Certified Russian translation for UAE authorities: certificates, diplomas, powers of attorney and company papers from Russia and other Russian-speaking countries, translated into Arabic, and UAE documents translated into Russian. We check every name, patronymic and date against your passport before delivery.
Trusted Credentials
Before You Translate
Russian files are often queried for one of three reasons. Sort them out before you pay for anything.
Russian documents give the full name as surname, first name and patronymic, for example Ivanov Sergei Petrovich. Your passport and Emirates ID usually show only the first name and surname. We keep the patronymic in the translation, set out the name order clearly, and make sure the Arabic name can be matched to your visa and residence records.
Юлия can appear as Yulia, Yuliya or Iuliia depending on the rules used when a passport was issued. A fresh transliteration that differs from your passport is the classic reason a file gets queried. Send a copy of your international passport and we render every name the way it already appears there, then write the Arabic from that spelling.
According to the UAE Embassy in Moscow, Russian-issued documents are first attested by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then by the embassy, and its digital attestation covers the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the same application. Translating after attestation means the stamps are translated too. Documents from other countries go through the UAE mission in the issuing country.

How It Works
WhatsApp clear scans of every page, including the back with stamps, plus a passport copy for name spellings. Tell us which authority the translation is for.
We count the pages, confirm the price and tell you if the document looks like it still needs attestation before translation.
A legal translator works from the original, translates every stamp and note, and checks names, patronymics, dates and document numbers against your passport.
You receive the signed and stamped certified translation, with the patronymic kept and every Cyrillic stamp translated. Same-day delivery is available for many documents. Hard copies are available on request.

FAQ
Russian is AED 250 per 200-word page, excluding 5% VAT, whether you need Russian to Arabic or Arabic to Russian. A birth or marriage certificate is usually one page; a diploma with its supplement is more. Send a scan on WhatsApp and we confirm the page count first.
Yes. Russian documents are translated into Arabic, with patronymics, Cyrillic stamps and legal terms rendered by their exact legal meaning. If an authority also wants English, we can provide that too.
We keep it, because it is part of the legal name on the document. We set out the name order clearly and follow the Latin spelling in your passport, so the person can be matched to their UAE records even where the passport leaves the patronymic out.
The Russian original is in Cyrillic, so the Latin form in the translation is our choice. We use the passport spelling. If an older document carries a different surname, for example a maiden name, we translate it faithfully and you may need the marriage or name-change certificate to link the two.
Usually, yes, for official use in the UAE. The UAE Embassy in Moscow states that Russian documents must first be attested by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Its digital attestation then covers both the embassy and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Check with the authority receiving your file, and translate after attestation so the stamps are included.
Generally not. Russia is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention but the UAE is not listed on the Convention status table, so UAE authorities normally expect the attestation route through the UAE mission. See our guide on apostille versus attestation for the difference.
Yes. Many documents from Russian-speaking countries are issued in Russian or in Russian alongside the national language. We translate the Russian text and tell you if the other part also needs translating. Attestation goes through the UAE mission in the country that issued the document.
Yes: marriage contracts, judgments, licences, contracts and certificates. Requirements in Russia differ by office. Some ask for the translation to be certified by a Russian notary or consulate, so ask the receiving office first and we prepare the translation to suit.
SWLT is an MOJ-licensed legal translation office, and our certified translations are accepted across the UAE, including by Dubai Courts. For a Russian power of attorney or judgment, the court may also want the original attested, so finish that step first.
