Certified Korean translation for UAE authorities: family relation certificates, basic certificates, marriage records, degrees, employment and company documents from the Republic of Korea, translated into Arabic, and UAE documents into Korean. Names follow your passport, and every seal is translated.
Trusted Credentials
Before You Translate
Korea has close business ties with the UAE in energy, construction and healthcare, so Korean families and professionals often need their papers in Arabic. These are common problems.
Since 1 January 2008 Korea has recorded civil status in individual certificates rather than the old household register (hojeok, under the hoju system). A family relation certificate (가족관계증명서) shows parents, spouse and children; a basic certificate (기본증명서) shows the person's own birth and name details; a marriage relation certificate (혼인관계증명서) shows marriage and divorce. Each exists in a general and a detailed version. A UAE family visa or court file may need a specific one, so check before you order from Korea.
Korean names are written surname first, and the same Hangul surname can appear as Lee, Yi or Rhee, or as Park or Bak. Korea's official Revised Romanization often differs from the spelling in an older passport. We follow the passport spelling exactly, keep the surname-first order clear, and write one consistent Arabic form so the translation matches the visa and Emirates ID file.
Korea has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 2007, so many people obtain an apostille by habit. The UAE is not on the convention's status table. For UAE use, Korean documents usually need authentication by the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then the UAE Embassy in Seoul, then the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Confirm the current steps with the embassy before you start.
Korean Documents We Translate
Korean into Arabic for UAE authorities, and Arabic or English into Korean for use in Korea.
Family relation, basic, marriage relation and adoption relation certificates, general or detailed, for family residence visas, school enrolment, inheritance and court files.
Transcripts of the closed household register (제적등본) for events recorded before 2008, which inheritance and lineage cases sometimes still need. We translate the household layout so the relationships are clear in Arabic.
Korean university degrees, transcripts and graduation certificates, for certificate equivalency, professional licensing, healthcare registration and employment in the UAE.
Criminal record certificates, career and employment certificates (경력증명서) and salary statements for UAE work permits and licensing.
Corporate registration extracts, articles of incorporation, board minutes, powers of attorney and contracts, for UAE company setup, branch registration, tenders and disputes.
UAE birth and marriage certificates, police clearances, judgments, salary certificates and trade licences translated into Korean for use in Korea. Ask the receiving Korean office what legalisation it needs.
How It Works
WhatsApp clear scans of every page, including seals and the back of the document, plus a passport copy for each person named. Tell us which UAE authority the translation is for.
We count the pages, confirm the price, and tell you if the certificate type or version looks wrong for your purpose, or if it carries only an apostille.
A legal translator translates every entry and seal, and checks names, resident registration numbers and dates against your passport.
You receive the signed and stamped certified translation, with every Korean seal translated and your passport spelling used throughout. Same-day delivery is available for many documents. Hard copies are available on request.
Where It Is Used

Excl. 5% VAT
Korean MOFA authentication, UAE Embassy and MOFA fees are paid to those bodies and are not part of the translation price. We confirm your page count and total on WhatsApp before we start.
FAQ
Korean is AED 250 per 200-word page, excluding 5% VAT, into Arabic or from Arabic. A family relation certificate is usually one or two pages, and a basic certificate often one. Send a scan on WhatsApp and we confirm the count first.
It depends on what you must prove. For a spouse, the marriage relation certificate is the usual record; for children, the family relation certificate or the child's basic certificate shows parentage. The visa authority or your typing centre has the final say, so ask them which certificate and version they want.
The hojeok was a household register headed by the family head under the hoju system, which Korea abolished after a 2005 Constitutional Court ruling. Since 1 January 2008 each person has their own records, issued as separate certificates. Pre-2008 events can still appear on transcripts of the closed register.
Not by itself. Even with an apostille, Korean papers for the UAE usually need Korean MOFA authentication and the UAE Embassy in Seoul, then MOFA here. Ask the receiving authority first.
Your passport. UAE authorities match people by passport, so we use that spelling for every person named, and we can add the Hangul in brackets where it helps identify someone.
We reproduce it exactly as it appears, because the receiving authority may use it to match records. If the certificate masks part of the number, the translation shows it masked too.
Yes: marriage and birth certificates, police clearances, judgments, salary certificates and company papers. UAE documents for Korea usually need UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation and may need Korean consular legalisation, so ask the Korean office or the Korean mission in the UAE first.
Same-day delivery is available for many documents, such as single certificates. Longer contracts or company files take more time. Tell us your deadline when you send the scan.
