Birth Certificate Translation & Attestation in Dubai: Your Guide to CLT Translation Company

A birth certificate is one of the most important personal documents required for immigration, residency, family sponsorship, school admissions, and legal procedures in the UAE. When issued in a foreign language, it must often be translated into Arabic and properly attested before submission to Dubai authorities.

At CLT Translation Company, we provide reliable and compliant Birth Certificate Translation & Attestation Services in Dubai, helping families complete legal procedures smoothly and efficiently.

Why Birth Certificate Translation Is Required in Dubai

Arabic is the official language of the UAE. Therefore, foreign-language birth certificates submitted to:

• Embassies

must be translated into Arabic by an authorized translator.

Failure to provide certified translation may result in delays or rejection.
