MOJ-Certified Death Certificate Translation for UAE & International Use

Death certificate translation is a sensitive and legally critical service required for many official procedures in the UAE. Whether the document is needed for inheritance matters, family visa cancellation, insurance claims, bank procedures, court cases, or embassy submissions, accuracy and legal compliance are essential.

At CLT Translation, we provide MOJ-certified Death Certificate Translation Services that are legally valid and officially accepted by UAE courts, immigration authorities, banks, insurance companies, embassies, MOFA, and government departments. Our translations are handled with utmost care, confidentiality, and precision, ensuring smooth processing during difficult times.

What Is a Death Certificate?

A death certificate is an official civil document issued by a government authority confirming the date, place, and cause of death, along with personal details of the deceased. In the UAE, death certificates are commonly required for:

  • Inheritance and succession cases
  • Court and legal proceedings
  • Insurance and compensation claims
  • Bank account closure and asset release
  • Family visa cancellation
  • Embassy and consulate procedures
  • Repatriation and international documentation
  • Pension and social benefit claims

If the death certificate is issued in a language other than Arabic or English, UAE authorities require a certified legal translation by a Ministry of Justice (MOJ)-approved translation company.

Why Certified Death Certificate Translation Is Mandatory in the UAE

UAE authorities apply strict verification standards for civil status documents. Certified translation is required because:

  • Personal details must match exactly
  • Dates, locations, and official terms must be precise
  • Legal accountability of the translator is mandatory
  • Official formatting and MOJ compliance are required

Even a minor error in names, dates, or legal terminology can result in rejection, legal delays, or repeated submissions. Certified translation ensures acceptance and legal validity.
