From Sharjah, you can send your document on WhatsApp for review and a clear quote, or call +971 50 520 3966 during office hours, Sunday to Thursday, 9:00 to 18:00. Our office is in Deira, Dubai.
Can I get legal translation in Sharjah without visiting an office?
Yes. The first step is a copy of the document, not a trip.
If you assumed you needed a translator in your own emirate before you could even ask for a quote, you can start with a WhatsApp message instead. Send the whole document, say which language you need it in and name the authority that will receive the translation. With that in hand, the review shows what the job really involves, and the quote is based on the actual pages rather than a description of them.
A short note with the photos or scans is enough to begin, for example: "Power of attorney, Arabic into English, for a bank." Questions about unclear pages or missing annexes can then be sorted out in the same chat.
How the service itself works is covered on the legal translation page.
Where is Arkan based?
Arkan has no office in Sharjah. Our primary office is in Deira, Dubai, and the Deira office page has its details. Because the request starts on WhatsApp, you can send the pages, answer any questions about them and receive the quote without travelling to Dubai.
You can also contact the office or go back to where we work.
Which legal documents can you translate?
Legal documents you can send include court judgments, powers of attorney and police clearance certificates. The full list is on the documents we translate page.
Court documents issued in Sharjah are sent the same way as any other: every page, with the language you need. The document title alone is not enough for a review, because stamps and annexes are translated too.
What about personal and business documents?
Birth certificates, marriage certificates and degree certificates can be sent too. If a certificate is printed on both sides, send both, even when the detail you care about is on one side only.
Arkan also offers corporate and technical translation. Tell us what the document is and which language it is going into.
Who translates Arabic and English legal documents?
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 licence is held by the translator, not by Arkan or the office, and it covers written Arabic↔English legal work only. Whether a translation is accepted is decided by whoever receives it, so check the current requirement with the receiving authority before you submit. If a translation of yours has been turned down before, the guide on why legal translations get rejected may help you see what to ask.
Can you translate other languages?
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. With an Urdu or Turkish document, mention whether Arabic is the source or the target.
What should I send for a quote?
Send every page, both sides, with all stamps and annexes. Don't leave out a page because it only carries a signature or a handwritten line. Everything on the page is translated, stamps and handwritten notes included.
Name the target language and the receiving authority. If names appear, add a passport copy so the spelling follows the passport. A mistake in the original has to be corrected by the issuer; the translation does not change it.
The quote and delivery time are confirmed after the review and before work starts.
Can I get it urgently?
Arkan Go handles urgent online translation of eligible documents. Eligibility is decided after review.
Say that the request is urgent in your WhatsApp message, along with the target language. The same review then covers eligibility for Arkan Go as well as the quote, so you hear about both at once.
Do you offer certified translation, proofreading or interpretation?
Certified translation has its own page. Translations are stamped and signed.
Proofreading and revision is a standalone service for checking an existing translation, and it does not produce a certified translation. Arkan also offers interpretation, including court and legal interpretation. The translator's written-translation licence does not cover interpreting.
Do you attest documents?
Arkan does not provide attestation. Attestation is a step before or after translation, handled by the competent authorities; see translation before or after attestation for the order.
