Sworn Translator Services in Dubai

The UAE does not use the title “sworn translator” in the way Spain, Germany or France do. In Dubai, the equivalent is a legal translator accredited by the Ministry of Justice. Dunes works with MOJ-licensed legal translators for official and legal documents.

Not always. Authorities such as MOFA and the courts generally expect a translation by an MOJ-licensed legal translator, and a generic “certified” translation may not be accepted. Confirm the requirement with the receiving authority, and read our guide on legal translation vs certified translation.

Often when a document is going to a court, a government department or MOFA attestation. Requirements vary by authority, so check what yours needs. Our guide explains when you need a sworn legal translator for MOFA-bound documents.

Certificates such as birth, marriage, divorce and death certificates, educational documents, contracts and commercial documents, and court and legal documents such as powers of attorney and affidavits. Send us your document and we will confirm.

Yes. We translate between Arabic and English in both directions, and support document translation in over 150 languages. Tell us your language pair and we will confirm the right translator.

Ask the translator or agency directly whether they are licensed by the Ministry of Justice, and confirm the completed translation carries the translator’s stamp and licence details. The MOJ describes its legal translator registration on its website.

Yes. We coordinate translation with attestation so the steps happen in the right order. See our MOFA attestation services.

There is no single standard rate. The price depends on the document type, length, language pair and how urgently you need it. Contact Dunes with your document for a written quote.
