Documents You Need
- A clear scan or photo of every page of your 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
- Any earlier translation or attestation stamps on the document, so names and terms stay consistent
- The original document, kept ready — some authorities ask to see it alongside the certified translation
How It Works — Step by Step
- Send your document on WhatsApp or email, or drop it at our Abu Dhabi office or any of our four offices — Dubai HQ (Al Twar), Abu Dhabi, Sharjah or Ras Al Khaimah.
- Get a free quote within 10–30 minutes confirming the language pair, the receiving authority and the delivery time — before any work starts.
- Translation and review — a legal translator translates your document and a second linguist proofreads it.
- Certification — the translation is stamped and signed by an MOJ-licensed legal translator.
- Collection or free delivery — pick it up from our office or use our free pickup and delivery. If the receiving authority asks for it, we can also arrange notarization or MOFA attestation.
Who Needs This Service

- Residence, family-visa and Golden Visa applications
- Court cases, police matters and legal notices
- Property transfers, tenancy contracts and bank requirements
- Company formation, MOAs and commercial contracts
- School admission and certificate equivalency

Legal translation for Abu Dhabi authorities
Abu Dhabi has its own judicial system, the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD), and many transactions run through the TAMM platform. The Hamdan Street team knows how these authorities expect names, stamps and court terms to appear, which matters for court filings, family cases, power-of-attorney drafts and company documents for the Abu Dhabi licensing authority. Tell us who will receive the translation and we format it for them.
Visiting the tower
You will find us in central Abu Dhabi, up on the 17th floor of Al Ghaith Tower (Office 1760). Most Abu Dhabi customers never come in, though. They send a photo on WhatsApp, get a written quote in 10–30 minutes, pay by secure link and receive the translation as a final file online. If we need the original, we collect it free and agree the collection slot for your area when you order.
Arabic–English is the most common pair at Hamdan Street, but the office also handles Urdu, Hindi, Malayalam, Tagalog, French, Russian, Chinese and the rest of our 150+ languages. Every certified translation carries the stamp and signature of an MOJ-certified legal translator, the first thing Abu Dhabi courts and departments look for.
Directions, the areas we cover and the office's 129 Google reviews are on the Abu Dhabi Hamdan Street office page.
Documents our Hamdan Street translators handle most
- Court judgments, statements of claim and family-court papers for ADJD
- Birth, marriage and divorce certificates for family residency files
- Degree certificates and transcripts for equivalency and school admissions
- MOAs, board resolutions and commercial contracts for Abu Dhabi companies
- Medical reports and insurance documents
When the translated document also needs notarization or MOFA attestation, the same Abu Dhabi team arranges it, so one office handles the file from start to finish.
Local Authorities That Accept Our Translations in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi runs its own judicial department and its own licensing bodies, and each one receives translated documents in its own way. Our Hamdan Street team prepares translations for these offices every week:
| Authority | Documents we translate for it | Working language |
|---|---|---|
| Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) courts and notaries | Judgments, pleadings, powers of attorney, contracts | Arabic |
| ADGM Courts | Arabic documents that must be filed in English | English |
| Abu Dhabi Police, including traffic licensing | Foreign driving licenses, police reports | Arabic |
| Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) and schools | School records, transfer certificates | Arabic or English, as the school asks |
| Department of Health (DOH) | Degrees, transcripts and experience letters for professional licensing | As the licensing file requires |
| ICP, banks and free zones | Residence and family visa papers, statements, company documents | Mostly Arabic |
Many of these applications start on the TAMM platform, and each authority confirms its rules when you apply. Tell us who will receive the document and we prepare it in that office's format. Directions to the office are on our Abu Dhabi branch page.
Arabic to English Translation in Abu Dhabi
Arabic to English translation in Abu Dhabi is mostly about UAE documents leaving the country. A foreign lawyer or insurer wants an Abu Dhabi judgment or police report in English; a bank abroad wants the Arabic tenancy contract or title deed; an embassy wants the UAE birth or marriage certificate; a visa officer in another country wants the Arabic salary certificate. Our MOJ-licensed legal translators work in both directions with the same certification, so the English version is accepted by UAE offices and can go on to MOFA attestation if it will be used abroad. The Arabic ↔ English legal translation page covers this pair in detail.
Most Requested Documents in Abu Dhabi
Government employers, energy companies and hospitals shape what Abu Dhabi residents bring us. Licensing and family files dominate:
- Degree certificates and transcripts for DOH licensing, teaching posts and equivalency
- Birth certificates and marriage certificates when a family joins a sponsor in the capital
- Foreign driving licenses for Abu Dhabi Police traffic licensing
- ADJD judgments, police reports and evidence
- Employment, tenancy and supply contracts, and medical reports for insurers and employers
The full list sits on the document translation page.
More Questions About Legal Translation in Abu Dhabi
Can I use a translation from your Abu Dhabi office at a Dubai court or authority?
Yes. The stamp of an MOJ-licensed legal translator is recognized across the UAE, whichever branch prepared the translation. The receiving office still confirms its own requirements.
Do you translate for ADGM in English?
Yes. Arabic documents go into English for ADGM filings and transactions, and English documents go into Arabic for the onshore Abu Dhabi courts.
Do you serve Al Ain and Al Dhafra?
There is no Wordcraft office in Al Ain or Al Dhafra. Customers there order from the Hamdan Street branch, mostly online. Free collection does not cover Al Ain or Al Dhafra, so originals come to us by courier or at the Abu Dhabi office, and we confirm the options in your quote.

Do you translate documents for DOH licensing?
Yes, mainly degrees, transcripts, experience letters and good-standing certificates. DOH sets the licensing requirements, so check your application checklist; we match the translation to it.
Can you translate Abu Dhabi documents into languages other than English?
Yes. Arabic judgments, certificates and contracts can be translated into 150+ languages, for example Urdu or Malayalam for a family back home, or French for a European authority.
