LEGAL TRANSLATION SERVICE IN UAE

The attestation process

Kanoony follows a comprehensive and an effective process to guarantee the validity of every document translated.

• Scenario 1

  Legal Contracts and Documents Issued Outside UAE and Destined to Dubai, Abu Dhabi or other Emirates in UAE.

  Prior to proceeding with the translation, the UAE Embassy in the country of origin must authenticate the document, for instance, the UAE Embassy in Paris authenticates documents issued in France. National consulates and embassies may also in certain cases authenticate the original documents. Once the document arrives to the UAE, the attestation process is handled by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).

  Once these steps are complete, Kanoony will forward the document to the translation service provider for translation. The document will be stamped by a certified translator recognized by the Ministry of Justice in the UAE.

• Scenario 2

  Legal Contracts and Documents Issued in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or other Emirates in the UAE and Destined Outside the UAE.

  Prior to proceeding with the translation, the UAE organization or individual signs and stamps the document it issued, together with the relevant UAE legalization authority, for instance, the Notary Public.

  Consequently, the attestation process of the document is conducted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). Lastly, the attestation process of the document is conducted by the Consulate or Embassy of the country of destination.
