Certified Translation of Thai Documents for United Arab Emirates

A legal translator licensed by the UAE Ministry of Justice for Arabic translations Registry to verify: UAE Ministry of Justice (moj.gov.ae) and UAE MOFA (mofa.gov.ae).

The UAE is not a Hague party. The route is MFA legalisation, UAE embassy attestation in Bangkok, UAE MOFA attestation, then Arabic translation by a licensed legal translator.

Work permits, marriage in the UAE, degree attestation, company registration

Arabic translations by translators the UAE does not license · Skipping the UAE MOFA step · Name spellings differing from the passport

Legalisation 2–3 working days; UAE embassy 5–10 working days; further steps inside the UAE. This excludes the receiving authority's own queue.

No. Documents therefore continue on the legalisation route through the Department of Consular Affairs and the United Arab Emirates embassy, even after 2027. Check status at hcch.net.

They are four separate layers: (1) translating the content, (2) the translator's certificate of accuracy, (3) attestation of a signatory's signature by a lawyer authorised to certify signatures and documents, and (4) legalisation or apostille certifying the seals for cross-border use. The first three cannot replace the fourth.

If the destination requires a translator based in that country, legalise in Thailand first: the translator must render every stamp inside the translation. If the destination accepts a translation prepared in Thailand, translate and certify first, then legalise the translation.

Acceptance is at the receiving authority's discretion, so we do not guarantee outcomes. We confirm the required certification system and document age before starting, and redo our translation work free of charge if the error is on our side.
