What is legal translation in the UAE?

Legal translation is the official rendering of a document from one language into another by a translator sworn in by the UAE Ministry of Justice. The translator stamps and signs every page, attaching their MOJ licence number — this turns the translation into a legally valid version of the original. UAE courts, notaries, MOFA, embassies and government departments only accept translations carrying a valid MOJ stamp; uncertified or in-house translations are routinely rejected. Benchmark works with MOJ-licensed translators across all major language pairs and handles certificates, contracts, court rulings, medical reports, financial statements and more.
