Algerian Birth Certificate Translation
About This Document
Algerian birth certificates (extrait de naissance) are issued by civil registries across Algeria in French and Arabic. They are commonly needed in the UAE for residence visa applications, family sponsorship, school enrollment, and personal status proceedings.
Because Algeria is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, these documents cannot be apostilled. Instead, they require authentication through the Algerian Embassy followed by UAE MOFA attestation.
We provide MOJ-certified legal translation that is accepted alongside the attested original by all UAE government entities, including GDRFA, courts, and the Ministry of Education.

Attestation Guidance
We explain the Embassy + MOFA attestation steps you need
How It Works
Attestation Required. Algeria Is Not a Hague Member
Since Algeria has not joined the Hague Apostille Convention, UAE authorities require a different authentication path:
- Notarize the birth certificate in Algeria
- Authenticate at the Algerian Embassy in the UAE
- Attest through the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA)
We handle translation only. For attestation services, we can refer you to a trusted provider.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our translation services.
How much does Algerian birth certificate translation cost in Dubai?
Algerian birth certificate translation costs AED 150 for MOJ-certified legal translation from Arabic to English. The price covers the translation and MOJ certification. No hidden fees. Your document may vary based on length and any additional fields.
Do I need MOJ certification for an Algerian birth certificate?
It depends on where you are submitting it. Consulate submissions and government use require MOJ-certified translation. If you are submitting to a private company, free zone, or bank, a certified translation without MOJ may be sufficient. We check your specific requirement before quoting.
Does an Algerian birth certificate need attestation in the UAE?
Algeria is not a Hague Apostille Convention member. If attestation is required, the document must go through the Algerian Embassy in Abu Dhabi and then MOFA attestation. We handle translation; attestation is a separate process we can advise on.
What language is an Algerian birth certificate in?
Algerian birth certificates (extrait de naissance / شهادة ميلاد) are typically bilingual. Arabic and French. Both languages appear on the same document. We translate from whichever language the receiving authority requires, or both if needed.
How long does the translation take?
Standard birth certificate translations typically take 2-4 hours. Standard delivery is within 1-2 business days. Express same-day and urgent 1-hour delivery are available, mention your deadline on WhatsApp.
Can I send the document via WhatsApp?
Yes. Send a clear photo of the original via WhatsApp to +971 50 862 0217. We review it, confirm the translation type needed, and send a quote within minutes. The completed translation is delivered as a PDF via WhatsApp and email.
What if my name is spelled differently on my birth certificate and passport?
This is the most common cause of document rejection at government counters. We check name spellings against your passport and Emirates ID when you send us the document. If there is a discrepancy, we confirm the correct transliteration in your quote.
Do you translate birth certificates from other countries?
We translate birth certificates from any country in any language. See our birth certificate translation page for general information, or browse other document examples with prices.
