Certified Legal Translation Services in Sharjah
Our Sharjah legal translators are licensed by the UAE Ministry of Justice (MOJ). In Arabic, English or 150+ other languages, your documents are prepared to official standards and checked by a second linguist before delivery.
Certified Translation in Sharjah: What Makes It Official
In Sharjah, a “certified” or “legal” translation is a complete translation stamped and signed by a legal translator licensed by the UAE Ministry of Justice, which runs the legal translator registration service. The stamp is what Sharjah courts, the notary and government departments look for. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs applies a similar rule to attestation: the original document should be in Arabic or English, or accompanied by a legally certified translation.
For a document issued abroad, the usual order is attestation of the original first, then the certified translation, then notarization if the transaction needs it. Wordcraft translates, submits the MOFA attestation for you and prepares the file for the notary. We are not a notary and not a government office.

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 Sharjah 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 delivery — pick it up from our office or use our pickup and delivery service. If the receiving authority asks for it, we can also arrange notarization or MOFA attestation.
How Long Each Step Takes
Only the authorities can promise their own processing times, so this table quotes a time only where an official source states one.
| Step | Who does it | Typical time |
|---|---|---|
| Quote: language pair, receiving authority and deadline | Wordcraft Sharjah (Al Majaz) | Depends on how many documents you send; we confirm the timing in writing before work starts |
| Legal translation and second-linguist review | Wordcraft’s MOJ-certified legal translators | Depends on length, language pair and the terms in the document. Tell us your deadline and we confirm what is possible before we start |
| MOFA attestation (if needed) | Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Wordcraft submits | Depends on the document’s route and MOFA’s published service times |
| Notarizing a power of attorney, contract or declaration online with the Sharjah judiciary (if needed) | Sharjah Judicial Department notary; you sign with UAE PASS; Wordcraft prepares the file | The Sharjah Judiciary Platform lists a service completion time of 1 day for “Writing and authentication of contracts and deeds” |
| Filing with the court, a department, a school or a bank | You or your lawyer | Set by the receiving office |
Documents You Need, by Case
| Your case | What to send us | Good to know |
|---|---|---|

Legal translation for Sharjah authorities
Sharjah has its own courts and local departments, and each has its own expectations for how a translation should look. The Al Majaz team regularly prepares Arabic legal translations for:
- Sharjah Courts, the Sharjah Courts notary and the MOJ notary: powers of attorney, affidavits, judgments and case documents
- Schools and the Sharjah education authorities: transcripts, transfer letters and certificates for admissions
- Sharjah Economic Development Department (SEDD) and Sharjah free zones: MOAs, board resolutions and license documents
- Banks, employers and embassies: salary certificates, statements and personal documents
Serving Sharjah and Ajman
Walk-in customers mostly come from Al Majaz, Al Taawun, Al Khan, Al Nahda, Al Qasimia and Rolla. There is no Wordcraft office in Ajman, so Ajman residents are served from Al Majaz and we arrange collection of originals when you order. Everything can also be done online: a WhatsApp photo, a written quote in 10–30 minutes, a secure payment link and the translation delivered as a final file.
The Al Majaz branch offers every Wordcraft service, company formation and PRO work included, so a Sharjah file can often be finished in a single order, with the translation, the attestation and, where needed, the notary appointment prepared together.
Directions, the areas we serve and the branch's 54 Google reviews are on the Sharjah Al Majaz office page.
Attestation after translation
Many Sharjah customers need a certificate both attested and translated, for example a degree for a teaching job at a Sharjah school or a marriage certificate for a family visa. The Al Majaz team handles both steps in one order; see certificate attestation in Sharjah for how the embassy and digital MOFA steps work.
Legal Translation Services in Sharjah: Where Our Translations Are Used
Our legal translation services in Sharjah mostly serve people dealing with the emirate's courts, police and government departments. Sharjah's onshore courts work in Arabic, so an English or Urdu document filed in a case there needs an Arabic translation stamped by an MOJ-licensed legal translator. This is where our Sharjah translations usually go:
| Receiving office | What we translate for it | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Sharjah Courts and the Public Prosecution | Judgments, pleadings, police reports and evidence in civil, labor, family and criminal cases | Every page is translated, including stamps and handwritten notes |
| Notary public (Sharjah Courts notary and the MOJ notary) | Powers of attorney, declarations, contracts signed by people who do not read Arabic | Names must match the passport letter for letter |
| Sharjah Police licensing | Foreign driving licenses issued in a language other than Arabic or English | The translation is attached to a copy of the license |
| Sharjah Private Education Authority (SPEA) and schools | Report cards, transfer certificates, school leaving certificates | Some schools also ask for the original to be attested |
| Sharjah Economic Development Department (SEDD) and Sharjah free zones | Trade licenses, memoranda of association, board resolutions, contracts | Company and partner names are copied exactly from the license |
| ICP residency services | Birth and marriage certificates for family visas and Emirates ID files | Certificates from abroad are attested before we translate them |
Requirements belong to each office and can change without much notice. Name the office when you send the document and we format the translation for it.
Sharjah’s Own Judiciary: What the Official Platform Shows
Sharjah runs its own judiciary. The Sharjah Judiciary Platform (sjd.ae) brings together the Judicial Council, the Judicial Department and the Public Prosecution, and it is where most court and notary requests now start. Points that matter for translation, from the platform as read in October 2026:
| What you are doing | What the platform lists | Where translation fits |
|---|---|---|
| Filing a case | Online registration of civil, commercial, labor, rental-dispute and company-dispute lawsuits, plus mediation and reconciliation requests | Foreign-language contracts, letters and evidence are translated into Arabic before they are attached |
| Enforcing a foreign judgment | A separate service to register a lawsuit for the enforcement of a foreign judgment | The foreign judgment is usually translated in full, stamps included |
| Notarizing a POA, contract, declaration or waiver | “Writing and authentication of contracts and deeds”: log in with UAE PASS, submit, pay the fees and sign digitally to receive the approved document | Supporting papers in another language are translated; we draft the deed in Arabic and English |
| Family matters | A Digital Family Court package and Smart Family services | Marriage, divorce and birth certificates from abroad are attested and translated |
The platform describes the service; your lawyer or the court decides what a particular case needs. Read the notary service in full on the Sharjah Judiciary Platform, and see our notary public in Sharjah page for how we prepare the deed.
Most Requested Documents in Sharjah
Sharjah is a city of families and small businesses, and the documents that cross our Al Majaz counter reflect that:
- Birth certificates for a newborn's residence visa or a school place, and marriage certificates for spouse sponsorship
- Driving licenses from abroad before a Sharjah Police license file
- Degrees and transcripts for teachers joining Sharjah schools and for equivalency
- Judgments, police reports and evidence in Sharjah court cases
- Tenancy and commercial contracts and company documents for SEDD and free zone files

