Attestation

Document Attestation Support in Dubai

Documents issued in one country may require authentication before they can be used in another. The required steps depend on the issuing country, document type, intended use and receiving authority.

Petra Legal Translation assists clients with understanding and coordinating document-attestation requirements in Dubai. We review the document and intended destination, then explain the available process and whether translation may be required before or after authentication.

Documents Commonly Requiring Attestation

  • Birth, marriage, divorce and death certificates

  • Educational certificates and academic transcripts

  • Commercial licences and corporate documents

  • Powers of attorney and affidavits

  • Police-clearance and medical certificates

  • Employment and salary certificates

How the Process Works

Depending on the document, the process may involve authorities in the country of issue, an embassy or consulate, and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Some documents may also require certified Arabic translation. Requirements can change and are determined by the receiving authority.

We do not represent that every document follows the same route or that acceptance is automatic. Send us a clear copy and identify the country of issue, country of use and requesting authority so we can assess the appropriate support.

Common questions

What types of documents do you translate?

We translate contracts, agreements, court documents, powers of attorney, certificates, licences, corporate records, medical documents, technical materials and many other document types.

Are your legal translators certified?

Certified legal translations are assigned to translators licensed by the UAE Ministry of Justice for the relevant language. Acceptance remains subject to the requirements of the receiving court, ministry, embassy or other authority.

Which languages do you support?

We provide translation services in Arabic, English, French, German, Russian, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Greek and Turkish, among other languages. Contact us to confirm availability for your required language pair.

How do you maintain accuracy and confidentiality?

We assign each project to a translator with relevant language and subject expertise, apply terminology and quality checks, and limit document access to the professionals handling the assignment.

How long does a translation take?

Turnaround depends on the language pair, document type, length, formatting and certification requirements. We confirm the delivery time in writing after reviewing the document.
