Ukrainian Legal Translation in Dubai

Ukrainian legal translation in Dubai is the certified translation of Ukrainian documents, such as birth and marriage certificates, extracts from the civil status register, diplomas with their supplements and driving licenses, into Arabic or English for UAE visas, courts, notaries and licensing bodies. Wordcraft's native Ukrainian linguists translate them, and an MOJ-licensed legal translator certifies each translation.

Certificate or Register Extract: What Ukrainian Registry Offices Issue

Ukraine's civil registry (DRACS) offices issue a certificate (svidotstvo) when a birth, marriage or death is registered, and can later issue an extract (vytiah) from the State Register of Civil Status Acts. The extract reflects the record as it stands now, so it can show changes the original certificate does not, such as a later change of name. Families often bring both. We translate whichever you have, and if an extract and a certificate disagree, we point it out before you submit anything.

Ukrainian Legal Translation in Dubai: Common Documents

• Birth, marriage, divorce, name-change and death certificates, plus register extracts
• Diplomas with the diploma supplement (dodatok), for equivalency and professional licensing; see degree certificate translation
• Driving licenses for RTA or another emirate's licensing authority; see driving license translation
• Powers of attorney signed before a Ukrainian notary for property or company matters
• Company registry extracts and charters for UAE company setup and bank files
• UAE Arabic documents into Ukrainian, such as a marriage contract or a UAE-issued birth certificate for registration in Ukraine

Oleksandr or Alexander: Keeping Cyrillic Names Consistent

One Ukrainian name can reach Latin letters as Oleksandr, Olexandr or Alexander, and surname endings shift in the same way. UAE authorities compare each translation with the passport and Emirates ID, so one letter out of place can hold up a visa or bank file. We take spellings from your international passport, use Ukraine's official transliteration for relatives whose passports we do not have, and tell you which spelling we chose. The Arabic spelling follows the one already on your UAE records.

Soviet-Era Records Written in Russian

Certificates issued before the early 1990s are frequently in Russian, or in Russian and Ukrainian together. We translate them in the same order as your newer Ukrainian papers, so a parent's Russian-language certificate and a child's Ukrainian one carry the family name identically. Files that are entirely in Russian can also go to our Russian legal translation team.

Apostilled in Ukraine, Used in the UAE

Ukraine issues apostilles, but the UAE is outside the Hague Apostille Convention, so a Ukrainian apostille on its own does not make a document usable here. The paper needs UAE legalization, and the practical route for Ukrainian documents has changed more than once in recent years. Our Ukraine certificate attestation team checks the current route when you send the document, and the Arabic translation follows once legalization is complete.
