Chinese Legal Translation in Dubai

Wordcraft provides MOJ-certified Chinese legal translation in Dubai — trusted by clients needing a certified Chinese translator and Mandarin translation services in the UAE. Our certified Chinese translators handle contracts, certificates, court documents and powers of attorney with full accuracy, and our translations are accepted by UAE courts, the Ministry of Justice, government departments and embassies. We translate both Simplified and Traditional Chinese (Mandarin).

Why Choose a Certified Chinese Legal Translator

Legal documents demand precise terminology. A single mistranslation can invalidate a contract or delay a court case. Our Chinese legal translators are licensed by the UAE Ministry of Justice (MOJ), so every translation is accepted the first time.

Chinese Documents We Translate

Contracts, agreements and company documents
Court judgments and legal notices
Powers of attorney (POA)
Birth, marriage, divorce and death certificates
Degree, diploma and experience certificates
Passports, ID and residence documents
Medical and insurance reports

Documents You Need

A clear scan or photo of every page of your Chinese document — front and back, including stamps, seals and any handwritten notes
A copy of your passport, so names are spelled exactly as they appear in it
The name of the authority that will receive the translation (court, ministry, embassy, bank, school or free zone), so we format it to that authority's requirements
Your preferred English spelling of names and places, if you already use one in other official papers
The original document, kept ready — some authorities ask to see it alongside the certified translation

Chinese Documents: Who Issues Them, What to Attest and Who Receives the Translation

Our Chinese clients are mostly traders and manufacturers around Dragon Mart and International City, plus corporate staff and their families. Their papers follow the Chinese system, where civil records usually reach the UAE as notarial certificates:

Document	Issued by	Attest before translating?	Usually submitted to
Notarial certificate (公证书) for birth, marriage, kinship, no criminal record or a degree	Chinese notary office	Yes: foreign affairs authority, then the UAE mission in China	ICP or GDRFA, UAE courts, schools, employers
Business license (营业执照), articles and board resolutions	Local market regulation authority; the company for resolutions	Yes, usually through a notary first	DET, free zones, banks
Household register (hukou) extract	Public security bureau	Yes, normally as a notarial certificate	Family and residence files
Contracts and invoices	The companies involved	Not always; a UAE court or bank may ask for it	UAE courts in trade disputes, banks
Driving license	Traffic police of the issuing province	Usually not; RTA asks for a legal translation with the original	RTA and other licensing authorities

We translate from Simplified and Traditional Chinese and keep Pinyin names exactly as in the passport. The Chinese Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate General in Dubai handle Chinese passports and papers signed in the UAE; certificates issued in China are notarized and authenticated there.

Notary, Foreign Affairs Office, UAE Mission: China's Route

A Chinese record is notarized, then authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or an authorized provincial foreign affairs office, and then taken to the UAE Embassy in Beijing or a UAE consulate in China; that single stop now also produces the digital UAE MOFA attestation. China joined the Apostille Convention in 2023, but the UAE has not, so the UAE mission step remains. The Arabic translation then covers the notarial certificate and every stamp. See China certificate attestation.

When a Chinese File Includes Other Languages

Trading companies often send contracts with Russian or Persian counterparties, and staff families may hold Filipino records. Those can go to our Russian, Persian and Tagalog teams under the same order.
