or inconsistent terminology—can result in:

  • Bank application rejection
  • Delays in visa or immigration processing
  • Audit discrepancies
  • Legal or contractual disputes
  • Requests for re-submission

Professional translation ensures that every financial detail mirrors the original document exactly, protecting you from unnecessary complications.

When Do You Need Statement of Account Translation?

Statement of account translation is commonly required for:

  • Banking and financial services
  • Loan, mortgage, and credit applications
  • Visa and residency procedures
  • Immigration and family sponsorship
  • Court and legal proceedings
  • Audits and financial compliance
  • Embassy and consular submissions

Authorities may require statements to be translated into Arabic or English, depending on the purpose and institution.

Statements of Account as Financial & Legal Documents

Although statements of account are primarily financial documents, they are often used as supporting evidence in legal, immigration, or regulatory matters.

 

Depending on the use case:

  • General banking or audit use may require professional (non-certified) translation
  • Submission to courts, ministries, or immigration authorities may require MOJ-certified legal translation

At CLT Translation, we help clients determine the appropriate translation level before starting.
