For UAE authority submissions

Tell us which authority will receive your document. We check the required language and format before confirming the scope. After that, the decision sits with that authority.

These are authority marks, not an endorsement or a decision made on their behalf.

Before you send

What should I send with the file?

Send the complete document and say the source language, the required language and the receiving office. If stamps or notes appear on the back of a page, photograph both sides. If the office has written instructions on language or delivery format, attach them.

Who is the translation for?

Requirements vary by receiving office. Send its instructions with the document so we can review the language, format and supporting pages. We prepare the translation from the source and those instructions. We do not decide on behalf of a court, ministry or notary public.

Do I need to visit an office?

Most enquiries and document exchanges can be handled remotely. If you prefer to visit, choose Barsha Heights or Deira and bring the original, with any stamps or attestations it already carries. Both addresses are on the contact page.

We read the document
before work starts

A document can look simple and still carry a detail that only shows up when it is read against the office that will receive it. That is why the review starts with the file itself.

In our clients’ words

A few practical questions

Can I send a phone photo?

Yes, if the text is sharp and the whole page is in frame. Send every page and both sides wherever stamps, seals or endorsements appear. A clear scan is also suitable.

What should I include with the file?

Tell us the language required, the receiving office, and any date that office has set. Include the passport spelling of any names, plus any instructions or supporting documents that need to match.

Can you help with another language pair?

Send the document and the language you need. We confirm whether the request can be carried out, and its scope, after reading the file. The usual official written legal work prepared in this office is Arabic↔English. For any other pair, we confirm the scope after reading the file.

Do I need to visit an office?

Most enquiries and document exchanges can be handled remotely. If you prefer to visit, choose Barsha Heights or Deira and bring the original, with any stamps or attestations it already carries.

Will I receive a digital or printed copy?

Tell us the format the receiving office asks for. We confirm how you will receive the finished translation when we confirm the scope.

Do you provide attestation?

Arkan does not provide attestation. Attestation is done by the issuing country's authorities, the UAE embassy there and MOFA in the UAE. Our part is the translation that sits before or after it.
