About This Document

UAE marriage certificates (عقد زواج) are issued by Sharia courts and personal status courts across all seven emirates. They are written entirely in Arabic and record the marriage contract details, including the names of both spouses, witnesses, mahr (dowry), and the presiding judge.

An English translation is commonly needed for spouse visa applications abroad, immigration filings, insurance claims, bank account changes, and legal proceedings in English-speaking jurisdictions.

Our translation preserves the exact layout and content of the original document, with the MOJ stamp and translator credentials clearly displayed for official acceptance.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our translation services.

How much does UAE marriage certificate translation cost?
UAE Personal Court marriage certificate translation costs AED 300 for MOJ-certified legal translation from Arabic to English. The price covers translation, MOJ certification, and digital delivery. Your document may vary slightly depending on length and additional endorsements.
Do I need MOJ certification for a UAE marriage certificate translation?
For most official submissions — embassies, foreign ministries, GDRFA spouse visa applications — yes, MOJ-certified translation is required. If submitting to a private employer or bank, a certified (non-MOJ) translation may be sufficient. We confirm the exact requirement before quoting.
What is a UAE Personal Court marriage certificate?
UAE marriage certificates issued by the Personal Status Court are the standard civil marriage documents for UAE residents married under UAE law. They are issued in Arabic and carry the court seal and judge signature. This differs from a Sharia court marriage contract. If you are unsure which document you have, send us a photo on WhatsApp.
Does a UAE marriage certificate need attestation for use abroad?
If using the translated certificate in another country, you typically need MOFA attestation on the original Arabic document before translation. Check whether your destination country accepts UAE documents with apostille or requires embassy attestation.
How long does UAE marriage certificate translation take?
Standard delivery is 1-2 business days as a certified PDF. Express same-day delivery is available for urgent requirements. Hard copy courier dispatched the following business day. WhatsApp us with your deadline.
Can I use this translation for a spouse visa application?
Yes. MOJ-certified marriage certificate translations are accepted by GDRFA for spouse and family visa applications in Dubai. For Abu Dhabi applications through ICP, the same certification standard applies. We verify the exact submission requirements for your application.
What if my name on the marriage certificate differs from my passport?
Name discrepancies between marriage certificates and passports are a common cause of visa application rejections. We verify name transliterations against your passport before completing the translation and flag any discrepancy before delivery.
Can you translate marriage certificates from other emirates?
Yes. We translate marriage certificates from Sharia courts across all emirates — Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and others. The format varies by emirate but the translation process is the same. See our marriage certificate translation page for details.
