MOJ Licensed Legal Translator Mohamed Khalid (MOJ Licence #688, Arabic–English) — Al Qemma Legal Translation (DED Licence 876257)
Downtown Dubai sits between two court systems. On one side is the DIFC, where the DIFC Courts hear cases in English under a common-law framework. On the other are Dubai Courts, where proceedings are in Arabic. Many people who live or work around the Boulevard, the Opera District and the DIFC towers deal with both. A DIFC law firm may file one matter in English at DIFC Courts and need an Arabic translation through our legal translation Dubai service for a related claim at Dubai Courts.
Which court, which language
Before we translate anything, we ask where the document is going. For DIFC Courts, English documents are often filed as they are, and Arabic or other-language documents may need an English translation. For Dubai Courts, foreign-language documents normally need Arabic. Arabic–English legal translations are signed and stamped by Mohamed Khalid, MOJ licence #688. We do not set court rules. Your lawyer or the court’s own instruction decides what is required, and final acceptance is decided by the receiving entity.
Documents Downtown customers send
Most Downtown requests fall into three groups:
- DIFC and free-zone companies: MOA, board resolutions, trade licences, powers of attorney and employment contracts for staff visas.
- Disputes: pleadings, exhibits, arbitration documents and correspondence for litigation at DIFC Courts or Dubai Courts.
- Residents and investors: SPAs, tenancy contracts, bank statements, and birth, marriage and degree certificates for visas, schools and banks.
If a document also needs attestation, we explain the order of the authority steps so the translation is done at the right stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our translation services.
Do DIFC Courts need an Arabic translation of my English documents?
Usually not for the language itself. DIFC Courts work in English, so English documents are often filed as they are. Documents in Arabic or another language may need an English translation. Check the instruction from the court or your lawyer; the final decision rests with the receiving entity.
My case is at Dubai Courts, not DIFC Courts. What changes?
Dubai Courts work in Arabic, so English or foreign-language documents normally need an Arabic legal translation. Our Arabic–English legal translations are signed and stamped by Mohamed Khalid, MOJ licence #688, and are prepared for submission to UAE authorities; final acceptance is decided by the receiving entity.
Do I need to visit an office from Downtown?
No. Send a clear scan or photo on WhatsApp, approve the quote, and receive the digital PDF for review before submission. Our office is at Palm Jumeirah Mall. If you need a stamped hard copy, ask when you order; courier delivery is quoted separately.
Can you translate documents for a DIFC or free-zone company?
Yes. Common requests are the MOA, board resolutions, trade or commercial licences, powers of attorney and employment contracts. Tell us which authority, bank or court will receive them so the translation matches its terminology.
How long will my Downtown order take?
We do not quote a standard time. After we review the document and check translator availability, we confirm the price and timing on WhatsApp before you approve.
