Al Twar is our biggest team, and the head-office staff who support the other three branches work from this office. If you need a translator for a less common language, or the job is due the same day, message before you set off so the right person is free when you arrive.
Directions to the Arzoo Building
Ask for Al Twar Centre: most taxi drivers in Dubai know it. The Arzoo Building, which many people still call the Sharjah Islamic Bank Building, stands directly beside it on Al Nahda Road. Take the lift to the third floor and look for Office 307.
- From Deira, Al Garhoud or the airport side: head toward Al Qusais and follow the signs for Al Twar Centre.
- From Sharjah: Al Qusais is among the first Dubai districts after the border, so the drive from Al Nahda (Sharjah) or Al Taawun is short outside rush hour.
- By Metro: the Green Line has stations in Al Qusais; finish the trip by taxi or on foot.
- Parking: spaces near Al Twar Centre are in demand on weekday mornings. Allow a few minutes, or WhatsApp the documents ahead so the visit itself is short.
What Is Near Our Dubai Office
The neighbor that matters most is Al Twar Centre, a building with government and semi-government service counters used by residents of north-east Dubai. Each department decides which services it offers there and when, so check its official website or app before you go. Our Al Twar Centre guide lists what to bring.
The practical benefit of being next door: counters that take notary, residency, labor and licensing files usually refuse a foreign document without an Arabic legal translation, and a certificate issued abroad also needs attestation. Customers get that part done at Office 307, check it with us, and walk over with a complete file. Around the office are the residential blocks of Al Qusais, Al Twar and Al Nahda, and Dubai International Airport is a short drive away.
Services at the Al Twar Office, With the Dubai Page for Each
- Legal translation: MOJ-certified legal translators work in 150+ languages for Dubai Courts, ministries, banks and embassies. Details: legal translation in Dubai. To check a translator's registration yourself, read how to verify an MOJ legal translation.
- Certificate attestation: degree, birth, marriage and company documents, with the digital UAE MOFA step and embassy legalization. Details: certificate attestation in Dubai and MOFA attestation.
- Notary support: we draft and translate powers of attorney, affidavits, NOCs and MOUs, then book the notary. Details: notary public Dubai and online notarization in Dubai.
- Business setup and PRO: mainland and free zone companies, license renewals and changes, and government liaison, covered in the next section.
- Visas: family, Golden, employment and investor files for Dubai residents, covered further down.
Business Setup Next to Al Twar Centre
Company paperwork is a large share of the Dubai office's work. Mainland licenses are issued by the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), and each change to a license (a new partner, a new activity, a renewal) brings documents that must be drafted, translated, notarized or attested before DET or a free zone authority accepts them. The Al Twar team prepares that full file:
- new mainland and free zone companies, from choosing the activity to license issue: business setup and trade license in Dubai
- yearly renewals (trade license renewal) and changes of partners, activities or trade name (trade license amendment)
- MOAs and board resolutions drafted in Arabic and English, with the notary appointment arranged for every signatory
- a local service agent where the structure needs one, and a virtual office with Ejari
- ongoing government liaison with DET, MOHRE and GDRFA through our PRO services in Dubai
For owners who live in Sharjah or north-east Dubai, signing drafts and handing over originals in Al Qusais is often quicker than a trip to the business districts further south.
Visa and Residence Services at Our Al Twar Office
For people who live in Dubai, residence visas go through the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs Dubai (GDRFA). The other emirates use the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP); our ICP vs GDRFA guide explains the split. From Al Twar we prepare and file:
- family sponsorship: family visa, spouse visa and newborn baby visa
- Golden visa applications, with the attested and translated documents they rely on
- residence visa renewal, visa cancellation and status change
- Emirates ID applications and renewals, with the medical test and biometrics appointments booked for you
A visa application is only as strong as the papers behind it. A spouse visa needs an attested, translated marriage certificate; an employment visa often needs an attested degree. Preparing those papers and the application in the same office removes the usual back-and-forth.
