Guide · Verify a Translator

Direct answer: a certified translation in the UAE should carry a named translator’s stamp with a Ministry of Justice license number. You can check that credential with the Ministry itself — via its translator search service (Arabic) on moj.gov.ae, or its toll-free line 800 333333.

MOJ License #701 · Khaled Mohamed · Arabic ↔ English

What to look for on the document

  • A person’s name, not only a company logo. The license belongs to an individual legal translator.
  • A license number on the stamp.
  • A signature on the translated pages themselves, not only on a covering letter.
  • The language pair — a translator is licensed for specific languages; the pair on your document should be the pair on the license.

How to verify with the Ministry

  1. The Ministry of Justice operates a Search for Translators service (Arabic interface) reachable from moj.gov.ae under Services.
  2. The Ministry’s published toll-free number is 800 333333.
  3. Ask whether the license number on your stamp is registered, to whom, and for which language pair.

Why this matters

A company trade license permits a business to operate; it does not certify translations. The credential that matters on a stamped page is the individual translator’s MOJ license. They are two different licenses doing two different jobs — and it is worth knowing which one a stamp is relying on.

Arkan’s own credential is published in full — the license, the named translator, and the registration dates — on the About page. We would rather you check than take the adjective on faith.
