Why Dubai Customers Choose SWLT for Passport 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 Passport translation — accepted by GDRFA Dubai and ICP, banks, embassies, notary offices. Used for: visa applications, banking, real estate, embassies, contract signing.

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

GDRFA Dubai and ICP, banks, embassies, notary offices.

Where to submit it in Dubai

  • GDRFA Dubai and ICP — residence visas, family sponsorship, renewals and Emirates ID
  • The Dubai Courts notary public — powers of attorney, declarations and wills — signing arranged through our legal partner
  • Ejari — tenancy registration, used as proof of address for visas and utilities

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

Typical attestation chain

  1. In most cases no attestation is needed: the authority accepts the MOJ-certified translation directly.
  2. If the original was issued abroad and the authority asks for it, attest it in the issuing country, at the UAE embassy there and at MOFA first.
  3. 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.

Do I need to visit your office to get a passport 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 passport 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.
