Before You Translate

Indian Documents Have Their Own Pitfalls

Many Indian papers are partly English and partly in a state language, carry several layers of attestation, and spell the same name three ways. Here is how we handle each.

1

Regional-Language and Bilingual Certificates

Many birth, death and marriage certificates are printed in English and the state language, with the entries handwritten or stamped in one of them. Older certificates, affidavits on stamp paper and land records are often entirely in Malayalam, Tamil, Marathi or Hindi. We translate everything on the page, including registrar seals and margin notes, so nothing is left untranslated.

2

The Attestation Chain Comes First

Indian documents for UAE use usually pass through state-level verification (the Home Department for personal documents, the education department for certificates, a chamber of commerce for commercial papers), then the Ministry of External Affairs, then the UAE Embassy in New Delhi or the Consulate in Mumbai. The embassy states that one digital attestation application covers both the embassy and UAE MOFA. Confirm the current steps for your document before you start.

3

Initials, Father’s Names and Single Names

In parts of South India a name may appear as K. Ravi, where the initial stands for the father’s name or a family or village name. Elsewhere the father’s name is used as a surname, or the passport shows a given name only. We never expand an initial by guessing. We follow your passport, and where documents differ we translate each faithfully so you can see what needs linking.

FAQ

Common Questions

How much does Hindi to Arabic translation cost in the UAE? +

Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and the other listed Indian languages are AED 250 per 200-word page, excluding 5% VAT. If your document is entirely in English, the Arabic–English rate of AED 60 per page, excluding VAT, applies instead. On a bilingual certificate we tell you on WhatsApp which rate applies.

Which Indian languages do you translate? +

Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Gujarati, Marathi, Punjabi and Kannada, into or from Arabic. Other Indian languages on request: send a scan and we will tell you whether we can take it.

My birth certificate is in Malayalam and English. Does all of it need translating? +

Yes. A certified translation covers the whole document, and on bilingual certificates the key entries or seals are often only in one language. We translate both parts into Arabic so the authority sees one complete text.

What is the attestation process for Indian documents for UAE use? +

Usually state-level verification, then the Ministry of External Affairs, then the UAE Embassy in New Delhi or the Consulate in Mumbai. The embassy states that its digital attestation covers both the embassy and UAE MOFA in one application. The state step depends on the document type, so confirm it before you start.

Should I translate before or after attestation? +

After, in most cases, so the translation includes the attestation stamps and stickers. Translating first can mean paying twice if the document is stamped again afterwards.

My name has an initial on one document and is written in full on another. What do I do? +

We translate each document as issued and follow your passport where the original is in a non-Latin script. We do not expand initials ourselves. Where an authority asks you to link the two names, a one-and-the-same-person affidavit from India is commonly used. Ask the authority what it accepts.

Do you translate UAE documents into Hindi or Malayalam? +

Yes, into any of the nine listed languages. Indian authorities often work with English, so check whether the receiving office wants English or a state language before you order.

Can you translate an Indian affidavit on stamp paper? +

Yes. We translate the affidavit text, the stamp paper details, the notary or oath commissioner endorsement and any seals. For use in the UAE, the affidavit usually also needs the attestation chain described above.

Are your translations accepted by UAE authorities? +

SWLT is an MOJ-licensed legal translation office, and our certified translations are accepted across the UAE, including by Dubai Courts. For an Indian affidavit or property paper, the receiving office may also want the MEA and embassy attestation on the original, so check its list first.
