Why You Need This

One Licence, Read Correctly Abroad

A foreign bank compliance team or tender committee reads your trade license line by line — legal form, activities, partners, expiry. A loose translation of the activity list or the legal form raises questions that stall an account opening or a bid. We translate licenses so every field means exactly what the issuing authority meant.

1

Legal Form & Activities Rendered Precisely

LLC, sole establishment, civil company, branch, FZE, FZCO — each translated with its correct equivalent, and the licensed activities kept in the same order and wording as the original.

2

Names Matched Across Your File

Company, trade name, manager and partner names spelled consistently with your MOA, passports and bank records — so the recipient sees one entity, not three spellings.

3

Legalisation Path Explained

Many foreign recipients also want the licence attested (e.g. UAE MOFA and the destination embassy). Requirements differ by country, so we tell you the usual order before you start and can arrange attestation alongside the translation.

FAQ

Common Questions

My UAE trade license is already in Arabic and English. Why would I need a translation? +

Many licences are bilingual, but not every field always is — activity descriptions, remarks or partner details may appear in Arabic only. And if the recipient needs French, German, Chinese, Russian or another language, a certified translation is required. Send us the licence and the destination and we confirm whether you need one.

Do I need to attest my trade license before using it abroad? +

Often, yes — banks, registrars and embassies in many countries ask for the licence to be attested (typically by the issuing authority or chamber, then UAE MOFA, then the destination embassy). The exact chain depends on the country and the recipient, so confirm with them; we can guide you and arrange attestation alongside the translation.

We are registering a branch of our foreign company in the UAE. What needs translating? +

Usually the parent company's certificate of incorporation or commercial register extract, plus its constitutional documents, the board resolution to open the branch and the manager's POA — legalised in the home country and translated into Arabic. This page covers the registration documents; for MOA, AOA and resolutions see our company documents page. The registrar's own checklist is final.

Can you translate my trade license for a foreign bank account or a tender? +

Yes. These are among the most common reasons. Tell us the bank or tender authority and the language they want, and we deliver a certified translation formatted to sit alongside the original in their onboarding or bid file.

Do you translate free zone licences the same way as mainland licences? +

Yes, with care for the differences: free zone licences use their own terminology (FZE, FZCO, FZ-LLC, licence categories) and some zones issue a separate certificate of incorporation or register extract. We translate each document with the terms that zone uses.

My licence has been renewed since the copy I have. Which one should I send? +

Always the current, valid licence. Most banks, embassies and tender committees reject an expired one, and a translation of an outdated version cannot be updated — it is a new translation. Download the latest copy from your authority's portal and send that.
