What UAE Courts Require
The UAE government states that documents presented to UAE courts must be in Arabic, and that foreign-language documents must be translated by a legal translator approved by the Ministry of Justice. Our translations are prepared by Ministry of Justice-approved legal translators. Read more about our sworn translator service.
Foreign Judgments and Documents From Abroad
For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the UAE, the UAE government says the original judgment should be attested by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A certified Arabic translation is then prepared for the court. Documents issued abroad usually need the attestation chain first and translation second, so send us the originals before you translate anything.
Confirm the Format Before You File
Courts, centres and police departments can set their own requirements for format, stamping and attachments, and these can change. We check with the authority where possible. If you also need an interpreter for a hearing or meeting, see our legal interpretation services.
Last reviewed: 25 October 2026. Requirements change, so we verify them with the relevant authority before you submit anything.

A legal translator approved by the Ministry of Justice. Dunes works with approved legal translators and certifies the translation. See Legal Translation Services in Dubai.
Can WhatsApp chats and emails be translated for court or the police?
Yes. Send the chat export, emails or screenshots and we translate them completely and certify the translation. The court or authority decides whether and how the evidence is used, so tell us who will receive it.

Does a translation for court need attestation?
It depends on the court or authority and where the original came from. Documents issued abroad usually need the attestation chain before translation. We confirm what applies to your file. See translation and attestation.

Yes. We translate judgments and orders into English and other languages for use abroad, and can arrange attestation afterwards where the receiving authority requires it.

It depends on the length, the language pair and the subject. Tell us your deadline when you send the documents and we confirm timing with the quote.

The cost depends on the number of pages, language pair, subject and urgency. We send a written quote before we start.
