A rejected translation is not only a waste of time but also means missing an appointment or a visa application date, which could be hard for you to attend. If you are applying for a visa, registering your kid at a school, or making submissions to Dubai authorities, a precise and certified personal document translation may be your only obstacle in getting the permission.

Alsun deals with this process on a daily basis for all of Dubai’s residents and newcomers and delivers them in less than 12 hours.

What Is Personal Document Translation?

Personal document translation is a process where personal documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, identification cards, and diplomas among others, are translated from one language to another. This usually involves translating such documents from Arabic to English or vice versa.

Translation of personal documents differs from business or technical translation in that it requires extreme accuracy when it comes to small details. Inaccuracies such as spelling mistakes or even incorrect dates might cause rejection of such documents in the UAE’s official authorities.

When Do You Need Personal Document Translation in Dubai?

Where a government entity of the UAE is involved, the chances are high that they will ask for an Arabic translation of your foreign documents, and vice versa if you plan on relocating to another country. Individual clients most likely require document translation services in Dubai in any of the following cases:

  • Application submission for a resident visa, family visa, or Golden Visa
  • Recording marriage or divorce proceedings in court
  • Enrollment of children in schools/universities of UAE
  • Getting a UAE driving license
  • Filing of documents with Dubai Courts, DHA, and GDRFA
  • Processing of inheritance or power of attorney cases
  • Application for employment that needs academic attestation

Who Needs Personal Document Translation in the UAE?

Does Your Personal Document Need Certified or Notarized Translation?

Every document does not require the same level of authentication, and a mistake in this can result in a huge waste of time and money.  Let’s make a quick comparison between certified translation and notarized translation for personal documents.

Certified Translation

Notarized Translation
It is accompanied by an accuracy statement from the translator, guaranteeing the accuracy of the translation, and is enough to meet the requirements for most administrative uses.

It is more advanced than a certified one and involves notary certification and is needed mostly in high-level transactions such as in courts or embassies.

If you want us to translate your personal documents, let us know where they are intended to be used. It is very important for handling your documents properly to meet the official requirements.

Personal Document Translation by Nationality in Dubai

We at Alsun have experience with the specific requirements of every nationality, so you don’t have to figure out the sequence yourself.
