Legal Translation in Ajman
Need a legal document translated while you are in Ajman? Start with a WhatsApp copy for review and a quote; alternatively, call +971 50 520 3966 during office hours (Sunday–Thursday, 9:00–18:00). Arkan has no office in Ajman; the primary office is in Deira, Dubai.
The legal translation page describes the service itself. Here, the decision is how to get the document reviewed, what happens after the quote and whether you will need to collect a printed stamped translation rather than receive a PDF.
Certified legal translation Ajman: what does the stamp mean?
Certified describes the finished translation: it is stamped and signed. That is different from promising that another organisation will accept 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.
The licence belongs to the translator and covers written Arabic↔English legal translation only, not interpretation or other language pairs. The body receiving the document decides whether to accept the translation. For details of the service, see certified translation.
Court document translation Ajman: what belongs in the file?
Send the complete court document rather than selected passages. A judgment or other court paper may include annexes, stamps, seals and handwritten notes, all of which form part of the material to be translated.
Names, dates, reference numbers and case numbers are rendered exactly as printed. An error in the original must be corrected by the issuer, rather than changed in the translation. See court judgment translation for that document type or power of attorney translation for another legal document.
State the target language and identify who will receive the translated document. Check the current requirement with the receiving authority or your lawyer.
Arkan translates the document; it does not advise on a case, a filing or what a court or authority needs. That is for your lawyer and the receiving authority.
How is the translation direction decided?
Arabic→English or English→Arabic depends on where the document is going. The receiving authority decides the language it needs. The written legal translation licence described above applies to these directions only.
Identify the required target language when sending the file. A document written in Arabic, for example, does not by itself tell the translator whether the finished version must be in English; the intended recipient's requirement determines that choice.
Which pages and details should I send first?
Send a complete, readable copy of each page, including both sides. Keep stamps, seals, annexes and handwritten notes visible, even if they appear away from the main text. This lets the review cover the whole document rather than the part that initially looks most relevant.
A passport copy for each named person helps keep the spelling of names consistent across the file. If several documents belong to the same matter, send them together for name consistency. Give the target language and the name of the body receiving the translation in your message.
How do the quote, payment and return work?
Arkan reviews the document before confirming the quote and delivery time, and both are confirmed before work starts. Arkan Go handles urgent online translation of eligible documents; eligibility is decided after review.
Payment is available through secure online links from Ziina or Stripe, or by wire transfer. The finished PDF can be sent on WhatsApp or by email; a printed stamped copy can instead be collected from the Dubai office during office hours.
The route begins with the WhatsApp review, but it does not mean every finished document is handed over remotely. Confirm which format you need before choosing how to receive the translation.
Is a PDF enough, or should I collect a printed copy?
Ask the receiving authority whether a PDF is sufficient or a printed stamped copy is needed. A PDF sent on WhatsApp or by email is a way to receive the translation, not a statement that it will be accepted for a particular use.
If paper is needed, collect it from the Deira office in Dubai during office hours. Starting a request and receiving a quote can happen over WhatsApp; collection of the printed translation takes place at the Dubai office.
Can the document be in a language other than English or Arabic?
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 also offered. For the Urdu and Arabic pair, see Urdu legal translation.
The translator's licence described earlier is not a credential for these other language pairs.
What if the text has already been translated?
Proofreading and revision of an existing translation are available as a standalone service. Reviewing an existing translation does not produce a certified translation; a new stamped and signed translation is a different request.
Arkan does not provide attestation; it is a separate step before or after translation handled by the competent authorities, as described in translation before or after attestation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an office in Ajman?
No. Arkan's primary office is at Office 1-04-106, Riqaa Al Buteen Plaza Building, 35 Al Maktoum Road, Al Muraqqabat, Deira, Dubai. Send the complete document on WhatsApp to begin review and obtain a quote.
If the organisation receiving the translation needs a printed stamped copy, you collect it from that Dubai office during office hours. Starting and quoting are remote; collection of paper is at the office.
Where can I verify the written Arabic-English licence?
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.
This licence belongs to the translator and is limited to written Arabic↔English legal translation, not interpreting or other pairs. It does not determine whether the finished document will be accepted.
Should I request a PDF or a printed stamped copy?
The finished PDF can be sent through WhatsApp or by email. If you need the printed stamped translation, it is collected from the office in Deira, Dubai during office hours.
Ask the organisation receiving the document which format it needs before deciding. Receiving a PDF from Arkan does not mean the PDF satisfies that organisation's requirements.
Which payment methods are available for my translation?
Payment can be made through a secure Ziina or Stripe online payment link, or by wire transfer. Arkan reviews the full document first and confirms the quote and delivery time before work starts.
You can send the pages and the target language on WhatsApp for that review. The finished PDF is available by WhatsApp or email; printed copies are collected at the Dubai office during office hours.
Can I send court papers from Ajman to be translated into English?
Yes. Send every page of the court document, including both sides, seals, stamps, handwritten notes and any annexes. Give the target language and say who will receive the translation.
Names, case numbers and dates are rendered exactly as printed, and errors in the original are corrected by the issuer. The receiving body decides what it accepts.
Which Arabic pairings are offered for Urdu and Turkish?
Urdu↔Arabic and Turkish↔Arabic are available in both directions. We also translate into and from other languages; the translation is stamped and signed, and the receiving authority decides whether to accept it.
Spanish, German and Russian are also offered. Send the complete document on WhatsApp and identify the target language so the request can be reviewed.
