About This Document

Death certificates are official government documents that record the date, location, and cause of death. They are issued by civil registries, hospitals, or government health authorities in the country where the death occurred.

In the UAE, a translated death certificate is required for insurance claim processing, visa cancellation of the deceased person, inheritance proceedings in Sharia and civil courts, bank account closure, property transfer, and coordination of repatriation.

We handle these requests with care and confidentiality, understanding the difficult circumstances families face. We prioritize death certificate translations to help minimize delays during an already challenging time.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our translation services.

How much does death certificate translation cost in Dubai?
Standard death certificate translation costs AED 150 for MOJ-certified legal translation. This covers a single-page document in any language to Arabic or English. Express same-day and urgent 1-hour delivery are available at additional cost. Multi-page documents or less common languages may affect the price.
Which languages do you translate death certificates from?
We translate death certificates from any language into Arabic, English, or both. Common source languages include Hindi, Urdu, Tagalog, Bengali, Malayalam, French, Spanish, and Chinese. Arabic-English translations are the most affordable.
Do I need attestation for a death certificate in the UAE?
It depends on the issuing country and purpose. If from a Hague Convention member country (India, UK, USA, Philippines), an apostille is sufficient. For non-Hague countries (Pakistan, Bangladesh), the document requires embassy attestation followed by MOFA attestation.
What documents do I need alongside a death certificate for inheritance?
For inheritance proceedings in the UAE, you typically need: (1) translated death certificate, (2) translated marriage certificate, (3) translated birth certificates of heirs, (4) will or succession certificate if available, and (5) property documents. All translations must be MOJ-certified.
Can I use this translation for insurance claims?
Yes. Insurance companies in the UAE require MOJ-certified translations of death certificates to process life insurance claims, accidental death benefits, and end-of-service settlements. The translation we provide meets all insurance company requirements.
What if the death occurred in the UAE?
If the death occurred in the UAE and the certificate is in Arabic, you need an Arabic to English translation for insurance companies, embassies, or home country authorities. If already in English, you may need Arabic translation for UAE court proceedings. We handle both directions.
How long does the translation take?
Standard delivery is 1-2 business days. We understand that death certificate translations are often time-sensitive and prioritize accordingly. Express same-day and urgent 1-hour delivery are available.
Do you handle estate settlement document packages?
Yes. Many clients need multiple documents translated for estate settlement — including death certificates, wills, bank statements, property deeds, and court orders. We translate all of these. Send the full package via WhatsApp for a combined quote.
What information appears on a death certificate?
A standard death certificate includes: full name of the deceased, date of death, place of death, cause of death, date of birth, nationality, and next-of-kin details. All fields are translated as part of the service.
Is the translation accepted by UAE courts?
Yes. Our translations carry official Ministry of Justice certification (License #701) and are accepted by all UAE courts, Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, Dubai Courts, and Sharjah Courts for inheritance and estate proceedings.
