Certified vs. Standard Translation — Which Does Your ID Need?

Hearing a lot of these two terms, “certified translation” and “standard translation”, and not jnowing the difference between or when you could use them. Here is the difference between them:

Certified Translation It is handled by a legal translator approved by the MOJ, sealed and signed, and recognized by UAE courts, the immigration department, and other government agencies.

Standard Translation It is handled by a general translator, suitable for informal use, such as for reference purposes only. It is not recognized for submission to official bodies.

If you’re submitting your national ID to any UAE government authority, bank, or court, then you will require certified translation. Alsun provides certified translation for all ID cards.
