Arabic to English Legal Translation

Communication Legal Translation Est. (CLT) provides professional and certified Arabic to English legal translation services across the UAE. Established in 1996, CLT is one of the most trusted names in legal translation, delivering accurate, compliant, and officially accepted translations for individuals, law firms, corporations, and government-related entities.

Arabic is the official legal language of the UAE, and many legal documents are originally issued in Arabic. When these documents must be submitted to foreign authorities, embassies, international courts, or overseas institutions, accurate Arabic to English legal translation is essential. Even a small mistranslation can alter legal meaning, cause document rejection, or create serious legal consequences. CLT eliminates these risks by providing translations handled exclusively by MOJ-certified legal translators.

Importance of Arabic to English Legal Translation

Arabic to English legal translation is required when Arabic legal documents must be used outside the UAE or presented to English-speaking legal or official bodies. This includes situations involving:

  • International litigation
  • Overseas business and commercial activities
  • Immigration and residency matters
  • Foreign embassies and consulates
  • International academic and professional recognition

Legal translation is not a literal process. It requires a deep understanding of UAE legal terminology, English legal standards, and the structural differences between Arabic and English legal systems. CLT ensures every translated document preserves the exact legal intent, wording, and enforceability of the original Arabic text.

Our certified Arabic to English legal translations are accepted by:

  • UAE Courts
  • Ministry of Justice
  • Government authorities
  • Foreign embassies and consulates
  • International legal and regulatory bodies

Legal translation is provided only for approved legal language pairs, in accordance with UAE regulations.

Legal vs General Arabic to English Translation

It is important to distinguish between legal and general translation:

  • Legal Translation: Certified, MOJ-approved, and legally valid for official submission.
  • General Translation: Non-certified translation used for business, informational, or personal purposes.

CLT carefully evaluates each document to determine whether legal certification is required, ensuring compliance and avoiding unnecessary delays.
