Russian Legal Translation in Dubai

Wordcraft provides MOJ-certified Russian legal translation in Dubai — for certified Russian legal translation of contracts, certificates and court documents. Our certified Russian 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.

Why Choose a Certified Russian Legal Translator

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

Russian 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 Russian 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

Translation and review — a legal translator translates your Russian 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.

Russian and CIS Documents: Issuer, Attestation and Receiving Office

Russian-speaking clients come from Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and other CIS states, and many are property buyers, investors and company founders. Their documents usually look like this:

Document	Issued by	Attest before translating?	Usually submitted to
Power of attorney for property or a company	Notary in Russia or another CIS state	Yes, in the issuing country and then at the UAE embassy there	Dubai Land Department, developers, banks, UAE courts
Birth, marriage, divorce or name-change certificate, including Soviet-era copies	Civil registry office (ZAGS)	Yes	ICP or GDRFA for family visas; UAE courts
Company charter or EGRUL register extract	Company founders; Russia's Federal Tax Service for the extract	Yes	DET, free zones, banks
Diploma with its supplement	University	Yes	Equivalency applications, professional licensing
Driving license	Traffic police of the issuing country	Usually not; RTA asks for a legal translation with the original	RTA and other emirate licensing authorities
Bank reference or source-of-funds letter	The bank	Depends on the UAE bank or authority	UAE banks, Golden Visa files

Cyrillic names follow the international passport, so one buyer does not appear under three spellings in a property file. Russian citizens use the Russian Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate General in Dubai for passports and papers signed here, and other CIS nationals use their own missions. Ukrainian papers are covered on our Ukrainian legal translation page.

Legalizing Russian and CIS Papers for the UAE

Russia and most CIS states issue apostilles, which the UAE does not accept in place of legalization. Papers are authenticated by the competent authorities at home, including the foreign ministry, and then by the UAE embassy for that country; its digital certificate now covers the UAE MOFA step too. A power of attorney signed abroad normally starts with a local notary. The Arabic legal translation is made last. See Russia certificate attestation or embassy attestation for other CIS countries.

Ukrainian, Uzbek and Turkish Documents in the Same File

Investors from the region often hold papers in more than one language. We translate Ukrainian, Uzbek and Turkish documents alongside Russian ones, with one spelling per name across the set.
