In Dubai’s thriving real-estate market, legal translation plays a critical role in ensuring clarity, compliance, and confidence for all parties involved. Whether you’re buying, selling, or leasing property — accurate and MOJ (Ministry of Justice) and MOFAIC (Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation) approved translation is not just a convenience; it’s a legal necessity.
At Al-Hamd Legal Translation L.L.C, we specialize in real-estate translation services that empower both local and international clients to execute property transactions without risk or delay. From tenancy contracts to sales agreements and power of attorney (POA) documents, our certified translators guarantee precision and authenticity every step of the way.
Dubai’s property laws mandate that all official documents — especially those submitted to Dubai Land Department (DLD), Notary Public, or government entities — must be in Arabic. Any discrepancy or mistranslation can result in:
Delayed approvals
Rejected applications
Legal disputes or financial losses
A property buyer once submitted an English-only sales agreement for title transfer. The DLD returned it, requesting an Arabic legal translation certified by an approved translation office. This simple oversight delayed the transaction by three weeks — and cost additional administrative fees.
Key takeaway: A professional translation partner like Al-Hamd Legal Translation can prevent such costly delays and protect your legal rights.
| Document Type | Purpose | Common Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Tenancy Contract (Ejari) | For renting property and Ejari registration | Must be in Arabic for DLD submission |
| Sales & Purchase Agreement (SPA) | Defines property sale terms | Required for title deed processing |
| Power of Attorney (POA) | Authorizes someone to act on your behalf | Must be notarized and legally translated |
| Title Deed / Ownership Certificate | Proof of property ownership | Required for resale or inheritance |
| No Objection Certificate (NOC) | Developer’s clearance for property transfer | Needs translation for submission |

End-to-End Support
From document collection to government attestation, Al-Hamd handles everything.
Even minor errors can cause major delays. Here are the top translation mistakes that often lead to document rejection:
Literal Translation of Legal Phrases
Translators without legal expertise often misinterpret property clauses, altering their legal intent.
Formatting Errors
Improper document layout or seal placement can make translations unacceptable by official departments.
Uncertified Translators
Submitting translations from non-licensed translators leads to immediate rejection by authorities.
Mismatched Names and Numbers
Small inconsistencies in spellings, passport numbers, or land plot details create major verification issues.
Al-Hamd’s solution: Every document undergoes triple-level proofreading and verification before submission — ensuring 100% approval by relevant UAE authorities.
A Power of Attorney (POA) is a crucial legal instrument in property dealings, allowing another person to represent you in buying, selling, or managing real estate.
If the POA is issued in a foreign language, it must be translated into Arabic and attested by the UAE Embassy, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a licensed legal translation office.
An overseas investor issues a POA in English to authorize a broker to sell their Dubai apartment. Without a MOFA-attested Arabic translation, the Notary Public cannot accept the document.
That’s where Al-Hamd Legal Translation ensures seamless processing — from translation to attestation and submission.
Always use MOJ-licensed translation offices.
Ensure Arabic and English versions match word-for-word.
Double-check names, passport numbers, and plot details.
Don’t use machine translation for legal or official documents.
