Tenancy Contract Translation for Sharjah

Complete guide to translating tenancy contracts for Sharjah Municipality, family visa applications, and SEWA requirements. Part of our Sharjah translation services.

What Makes Sharjah Different

Sharjah Municipality Attestation Fee: Unlike Dubai, Sharjah Municipality charges 4% of annual rent for tenancy contract attestation. This is in addition to translation fees. Example: AED 50,000/year rent = AED 2,000 attestation fee.

• Own Registration System — Sharjah uses its own tenancy registration system, different from Dubai’s Ejari. For Dubai-specific lease translation, see our lease contract translation page.
• SEWA Requirements — SEWA clearance often required for visa sponsorship and various applications.
• Different Attestation — Attestation process goes through Sharjah Municipality, not Dubai DLD. Understand the difference between notary public and MOJ translation before starting.
• Cross-Emirate Rules — Using Sharjah tenancy for Dubai visa requires specific cross-emirate steps.
