Certified Translation Services

What is a certified translation?

It is the translation of an official document (such as a birth or a marriage certificate, a contract, a patent, etc.) which has been officially declared accurate and is therefore authorized for submission to a wide range of official bodies and institutions, both in the UAE and abroad (France, Italy, Spain, Germany, USA, Canada etc.).

Since the translation process highly varies from case to case, it is important to be aware of the fact that, depending on the characteristics of your project, your translation may require additional certifications to be fit for legal purposes.

Under which circumstances is a certified translation needed?

Certified quality translations of legal documents are needed when a person emigrates to a foreign country (France, Italy, Spain, Germany, USA, Canada etc.) to work or study or when a document is to be submitted to an official body or institution in a foreign country.

What is an Apostille?

Another service frequently requested alongside certification is the provision of an Apostille.

With the term “Apostille” we refer to the additional authentication required for international acceptance and use of certified documents such as birth certificates, contracts, diplomas, etc.

Instituted by The Hague Convention of 1961, its objective is to simplify the legalization process when a legal document has to be deemed legally valid by a foreign official body or institution.

As prescribed by the Convention, an Apostille is a preprinted small form with ten numbered entries to be filled in by the designated authority in the issuing country.
