Legal Translation Services in Dubai & UAE

Marriage Certificate Translation Dubai

Most common translation request in Dubai. An Arabic-translated marriage certificate is mandatory for spouse visa applications through GDRFA, joint bank account opening, adding a spouse to health insurance, registering a newborn at UAE hospitals (DHA requires translated marriage certificate before issuing birth certificate), school enrollment for children, property purchase in joint names, and any court or legal proceeding involving marital status.

Since December 2018, GDRFA requires all marriage certificates submitted for dependent visa applications to carry a certified Arabic translation by an MOJ licensed translator — English-only marriage certificates are no longer accepted. This rule applies regardless of the country that issued the marriage certificate.

Critical check: Name spelling on the marriage certificate must exactly match the passport. A single character difference causes GDRFA rejection. GloboPrime audits this before translation and flags discrepancies. We translate civil, court, church, religious, and nikah nama marriage certificates from 120+ countries. Combined with marriage certificate attestation as one package.

Birth Certificate Translation Dubai

Arabic translation of birth certificates is required for child dependent visa applications, ADEK and KHDA school enrollment, Emirates ID registration for children, health insurance enrollment, and hospital admission. For children born in the UAE, the birth certificate issued by the hospital must be translated for GDRFA registration and ICA applications.

For foreign-born children being sponsored into the UAE, the birth certificate must be attested in the country of origin first, then translated into Arabic by an MOJ certified translator. GloboPrime manages both attestation and translation as one chain. Birth certificates from India, Pakistan, Philippines, UK, USA, Egypt, Lebanon, and 120+ countries covered.

Divorce Certificate Translation Dubai

Arabic translation of divorce certificates is required for remarriage in the UAE (both Dubai Courts and Sharia Courts require proof of previous marriage dissolution), visa applications that ask for marital status declaration, child custody proceedings, inheritance claims, and single status verification. UAE authorities require the divorce decree nisi absolute not the initial decree to confirm the divorce is finalized.

For countries like India where divorce is a court decree, the full certified court order must be translated. For Talaq divorces from Muslim-majority countries, the specific document format varies by country and GloboPrime advises on what is accepted by UAE courts before starting translation.

Death Certificate Translation Dubai

Arabic translation of death certificates is required for inheritance proceedings at UAE courts, DIFC Wills Centre, cancellation of residency visas of deceased, property transfer following bereavement, life insurance claims in the UAE, and pension or end-of-service benefit claims.

Important: The driving license translation for RTA exchange is a specialized service. The license categories (A, B, C, D, E) must be translated using the exact RTA-accepted Arabic terminology.
