Why Dubai Customers Choose SWLT for Commercial Contract Translation

Dubai is the UAE's largest commercial centre and the emirate with the most translation demand. Residence and family visas go through GDRFA Dubai, private schools are licensed by KHDA, foreign driving licences are exchanged at RTA, doctors and clinics are licensed by DHA, and mainland companies by the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET). Free zones such as DMCC, JAFZA and Dubai Silicon Oasis, and the English-language DIFC Courts, generate a steady flow of corporate and court documents, while tenancy contracts are registered through Ejari.

We provide MOJ-sworn Commercial Contract translation — accepted by UAE courts, DIFC and ADGM courts, Ministry of Economy (commercial agencies), Dubai DET, UAE banks, government procurement. Used for: court filings and enforcement, distribution and agency agreements, supply and service contracts, bank financing, government tenders.

We have no office in Dubai. Dubai customers send documents on WhatsApp or email, receive the certified PDF the same way, and get the stamped hard copy by courier — or collect it from our Abu Dhabi office.

Who accepts it and the attestation chain

Accepted by

UAE courts, DIFC and ADGM courts, Ministry of Economy (commercial agencies), Dubai DET, UAE banks, government procurement, and Dubai Courts.

Where to submit it in Dubai

  • Dubai Courts — lawsuits, family and labour cases, enforcement and probate
  • Dubai DET — mainland trade licences, company formation and amendments
  • DMCC, JAFZA, DIFC and Dubai Silicon Oasis — free zone company set-up, licence renewals and corporate bank accounts

Federal steps — MOFA attestation, MOHRE work permits and degree equivalency — are the same in every emirate.

Typical attestation chain

  1. UAE-issued: certified Arabic translation by an MOJ-licensed translator is usually all that is needed.
  2. Where the authority requires notarisation (e.g. MOA amendments), it is done before the Notary Public through our legal partner.
  3. Issued abroad: attest in the issuing country and at the UAE embassy there, then at MOFA, before translation.
  4. For use outside the UAE: MOFA attestation, then the destination country's embassy.

Requirements vary by authority and issuing country — we confirm the exact chain before you start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will UAE courts in Dubai accept your contract translation?

Yes. UAE courts require an Arabic translation by an MOJ-licensed legal translator. Ours is stamped and signed by an MOJ-licensed translator and filed as the Arabic version of record.

Can you produce a bilingual (English–Arabic) contract?

Yes. We deliver side-by-side bilingual contracts with matching clause numbering, so both parties sign one document. Tell us which language prevails and we reflect it in the governing-language clause.

Does a contract need attestation before translation?

A contract signed in the UAE usually needs only the certified translation. A contract signed abroad is normally attested in that country, at the UAE embassy there and by MOFA before translation. We confirm the exact chain for your authority first.

How long does contract translation take in Dubai?

24–48 hours for most contracts. Court deadlines can be met same-day; urgent work is priced on request.

How much does commercial contract translation cost?

From AED 80 per 200-word page + VAT. Long agreements are quoted as a fixed price on WhatsApp within 10 minutes.

Do I need to visit your office to get a commercial contract translation for Dubai?

No. We are based in Abu Dhabi and have no office in Dubai, and you don't need one: send a clear photo or scan of your commercial contract on WhatsApp, approve the fixed quote, and we email the certified PDF. The stamped and signed hard copy follows by courier to your address in Dubai.

Is your MOJ-certified translation valid in Dubai?

Yes. Legal translator licences are issued by the federal Ministry of Justice, so a translation certified by an MOJ-licensed translator is accepted by authorities in all seven emirates — in Dubai that includes Dubai Courts, GDRFA Dubai and Dubai DET. You do not need a translator based in Dubai.
