Notarized Translation Services in Dubai
1. What is a Notarized Translation?
A notarized translation is a translated document that carries both the translator’s certification and a notary public’s authentication of the translator’s signature or identity. This double verification enhances the legal acceptance and is commonly required for high-value or official documents, such as powers of attorney, wills, and court affidavits.
2. Why Notarization Matters
Notarization reduces the risk of rejection by government bodies or courts. Documents without proper notarization can cause delays, extra costs, or legal disputes. By adding a notary’s stamp to a certified translation, you provide an additional legal layer that many authorities in the UAE explicitly require.
3. Documents That Often Require Notarized Translation
- Contracts and commercial agreements.
- Powers of attorney and affidavits.
- Wills, testaments, and probate documents.
- Court judgments and legal notices.
- Immigration, vis, and adoption documents.
- Real estate deeds and property transfer papers.
4. Our Notarized Translation Process (Step by Step)
Rowad Al Loghat follows a clear process so you know what to expect:
- Document submission and requirements check.
- Transparent quotation including notary fees.
- Translation by a certified translator with legal experience.
- Notary authentication in Dubai (physical or as required).
- Final delivery — digital and/or hard copy with notarization stamp.
Typical turnaround: 1–2 working days for standard documents; same-day service available for many cases, depending on notary availability.
5. Certification & Legal Validity in the UAE
To ensure acceptance, notarized translations must meet UAE standards. This often means the translator is certified (e.g., MOJ-recognized), the notary is licensed in Dubai, and any required embassy or MOFA attestation is obtained if the original document is foreign.
6. Common Challenges — and How We Solve Them
Typical issues include exact formatting replication, translating legal jargon without altering meaning, and meeting strict notary requirements. We solve these by using legal translators, format specialists, and by maintaining strong working relationships with local notaries to smooth the process.

9. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between certified and notarized translation?
A certified translation includes the translator’s attestation of accuracy (stamp/signature). A notarized translation adds a notary public’s verification of the translator’s identity and signature, giving it stronger legal standing.
Q: Do all legal documents need notarized translation?
Not all documents need notarization, but many sensitive legal, immigration, or court documents do. Requirements vary by receiving authority; we advise case-by-case.
Q: Can I get a notarized translation the same day?
Yes — same-day service is often possible for standard documents if requested early and if notary availability permits.
Q: Is online notarization accepted in Dubai?
Physical notarization is generally required for UAE courts and many government bodies. We verify remote notarization case by case and advise the best approach for each submission.
