Documents You Need

A clear scan or photo of every page of your Tagalog / Filipino 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 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 Tagalog / Filipino 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.

Who Needs This Service

Filipino residents, their families and the companies that employ them need certified translations whenever a Tagalog or Filipino document goes to a UAE authority. Typical cases:

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

Documents Specific to Tagalog & Filipino Speakers

Most Philippine civil documents from the PSA (Philippine Statistics Authority) are issued in English, so many Filipino customers do not need Tagalog translation for them. What they need most is the other direction and the documents that are genuinely in Filipino:

UAE Arabic documents into English for the Philippine Embassy and the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) and its Migrant Workers Office: labor court papers, police reports, death certificates, UAE marriage contracts and birth certificates of children born in the UAE
Tagalog affidavits and sworn statements for UAE courts and police
Barangay clearances and certifications that include Filipino text
PSA certificates into Arabic when a UAE court or authority specifically asks for Arabic

We keep Filipino naming conventions intact, including the middle name (the mother's maiden surname), which is often dropped by mistake.

PSA, CHED and DFA: Authenticating Philippine Papers for the UAE

Civil records are ordered from the PSA, and academic records go through CHED or the relevant education authority where needed. DFA authentication follows (red ribbons ended in 2019), and then the UAE Embassy in Manila, whose legalization now includes a digital UAE MOFA attestation. Because PSA certificates are in English, an Arabic translation is added only when the UAE office asks for one. Philippine document attestation covers each step.

Filipino residents often need UAE Arabic papers rendered in English first; see Arabic to English legal translation. Mixed households with Chinese or Bengali records can add Chinese or Bengali translation to the same order.
