Legal Translation in Abu Dhabi — UAE service illustration

Overview

What this service is

Legal translation for UAE procedures is a translation of a certificate, judgment, contract, or personal document into Arabic or English so the receiving authority can read it. A translation is not an attestation stamp.

Who it is for

Clients in Abu Dhabi who have been asked for an Arabic or English version of a foreign document before attestation, a court, a university, or a licensing counter will accept it.

Relevant authority

The authority that asked for the translation decides whether a sworn or locally certified translation is required. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation is a separate stamp. Court filings may need the translator recognised by that court.

Typical documents

A clear copy of the full document, including stamps and the reverse side if it carries text. Partial pages produce an incomplete translation.

How Tellus handles Legal Translation

  • Translation scope and language pair confirmation
  • Document formatting for official use
  • Coordination with attestation when required
  • Delivery checklist for government filings
  • Turnaround depends on document length and language

What We Need to Start

Share your company or personal details, intended activity, preferred emirate, visa needs and any existing approvals. If you already have documents, send them by WhatsApp or email.

Estimated charges depend on the business activity, jurisdiction, legal structure, visa requirements and government approvals. We confirm a clear checklist before work starts.

How the work proceeds

01

Confirm the pathway

Tell us the emirate, the applicant or company, and the transaction. Tellus confirms the target language and whether the authority asked for translation only or translation plus attestation, then arranges the translation and keeps legal names identical to the passport.

02

Match documents to the authority

A clear copy of the full document, including stamps and the reverse side if it carries text. Partial pages produce an incomplete translation.

03

File and follow the authority’s response

Tellus tracks corrections, payments, and appointments the authority raises. Approval remains that authority’s decision.

Estimated Timeline

Timelines vary by document completeness, authority appointments and case type. After reviewing your file, we share realistic next-step stages.

Pricing Disclaimer

Government fees and service charges are confirmed before work starts. Website estimates are not a binding quote until your case is reviewed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which authority handles this?
The authority that asked for the translation decides whether a sworn or locally certified translation is required. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation is a separate stamp. Court filings may need the translator recognised by that court.
Which documents are usually required?
A clear copy of the full document, including stamps and the reverse side if it carries text. Partial pages produce an incomplete translation.
What affects the government fees?
Translation cost follows language, length, and whether a sworn format is required. It is independent of the Ministry attestation fee. A quote is given after the page count is known.
What affects the timeline?
A short personal certificate is faster than a long contract or a judgment. Attestation time is not included in the translation time.
What are the main restrictions?
Translation does not legalise a document and does not change a name. Tellus will not translate from an illegible photo or from a document the client cannot show in full.
Do you guarantee approval?
No. The government authority decides. Tellus prepares the file and follows up. Website text is guidance, not a promise of approval or a fixed fee.
How does Tellus assist?
Tellus confirms the target language and whether the authority asked for translation only or translation plus attestation, then arranges the translation and keeps legal names identical to the passport.
How do I start?
Contact Tellus by WhatsApp, phone, or the website form with the emirate and the transaction. Abu Dhabi files are handled by TELLUS TYPING LLC SPC. Dubai business-setup files are handled by TELLUS BUSINESS SET UP SERVICE.
