JLT Translation Services

Trade License Translation

The DMCC trade license is the foundational document for any free zone company. It specifies the company name, license number, permitted activities, shareholders, and validity dates. Arabic translation of this document is required for most interactions with mainland UAE authorities and banks.

Trade license translation is straightforward but must be accurate—bank compliance departments verify details carefully. We ensure exact rendering of company names, activities, and all other license elements. For ongoing compliance, you may also need board resolution translation.

Memorandum of Association

The MOA defines a company's constitution: ownership structure, capital, governance, and permitted activities. MOA translation is commonly required for bank account opening, property purchases, and legal proceedings. For DMCC companies, the MOA follows the free zone's standard template, though customizations for specific businesses are common.

Employment and Visa Documents

JLT companies sponsoring employees need various documents translated for immigration purposes. Employment contracts for MOHRE submission, salary certificates for visa applications, and NOC letters for employee transactions all require MOJ-certified translation.

For companies with regular hiring, we offer ongoing arrangements that streamline the translation of standard employment documents. HR departments appreciate consistent pricing and predictable timelines. Employees may also need degree certificate translation for credential verification.

Corporate Governance Documents

Board resolutions, shareholder resolutions, and minutes of meetings may need translation for various purposes: evidencing authority for bank transactions, supporting legal filings, or informing non-Arabic-speaking stakeholders. Corporate translation requires precision with governance terminology. For transactions requiring third-party authorization, see our Power of Attorney translation services.

Startups and SMEs

JLT hosts many startups and small businesses. For these companies, translation is an occasional need—bank account setup, initial visa processing, maybe an occasional legal matter. We accommodate one-off requests with the same attention as regular clients. No minimum order, no retainer required.

Trading Companies

Commodities trading and general trading form a significant part of the JLT business community. These companies may have contracts, shipping documentation, and commercial correspondence in multiple languages. We handle commercial document translation with awareness of trading terminology.

Professional Services

Consulting firms, accounting practices, and professional services companies often need translation for their clients as well as their own operations. We work with professional services firms as an extension of their client service, providing reliable translation that reflects well on the referring firm.

Ongoing Relationships

For companies with regular translation needs, we offer ongoing arrangements with dedicated coordinators. Consistent pricing, streamlined processes, and familiarity with your typical documents all contribute to efficient service. Many JLT businesses have worked with us for years.

Send your documents via WhatsApp from your JLT office. Trade license, MOA, employment contracts—whatever you need translated. We will confirm the approach, timeline, and cost within minutes.

For bank account openings, let us know which bank you are working with. Some banks have specific requirements we can address proactively. For visa processing, we can advise on the complete document requirements if you are unsure what needs translation.
