What That Means for Your Next Translation. 4 min read The physical stamp and signature have been the mark of a certified translation in the UAE for decades. A translator's rubber stamp, wet ink signature, and license number on the page. That's changing. The MOJ is moving toward digital verification — and it affects how you get, send, and use translated documents. ## What's changing The UAE Ministry of Justice is part of the broader government digitisation push. For translation, this means: - Digital verification codes. Translations carry a QR code or reference number that can be checked through the MOJ portal. Anyone receiving the translation can verify it's genuine without calling the MOJ hotline. - Electronic timestamps. Digital certification includes the exact date and time of certification — harder to backdate than a physical stamp. - Online submission. Translators can submit and certify translations through the MOJ digital platform rather than physically stamping paper. - Fraud reduction. Digital verification makes it much harder to forge MOJ stamps — a problem that has affected the industry. ## What hasn't changed The fundamentals remain the same: - Only MOJ-licensed translators can certify translations for government use - The translator's name, license number, and certification appear on every translation - You can still verify any translation by calling the MOJ Hotline (800 333333) - Physical stamps remain accepted alongside digital verification ## What this means for you Faster delivery. Digital certification means your translated document can be certified and delivered electronically. No need to pick up a physical copy unless the receiving entity specifically requires one. Easier verification. If a bank or government counter questions your translation, they can scan the QR code and verify it instantly instead of calling the MOJ hotline. Same quality requirement. Digital doesn't mean automated. A human translator still reads your document, translates it, and certifies it. The digital part is the verification infrastructure, not the translation process. Whether you need a digitally verified or physically stamped translation, send your document on WhatsApp — [+971 50 862 0217](https://wa.me/971508620217). MOJ-certified (License #701) in whatever format the receiving entity requires. ## Common questions ### Is MOJ translation going fully digital? Progressively. Digital verification is being introduced alongside physical stamps. The transition is gradual — physical stamps remain accepted by most entities. ### Will digital translations be accepted everywhere? Acceptance is expanding. Courts and MOHRE increasingly accept digital verification. Some counters still request physical stamps. Having both is safest during the transition. ### How do I verify a digital translation? Scan the QR code or enter the verification number on the MOJ portal. It confirms the translator's license, document details, and certification date. ### Need a certified translation? MOJ-certified (License #701). Digital or physical format — whatever the receiving entity accepts.
