Why You Need This

One Less Thing to Worry About

After a death, families face airlines, embassies, banks, insurers and courts — often against tight deadlines and across two languages. A translation with a misspelled name or a wrong date can hold up repatriation or an estate for weeks. We get it right the first time and move your file to the front of the queue.

1

Prioritised, Same-Day Turnaround

Death certificates jump the queue. Most are translated within hours so repatriation or embassy paperwork is not held up by the translation.

2

Every Detail Consistent

Name, passport number, date, place and cause of death are rendered exactly and kept consistent across every document in the file — certificate, burial permit, bank letters.

3

Both Directions, Any Language

Arabic UAE certificates into English or the home-country language for repatriation and use abroad — and foreign certificates into Arabic for UAE courts, banks and insurers.

What We Translate

Every Death-Related Document We Handle

The death certificate is rarely the only document. We translate the full set together so names and dates match across the file.

FAQ

Common Questions

Someone passed away in the UAE. Is the death certificate translation needed for repatriation? +

Usually, yes. UAE death certificates are issued in Arabic, and the embassy, airline or authorities in the home country typically need an English (or local-language) certified translation. Requirements vary by country, so check with the embassy — then send us the certificate and we prioritise it the same day.

A family member died abroad and had assets in the UAE. What do I need? +

UAE banks and courts generally need the foreign death certificate attested in the country of issue and by the UAE embassy there (or apostilled where accepted), stamped by UAE MoFA, and translated into Arabic by an MOJ-sworn translator. Estate matters usually also need heirship documents or a will. Confirm the list with the bank or court; we translate the whole set together.

Which documents do banks usually ask for to release a deceased person's account? +

It varies by bank, but commonly the death certificate, an heirship or succession document (or a court order), and the heirs' IDs — each in Arabic or with a certified translation. Ask the bank for its written checklist first; we translate exactly what is on it.

How fast can you translate a death certificate? +

We treat death certificates as priority. A single-page certificate is often ready within a few hours of receiving a clear copy, with the PDF sent first and hard copies following.

Do I need several certified copies? +

Often. Banks, insurers, pension funds and courts may each keep an original stamped copy. Tell us how many authorities you are dealing with and we print the right number of sets in one order.

The certificate is in Hindi / Tagalog / Russian. Can you translate it into Arabic? +

Yes — we translate 50+ languages directly into Arabic by MOJ-sworn translators, and UAE Arabic certificates into English and other languages for use abroad.