Serving Ajman and Sharjah Residents Who Work in Dubai
Plenty of our Sharjah customers live in Sharjah, work in Dubai and need a translation for an office in either emirate. That is not a problem: a translation stamped by an MOJ-licensed legal translator is used across the UAE, so you can order at Al Majaz for a Dubai court or school and collect it wherever suits you. Ajman has no Wordcraft office. Ajman residents use the Sharjah branch in person or online, and we can arrange collection and return of originals when you order. Directions and the areas we cover are on the Sharjah branch page.
What Decides the Cost
We do not publish fixed prices, because two Sharjah files are rarely the same. The cost of a legal translation depends on:
- The language pair (Arabic–English or one of our 150+ other languages)
- The length of the document and how many pages carry stamps, tables or handwriting
- The subject matter, such as a court judgment, a commercial contract or a medical report
- Your deadline
- Whether the file also needs MOFA attestation or notarization, and how many certified copies you need
Government fees, such as MOFA or notary fees, are payable at cost. We confirm the exact fee and our service charge in writing before any work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a legal translation office in Sharjah?

Is your Sharjah legal translation MOJ-certified?
Yes. All Wordcraft legal translations in Sharjah are certified by the UAE Ministry of Justice (MOJ) and accepted by courts, government and notaries.
How fast is legal translation in Sharjah?
Timing depends on the document and its length — tell us your deadline and we confirm what is possible before we start.
What is a certified legal translation in Sharjah?
It is a complete translation stamped and signed by a legal translator licensed by the UAE Ministry of Justice. That stamp is what Sharjah courts, the notary and government departments look for. Wordcraft’s Sharjah translations are MOJ-certified and prepared in the format the receiving office expects, with a second linguist checking every file before delivery.
Do Sharjah courts accept documents in English?
Sharjah’s courts work in Arabic, so English and other foreign-language papers filed in a case usually need a certified Arabic translation. Your lawyer or the court confirms exactly which papers must be translated. We translate every page, including stamps and handwritten notes, so the Arabic version matches the original.
Can I notarize a power of attorney online in Sharjah?
Yes. The Sharjah Judiciary Platform offers “Writing and authentication of contracts and deeds” for powers of attorney, contracts, declarations and waivers: you log in with UAE PASS, submit the request, pay the fees and sign digitally. We draft the deed in Arabic and English and translate the supporting papers first.
Does a foreign document need attestation before translation?
Usually, yes. A certificate or contract issued abroad is normally attested first, then translated, then notarized if the transaction needs it. For its own attestation service, MOFA asks for the original in Arabic or English, or accompanied by a legally certified translation. We tell you the right order in your quote.
Can you translate a foreign judgment for enforcement in Sharjah?
Yes. The Sharjah Judiciary Platform lists a separate service for registering a lawsuit to enforce a foreign judgment. Your lawyer confirms which papers to file; we translate the judgment and its certificates into Arabic in full, and can arrange attestation when the file needs it.
Do you have an office in Ajman?
No. Wordcraft has no office in Ajman. Ajman customers are served from our Sharjah office in Business Tower, Al Majaz 2, in person or online: send photos on WhatsApp, approve the written quote and receive the certified translation as a final file. We agree any collection of originals when you order.
How much does legal translation cost in Sharjah?
It depends on the language pair, the length of the document, the subject matter, your deadline and whether you also need attestation or notarization. Government fees are payable at cost. We confirm the exact fee and our service charge in writing before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
What do I need to send to get a quote?
Send clear scans or photos of every page, front and back, including stamps and handwriting. Add a passport copy so names match exactly, the name of the authority that will receive the translation, and your deadline. With that, the Al Majaz team confirms the language pair, format, timing and cost in writing.
