OVERVIEW

Affidavit Translation in Dubai — What Is Required

An affidavit is a written sworn statement of fact — made under oath or affirmation — used in legal, immigration, personal status, and administrative proceedings. In Dubai, any affidavit in a language other than Arabic must be accompanied by a Ministry of Justice certified Arabic translation before courts, embassies, MOFA, and government authorities will accept it. This applies to both affidavits issued abroad and affidavits sworn in Dubai in English or another language.

Affidavit translation in Dubai is most commonly required for: affidavits of single status for UAE marriage registration, affidavits of support for visa sponsorship applications, affidavits of relationship for family visa or inheritance purposes, statutory declarations for embassy or immigration submissions, and court affidavits filed as sworn evidence in Dubai Court proceedings. Each type has specific wording and format requirements that a specialist MOJ-certified translator understands.

Taw-Theeq provides MOJ-certified affidavit translation in Dubai — in-house, with legal terminology expertise, accepted by all UAE courts, embassies, and authorities. Same-day available. If your affidavit also needs to be sworn or notarized, see: Notary Public Services Dubai.

⚠️

4 Reasons Affidavit Translation Is Rejected in Dubai

❌ Not MOJ-certified — Dubai Courts, UAE embassies, MOFA, and the Personal Status Department only accept affidavit translations from Ministry of Justice licensed translators. Translations by typing centres, notaries abroad, or online services are rejected at every counter — regardless of accuracy.
❌ Oath or jurat clause not translated — The jurat — the clause stating that the affidavit was sworn before a commissioner of oaths, notary, or court officer — is a legally essential part of the affidavit. A translation that omits or paraphrases the jurat clause is incomplete and will be rejected by Dubai Courts and embassies.
❌ Affidavit not attested for foreign use — An affidavit issued in the UAE and intended for use in a foreign country — such as an affidavit of single status for marriage registration abroad — must be MOFA-attested before the foreign authority accepts it, even when accompanied by a certified English translation.
❌ Wrong affidavit type submitted — UAE embassies and the Personal Status Department have specific requirements about which affidavit type is needed — some require a notarized affidavit of single status, others require a statutory declaration. Submitting the wrong type, even translated correctly, causes rejection and delay.

Do You Need to Swear the Affidavit Before or After Translation?

Foreign Affidavit → Used in UAE

The affidavit must first be sworn before a notary or commissioner of oaths in the country of origin — then brought to Dubai for MOJ-certified Arabic translation. Translation comes after swearing. Where attestation is also required, it follows swearing and precedes translation.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions — Affidavit Translation Dubai

Yes. An affidavit must be sworn — before a notary public, commissioner of oaths, or court officer — before it is translated. Translation is always done after swearing. A translated affidavit that has not been sworn is not a valid affidavit — it is just a document. If you need a new affidavit sworn in Dubai, Taw-Theeq’s notary public service handles the swearing and then our MOJ-licensed translators translate it in the same appointment.
Yes. The UAE Personal Status Department requires non-Muslim foreign nationals to submit an affidavit of single status translated into Arabic by an MOJ-certified translator as part of the marriage registration process. The affidavit must first be sworn before a notary or commissioner of oaths — either in the country of origin or at a UAE notary public — then translated. Taw-Theeq handles both in-house.
Yes — and this is one of the most common reasons affidavit translations are rejected. The jurat is the clause that states the affidavit was sworn before a named officer, on a specific date, and in a specific jurisdiction. It is a legally essential part of the affidavit. Taw-Theeq translates the jurat and all sworn declarations in full — never omitted or paraphrased.
Yes. Taw-Theeq provides UAE notary public services in-house. If you need an affidavit drafted and sworn in Dubai — such as an affidavit of single status, affidavit of support, or affidavit of relationship — our notary public handles the swearing in Arabic or English.

For use in Dubai Courts and GDRFA applications, attestation of a foreign affidavit is often not required — the MOJ-certified translation of the original is usually sufficient. For formal registration at the Personal Status Department or for use with some UAE embassies, MOFA attestation may be required. For UAE affidavits being used abroad, MOFA attestation is almost always needed before the foreign authority accepts it. WhatsApp us your affidavit and authority — we confirm the exact requirements.

Final Guidance — Affidavit Translation Dubai

Affidavit translation in Dubai has two requirements that both matter: the affidavit must be sworn before translation, and the translation must be MOJ-certified and complete — including the jurat clause and all sworn declarations. Omitting either step, or getting the order wrong, produces a legally invalid document that courts, embassies, and authorities will reject. The most common mistake is translating before swearing — or omitting the jurat from the translation.

Taw-Theeq provides MOJ-certified affidavit translation for all affidavit types — with notarization also available in-house for new affidavits sworn in Dubai. Same-day available. Free quote and process confirmation on WhatsApp in 1 hour.
