Corporate Translation Specialist Coverage
Corporate legal documents require a translator who understands UAE company law, free zone regulations, and banking compliance requirements. Our corporate translation covers the full range of business documents that companies submit to government entities, banks, and regulatory authorities.
We regularly translate memoranda of association, shareholder agreements, share transfer documents, and board resolutions. Company formation packages for DMCC, DIFC, DAFZA, and JAFZA typically involve a set of related documents that must use consistent terminology throughout. We maintain terminology records so every document in a corporate filing set uses identical legal terms.
Trade license translations are among the most requested corporate documents. Banks require MOJ-certified trade license translations for account opening, loan applications, and KYC compliance. We translate licenses from DED and every free zone authority in the UAE. Each translation includes the full license details, activity codes, and shareholder information.
Court Document Translation
Court document translation covers all levels of the UAE justice system. We translate for Court of First Instance, Court of Appeal, Court of Cassation, and the Federal Supreme Court. Each court level has its own formatting conventions, and we prepare translations to match the filing requirements of the target court.
Dubai Courts operate under UAE federal law in Arabic. DIFC Courts operate under common law in English. ADGM Courts in Abu Dhabi also follow common law. When documents move between these systems — for enforcement, recognition, or appeal — the translation must preserve the legal intent and structure of the original. We handle all cross-system document translations with MOJ certification.
Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) accepts our MOJ-certified translations directly. This covers civil claims, commercial disputes, family court matters, and criminal case documents filed in Abu Dhabi.
Rejection Shield: Free Document Review
Document rejection at the submission counter wastes time and money. The most common causes are incomplete translation, missing certification elements, wrong formatting, or terminology that does not match what the receiving authority expects.
We review every document before translation begins. This pre-screening checks the document against the requirements of the receiving authority. If a document has issues that could cause rejection — missing pages, illegible text, or a required attestation step that has not been completed — we flag it before you pay for anything.
This review is free and takes minutes. Send your document via WhatsApp and we confirm the correct service, required certification level, and fixed price before work starts. If your document needs attestation before translation, we tell you upfront rather than after the translation is done.
MOJ Certification Explained
MOJ certification is the official endorsement that makes a translation legally valid in the UAE. Each certified document carries the translator's stamp, full name, MOJ license number, and a serial number traceable through the Ministry of Justice registry. Without this certification, translated documents are not accepted by Dubai Courts, GDRFA, MOHRE, or any UAE government entity.
Our translator, Khaled Mohamed Abdeltawab Aladl, holds MOJ License #701. He personally signs and stamps every translation. Every document is reviewed for legal terminology accuracy before certification is applied.
Languages We Translate
We translate legal documents from and to Arabic, English, French, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese, Russian, and 40+ other languages. Most legal translation requests involve Arabic-to-English — for understanding a received document — or English-to-Arabic for court filing. Where a third language is involved, we translate through the full chain required by the relevant authority.
Terminology Consistency
Legal documents often form a sequence: a contract leads to an amendment, which leads to a dispute, which leads to a judgment. We maintain terminology records for active matters so the same legal term translates consistently across all related documents in a case or transaction. This is especially important for ongoing litigation and multi-document corporate filings.
Turnaround and Delivery
Standard legal certificates complete within 4-6 hours as a digital PDF. Multi-page contracts take 24-48 hours depending on length and technical complexity. Court filings with urgent deadlines receive same-day processing when submitted before 10 AM.
All translated documents are delivered as secure PDFs first. Physical certified copies are available for collection at Palm Jumeirah Mall or by same-day courier anywhere in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. We also coordinate MOFA attestation where required for cross-border legal proceedings.
Free Zone Regulatory Submissions
Free zone authorities each have their own document submission requirements. DMCC, DIFC, DAFZA, and JAFZA all accept MOJ-certified translations. We format corporate documents to the specific requirements of each free zone.
Company formation documents, shareholder resolutions, and regulatory filings all require accurate legal translation. Errors in terminology can delay licensing approvals significantly. We maintain consistency across all documents in a filing set.
Cross-Border Legal Proceedings
International arbitration and cross-border disputes often involve documents from multiple jurisdictions. We translate legal documents from common law and civil law systems into Arabic. Each translation preserves the original legal intent and structure.
