Certified Tagalog and Filipino translation for statements, letters and evidence, and Arabic translation of Philippine certificates already issued in English. We tell you honestly which service your document needs, and the price follows from that.
Trusted Credentials
Do You Need Tagalog at All?
Before you search for a Tagalog translator, look at the document. What you usually need is an Arabic translation, and the language of the original decides the price.
Birth, marriage and death certificates and the CENOMAR issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) are in English. For a UAE authority that wants Arabic, this is an English-to-Arabic job at AED 60 per page plus VAT, not a Tagalog translation. We tell you this before quoting.
Affidavits and statements written in Filipino, handwritten letters, barangay certifications with Filipino text, and chat messages used as evidence (transcription of voice notes on request) in UAE police or court matters. These are translated from Tagalog at AED 250 per page. Other Philippine languages such as Cebuano or Ilocano are on request.
The Apostille Convention has been in force for the Philippines since 14 May 2019, and the DFA now issues apostilles. The UAE is not on the Convention status table, so for UAE use the apostilled document generally still needs legalisation by the UAE Embassy in Manila and then UAE MOFA. Confirm the current steps with the embassy before you start.

FAQ
It depends on the language of the original. Text in Tagalog or Filipino is AED 250 per page of up to 200 words, excluding 5% VAT. If your document is in English, such as a PSA certificate, the Arabic–English rate of AED 60 per page, excluding VAT, applies instead.
It depends on the authority. Many UAE government bodies and courts work in Arabic and ask for a certified Arabic translation, while some services accept English. Ask the office receiving your file. If Arabic is required, we translate it from English.
Generally not. The Philippines is a party to the Apostille Convention, but the UAE is not on the status table. Philippine documents for UAE use normally go on to the UAE Embassy in Manila and then UAE MOFA. Check the current steps with the embassy before you start.
We keep it. In the Philippines the middle name is usually the mother’s maiden surname, not a second given name. We keep the order shown in your passport so the Arabic matches your visa and Emirates ID records.
Usually not, because the marriage certificate itself links the two names. Filipino women commonly take the husband’s surname and keep their maiden surname as the middle name. We translate each name exactly as it appears on each document.
Yes. Chats often mix Tagalog and English, with slang and abbreviations. We translate them in full into Arabic with the dates, times and sender names kept, so the police or prosecution can follow who said what.
Philippine records often use the month-first format, so 03/04/1990 may mean 4 March. Where a date could be read two ways, we check it against the rest of the document or ask you, and write the month in words in the translation.
Yes, for example a judgment, settlement agreement or police statement that someone needs to understand. Philippine authorities generally work with English, so if the document is for an office in the Philippines, ask whether English is what they want.
Yes. These are true Tagalog translations, charged at AED 250 per page plus VAT. Send a clear scan of every page, including any stamps and signatures, so the handwriting can be read in full.
