MOHRE Degree Translation for UAE Work Permits
If your employer or PRO needs your degree in Arabic for a MOHRE work-permit file, send a clear copy on WhatsApp for review and a quote. 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.
The licence covers written Arabic↔English legal translation only, not interpretation or other language pairs. The receiving authority decides whether to accept a translation. Check the current requirement with the receiving authority or your employer's PRO.
Do I need my degree translated for a MOHRE work permit?
This page covers the translation of a degree requested for a work-permit file, not a decision about which documents that file needs. Whether an Arabic version is necessary is a question for the receiving authority or the employer or PRO handling the file.
For general degree certificate translation, use that page instead. For degree certificate translation for MOHRE, send the certificate to Arkan for review and a quote.
Who translates the degree?
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.
The licence belongs to the translator who holds it. Everything on the document is translated, including stamps, seals and handwritten notes, and translations are stamped and signed. Errors in the original are corrected by the issuer, not in the translation.
Include the whole certificate for review, not only the part showing the degree title or the holder's name. Text on the reverse and any existing stamps are also part of the document to be translated.
What to send on WhatsApp
Send a clear copy of every page, both sides, including stamps, seals and any attestation stamps already on the document. Say that the translation is for a MOHRE work-permit file and name the target language. Include a passport copy so names are spelled as they appear in the passport.
For an Arabic translation of degree for work permit purposes, send the whole document. Arkan Go handles urgent online translation of eligible documents; eligibility is decided after review.
Degree not in English or Arabic?
We also translate other language pairs. The translation is stamped and signed, and the receiving authority decides acceptance.
Urdu↔Arabic and Turkish↔Arabic are available in both directions. Spanish, German and Russian are available too. Send the degree for review and tell us the target language.
Transcript too?
If you also need your transcript translated, send it with the degree for review. See the separate page on transcript translation for that document. Include clear copies of its pages, both sides and any stamps or handwritten notes, just as you would for the degree.
Attestation
Arkan does not provide attestation; it is a separate step handled by the competent authorities before or after translation, as covered in translation before or after attestation.
Price, payment and delivery
The quote and delivery time are confirmed after the document is reviewed, before work starts. Payment is by secure online payment links from Ziina or Stripe, or by wire transfer.
You receive a PDF on WhatsApp or by email, or you can collect the stamped copy from the office during office hours. The receiving authority decides whether a PDF or a printed stamped copy is needed. Sending a PDF is a delivery option, not a claim that it will be accepted for the file.
Already have a translation?
If you already have a translation and need it checked, proofreading and revision are standalone services. They do not produce a certified translation. If you need a new translation instead, send the degree itself for review and a quote.
For a separate rejection topic, see what to do if a degree is rejected for a work permit.

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.

What should I send for a quote?
Send a clear copy of every page, both sides, including stamps, seals and any existing attestation stamps. State that it is for a MOHRE work-permit file and give the target language.
