Family Book Translation in Dubai
We translate the UAE family book (khulasat al qaid) from Arabic into English and other languages, stamped and signed. Send a clear copy of every page on WhatsApp for review and a quote.
What does khulasat al qaid translation (خلاصة القيد ترجمة) include?
The UAE family book, called khulasat al qaid in Arabic, is an Arabic family register with connected entries for several family members (for example spouses and children) and their civil-status events. Keeping those entries together helps maintain consistency across the translated record.
Everything on the page is translated, including stamps and handwritten entries. Include older entries and pages with stamps when you send the copy, even if the main details appear elsewhere in the book.
Errors in the original are corrected by the issuer, not in the translation. The translation follows the source entries rather than changing information that appears to be incorrect.
For a longer explanation, read our guide to family book translation.
The receiving authority decides which pages or entries it needs. Send the full book so connected entries stay consistent. Please check the current requirement with the receiving authority.
What will I receive?
The finished translation is delivered as a PDF, on WhatsApp or by email. Clients can also collect from the office during office hours.
When you send the document for review, name the target language and the office that will receive it.
Arabic↔English written legal translation by a translator licensed by the UAE Ministry of Justice (licence no. 688). You can check licence no. 688 on the UAE MOJ legal-translator register.
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 if the family book is going into another language?
For a language other than English, the translation is stamped and signed, and the authority receiving the document decides whether to accept it. State the target language when you send the complete book for review.
Read what MOJ-certified translation means for more about the terminology. Send the complete book so connected entries can be kept consistent in the requested language.
What should I send?
Send a complete, readable copy of every page and both sides, including stamps and annexes. Name the target language and the authority that will receive the work.
Do not omit a page simply because it seems to repeat details found elsewhere. Entries for different family members can be connected, and the full book allows those entries to be considered together.
For other types of documents, see marriage certificate translation and birth certificate translation.
Why do names need passport copies?
One family book names several people. Each person's name may also appear on passports and other papers in the same file. Passport copies for every named person help keep the spelling consistent across those records.
The same name can appear in handwritten or older entries as well as in other documents. A passport copy gives the translator a spelling reference for that person when the name appears in several places.
Sending only one person's passport copy leaves the spellings of other names without the same reference. Include copies for everyone named, even if you are mainly asking about one part of the family record.
