Marriage Certificate Translation for UAE Residency Visas

Marriage Certificate Translation for UAE Residency Visas

Sponsoring your spouse for a UAE residency visa requires a valid marriage certificate. If your certificate was issued outside the UAE in a language other than Arabic, it must go through a strict attestation and translation process.

Why Translation is Mandatory

The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) deals only with documents in Arabic. A certified translation verifies that the marriage is legally recognized in the country of origin.

The Process

• Home Country Attestation: Ministry of Foreign Affairs in your country.
• UAE Embassy: Attestation at the UAE mission abroad.
• MOFA UAE: Final stamp within the UAE.
• Legal Translation: Translation into Arabic by a sworn translator.

We ensure your marriage certificate translation meets all GDRFA standards for a smooth visa application process.
