Degree Certificate Translation in Dubai
Send the degree certificate, and the transcript if needed, on WhatsApp for review and a clear quote. Arabic↔English written legal translation by a translator licensed by the UAE Ministry of Justice (licence no. 688). You can check this licence on the UAE Ministry of Justice translator register.
What does a degree certificate translation include?
A translation of degree certificates covers every part of the document you send. Both sides of the certificate are included, along with all stamps, seals and signatures.
If you send the transcript as well, that is translated too. Names are spelled exactly as they appear on the passport copy.
Everything written on the page is translated, including official stamps and any handwritten notes. If the original contains an error, the issuer corrects it. The translation does not change the source text.
Missing the reverse side, leaving seals untranslated, a name that does not match the passport, or omitting the transcript are reasons the work can be sent back. Check the current requirement with the receiving authority (employer, ministry or university) before you order.
Who translates it?
For an Arabic translation of a degree certificate, or an English translation of an Arabic one, we provide Arabic↔English written legal translation by a translator licensed by the UAE Ministry of Justice (licence no. 688). You can check this licence on the UAE Ministry of Justice translator register. The same work is described on our legal translation page.
We also translate into and from other languages; the translation is stamped and signed, and the receiving authority decides whether to accept it. Urdu↔Arabic and Turkish↔Arabic are available in both directions. Spanish, German and Russian are translated as well.
What should I send?
Send every page of the certificate. Include both sides, including any text or stamps on the reverse.
Attach the full transcript if it is required, plus any supplements or annexes. Name the receiving authority and the target language.
A passport copy is used to keep the spelling of names consistent. Quote and delivery time are confirmed after reviewing the document and before work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a degree certificate translation?
The translation covers both sides of the certificate you send, including stamps, seals, signatures and handwritten notes; if you also send a transcript, we translate that too. Names follow the spelling on your passport copy, and everything written on the page is rendered into the target language. Missing reverse pages or an untranslated seal can cause a file to be sent back, so send the full certificate even when the text appears to be on just one side.
Who carries out the Arabic and English translation?
For Arabic and English degree certificates, we provide Arabic↔English written legal translation by a translator licensed by the UAE Ministry of Justice (licence no. 688). You can check this licence on the UAE Ministry of Justice translator register. We also translate into and from other languages; the translation is stamped and signed, and the organisation receiving it decides whether to accept it. Urdu↔Arabic and Turkish↔Arabic are available in both directions, while Spanish, German and Russian are also translated.
Do I need to send the transcript as well?
It depends on the documents requested by the organisation reviewing your application, so ask them if you are unsure whether to include a transcript or degree supplement. Send the documents they request; we translate what you send and use a passport copy to keep the spelling of names consistent. We confirm the quote and delivery time after reviewing your file and before work starts; see our transcript translation page for that document.
