- 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

- 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
Pakistani and Indian residents and businesses with Urdu documents — family records, court papers, property deeds or company documents — need a certified legal translation before submitting them in the UAE. 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
Pakistani Documents: What to Attest First and Where the Urdu Translation Goes
Most of our Urdu work comes from Pakistani families, and their papers follow Pakistan's civil and family-law system. The table shows the usual path for each:
| Document | Issued by | Attest before translating? | Usually submitted to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nikah nama (often handwritten) | Nikah registrar, registered with the union council | Yes; Pakistan MOFA usually wants the NADRA computerized marriage certificate with it | ICP or GDRFA for spouse visas; UAE family courts |
| Family Registration Certificate (FRC) | NADRA | Yes: Pakistan MOFA, then the UAE Embassy in Islamabad | ICP or GDRFA for family sponsorship |
| Birth or divorce certificate | Union council, with the NADRA computerized record | Yes, on the same route | ICP, GDRFA, UAE courts |
| Khula or divorce decree, succession or guardianship order | Family or civil court in Pakistan | Yes | UAE courts and banks |
| School certificate or degree | IBCC for school papers, HEC for degrees | Yes, before Pakistan MOFA | MOHRE, employers, equivalency applications |
Every column of a nikah nama is translated, including wali, witnesses and mahr, and names follow the passport and the NADRA record so the family file reads consistently. The Pakistan Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate General in Dubai handle passports, NADRA services and papers signed in the UAE for use in Pakistan; documents issued in Pakistan are attested there.
IBCC, HEC and Pakistan MOFA: The Order of Steps
Academic papers clear IBCC or HEC first, and personal papers start with the office that issued them. Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs comes next, then the UAE Embassy in Islamabad, where the UAE MOFA attestation is issued electronically at the same time. The Urdu-to-Arabic legal translation is the last step. Our Pakistan document attestation team can take the papers through each stage.
Hindi, Persian and Bengali Alongside Urdu
Some Urdu-speaking households also hold Indian, Afghan or Bangladeshi records. Those go to our Hindi, Persian and Dari and Bengali teams in the same order, with names kept identical.
