Frequently Asked Questions
Is MOJ-certified translation required for a death certificate?For submissions to Dubai Courts (inheritance, succession), GDRFA, or any UAE government authority - yes. For insurance claims or private institutions, certified translation at any tier may be sufficient. Send your document and we confirm which certification tier your receiving authority requires.
How long does death certificate translation take?Standard death certificates are routine documents - same-day delivery is available through Arkan Go. If the document includes supplementary reports (coroner findings, hospital summaries), it may take up to the next business day depending on length and complexity.
How do I translate a foreign death certificate for use in the UAE?Foreign-issued death certificates are translated into Arabic for UAE government submissions. If the original is in a language other than English, it may go through two translation steps (source language to English, then English to Arabic) or directly if we have an MOJ-licensed translator for that language pair. Attestation requirements depend on the receiving authority.
Does the translated death certificate need attestation?It depends on the use case. For inheritance proceedings in Dubai Courts, translation alone is usually sufficient. For cross-border estate matters or repatriation, you may need both translation and attestation - and the order matters. See the order guide.
Can you translate related inheritance documents alongside the death certificate?Yes. Death certificates are often submitted with wills, succession certificates, property titles, and bank letters. We translate the full bundle and confirm which certification tier each document requires based on the receiving authority.
