What Affects Turnaround?
- Document Length — A 1-page certificate is faster than a 50-page contract. Longer documents require more translation and review time.
- Technical Complexity — Legal contracts, medical reports, and technical manuals require specialized vocabulary and additional review.
- Formatting Requirements — Documents requiring exact layout matching (like certificates) take longer than plain text translations.
- Time of Submission — Morning submissions complete faster. After 3 PM, expect next-day delivery for standard service.
- Current Workload — Peak periods (visa deadlines, school enrollment) may extend timelines. Contact us for current availability.
- Stamping Requirements — MOJ physical stamping adds 1-3 hours. PDF delivery is immediate; hard copies follow.

FAQ
الأسئلة الشائعة
أسئلة شائعة حول خدمات الترجمة لدينا.
Can you do same-day translation?
Yes. Most standard documents (birth certificates, marriage certificates, degrees, police clearances, contracts under 5 pages) can be completed same-day if submitted before 12 PM. We provide the digital PDF first, with hard copies available for collection or delivery the same evening or next morning.
What's the rush fee?
Rush fees vary by document type and urgency. For same-day service on standard documents, expect a 25-50% premium. For urgent requests needed within 2-3 hours, fees may be higher. Contact us via WhatsApp with your specific deadline for an exact quote.
Do weekends affect turnaround?
We process translations daily from 8 AM to 10 PM. However, MOJ stamping is only available during government working hours (Sunday-Thursday). If you need physical MOJ stamps, factor in that weekend submissions will be stamped on the next working day.
What if I need it in 2 hours?
Ultra-urgent requests are possible for simple documents like certificates or short contracts. Contact us immediately via WhatsApp with the document. We will assess feasibility and quote accordingly. Complex or lengthy documents cannot be rushed to this extent without risking quality.
Does MOJ stamping add time?
MOJ stamping adds 1-3 hours for in-person submission, or next-day if submitted late in the day. During peak periods, it may take slightly longer. We coordinate the stamping process and can provide the unstamped PDF immediately while the physical stamp is being obtained.
How do I submit urgent requests?
WhatsApp is fastest for urgent requests. Send your document with a clear note of your deadline. We prioritize based on urgency and provide immediate confirmation of whether we can meet your timeline.
What's the cutoff for same-day?
For guaranteed same-day completion, submit by 12 PM (noon). Documents submitted between 12 PM and 3 PM may still complete same-day depending on our workload. Submissions after 3 PM are typically delivered next morning.
Do you work on UAE public holidays?
We accept submissions on public holidays and process what we can digitally. MOJ stamping is not available on public holidays. For holiday deadlines, contact us in advance so we can plan around the closure.
