Route check included: Before we start, we confirm which certification tier your receiving authority requires and whether attestation is needed. A birth certificate for KHDA school enrollment needs different handling than one going to a foreign embassy for citizenship - we check so you do not pay for the wrong tier. Arkan handles the full chain: translation under the correct stamp, MOFA attestation coordination where required (done-for-you), and digital delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dubai
Do I need MOJ-certified translation for a birth certificate?For UAE government submissions (GDRFA visa applications, school enrollment, Dubai Courts) - yes, you need MOJ-certified translation. For private entities (banks, employers, some universities), certified translation at any tier is usually sufficient. Send your document and we confirm which tier applies.
How long does birth certificate translation take?Birth certificates are standard-format routine documents. Through Arkan Go, delivery is typically 4-24 hours for eligible files. Standard service is same-day to next business day.
Do I need attestation in addition to translation?It depends on where the birth certificate is going. For use within the UAE (visa, school enrollment), translation alone is usually sufficient. For use abroad (foreign citizenship, embassy submission), you likely need both translation and attestation - and the order matters. See the order guide.
Can I translate a foreign birth certificate for use in the UAE?Yes. Foreign-issued birth certificates are translated into Arabic for UAE government submissions. If the document is in a language other than English, it may need to go through two translation steps (source language to English, then English to Arabic) or directly if we have an MOJ-licensed translator for that pair.
What about birth certificates in languages other than English?Arkan handles birth certificates through a three-tier certification model. Arabic to English is under MOJ License #701 (Tier 1). Other major pairs go via contracted MOJ translators (Tier 2). Rare pairs use company certification (Tier 3). The certification tier is confirmed before starting.
