Before You Sign or Register
A property deal touches several offices: the developer, the bank, the registration trustee and the land registry. Each checks names, numbers and powers against the papers in front of it. A translation that drifts on one name or one clause can hold the whole file.
The Dubai Land Department lists, for an LLC registering an off-plan sale, a copy of the Memorandum of Association and its annexes with a legal translation into Arabic. For foreign and GCC companies, the translated MoA must also be ratified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a foreign company buying from a free zone needs that zone's NOC.
If someone signs for you, the registry and the trustee check that the power of attorney expressly covers that act, such as selling, buying, mortgaging or receiving the price. A POA signed abroad usually needs attestation and a legal Arabic translation. Your lawyer settles the wording; we make sure the Arabic says exactly the same.
Dubai runs on the DLD. Abu Dhabi transactions run through the DARI platform, under the Department of Municipalities and Transport and its Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre. Since 1 January 2025, property on Al Reem and Al Maryah islands is registered by the ADGM Registration Authority, which works in English. Ask the registry or trustee which documents it wants in which language before you translate.

How It Works
WhatsApp scans of every page and tell us who will read them: DLD, DARI, ADGM, a bank, a notary or an authority abroad. We quote per page before starting.
Documents issued abroad, such as a company's MoA or a POA, are usually attested before translation so the Arabic covers every stamp.
A legal translator translates the set. Names, passport numbers, plot and unit numbers, areas, prices and dates are checked across every document in the file.
You receive the stamped translation as a PDF, with hard copies on request. Same-day delivery is available for many documents.

FAQ
For some documents, yes. The DLD service pages ask corporate buyers for the Memorandum of Association with a legal translation into Arabic, ratified by MOFA for foreign and GCC companies, and accept a settlement agreement in Arabic or as a certified translation. Check the current list for your transaction with the DLD or your trustee.
Developer SPAs in Dubai are often bilingual or in English, and the DLD issues its own contract. A translation is usually needed when a bank, court or authority abroad has to read the SPA, or when it is in a third language. Our property-buying guide, linked below, covers the purchase steps.
Oqood is the DLD system for registering off-plan sales before completion. Its certificates are used as issued inside Dubai; you need a translation when you present them abroad, for example to a tax office or a lender, or file them in a dispute.
Typically the Memorandum of Association and its annexes, into Arabic. For a foreign or GCC company, the DLD lists a translated MoA ratified by MOFA, a shareholder certificate and, for a free zone company buying, a free zone NOC. Board resolutions and POAs often need translating too.
Abu Dhabi transactions run through the DARI platform under the Department of Municipalities and Transport and the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre. Requirements depend on the transaction and the parties, so ask DARI or your trustee which documents must be in Arabic. Foreign corporate documents and POAs are the usual candidates.
Since 1 January 2025, real property on Al Reem and Al Maryah islands is registered with the ADGM Registration Authority. ADGM works in English, so Arabic documents may need an English translation. Confirm with the Registration Authority what it needs.
Yes, into Arabic for a UAE notary or registry, or out of Arabic for use abroad. We do not draft or advise on the powers it should contain; your lawyer does. Our property POA guide, linked below, explains the attestation steps.
Arabic⇄English is AED 60 per 200-word page, excluding 5% VAT. Long SPAs and mortgage contracts are quoted on the page count; we can translate only the clauses a bank or authority asks for. Other languages are quoted on request.
Yes. For a signing at a trustee office, a developer or a notary, we can arrange a consecutive or escort interpreter in Arabic and English, and other languages such as Russian on request. Interpreting is quoted on request.
A translation tells you exactly what a document says. It is not legal advice and does not check the deal. Before you sign or pay, take advice from a UAE property lawyer and verify the property with the official registry.
