A name change document records that a person has formally changed their name. Depending on the country it may be called a name change certificate, a deed poll, a change-of-name deed, a court order or a civil registry decision. It links the former name to the new one, so later documents in the new name can be matched to older ones.

People in the UAE usually need it translated when their passport, degree, birth certificate or marriage certificate shows different names, and an office here needs to see that both names belong to the same person.

Bodies that may ask for it include residency and immigration offices, courts and notaries, banks, employers, schools and universities, and licensing offices. Each one sets its own requirements, so check with the office handling your file whether it needs a legal translation or any other supporting documents before you order.

What it usually contains

  • The former name and the new name, sometimes with a declaration that the old name is abandoned.
  • The holder's date and place of birth, nationality or address.
  • The issuing registry, court or office, a reference or record number and the date of the change.
  • Signatures, witness details, seals and stamps. We translate each part as it appears.

How to order on WhatsApp

  1. Send a clear photo or scan of every page of the document on WhatsApp.
  2. Tell us the language, who will receive the translation and how the names are spelled in your passport.
  3. We usually reply within 1–3 minutes, confirm the price and timing, and send a payment link.
  4. You receive the translation as a digital PDF.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our translation services.

How much does it cost to translate a name change certificate?

We do not publish a fixed price here, because these documents vary a lot: a one-page certificate in one country, a deed poll with a witness page in another, a court order with several pages elsewhere. Send the document on WhatsApp. A real person on our team usually replies within 1–3 minutes and then confirms the exact price for your file before you pay.

Which languages do you translate name change documents from?

Most of the name change documents we receive are in a foreign language and need translating into Arabic for use in the UAE. We also translate Arabic name change documents into English. Send the document and tell us the language, and we confirm the direction and price on WhatsApp.

Do I need a standard or a legal translation?

It depends on who receives it. Check what the receiving body asks for, and we offer either a standard or a legal translation to match. For Arabic–English documents, the legal translation is done by our MOJ-licensed legal translator (Arabic–English documents only). For other languages into Arabic, we confirm on WhatsApp what we can provide for your document before you pay.

Will the authority accept the translation?

The authority, court, bank, employer or school receiving the translation decides whether to accept it and what else it needs. We translate what the document says, with the old and new names exactly as written.
