Certified translation and document legalisation in the UAE

Malayalam translation services in the UAE

Kerala sends more people to the UAE than any other Indian state, and its documents come with a state-level attestation step that trips people up when they assume the national route is enough.

Educational certificates from Kerala generally need Kerala HRD or university verification before MEA will authenticate them, and Norka-Roots handles a good deal of the state-level processing. Personal certificates take a different path through the Home Department. The distinction is invisible on the document itself, so files routinely arrive at MEA and are turned away for missing the state step.

On the language side, Malayalam civil records are dense with village, taluk and district names that have no standard Romanisation, and older certificates use the Malayalam Era alongside the Gregorian calendar. Getting the place names to match what appears on a passport or an earlier UAE record matters, because a mismatch between two documents in the same file is treated as a discrepancy rather than a spelling variant.

Questions we are asked

Does my Kerala degree need state attestation before MEA?

Usually yes — Kerala HRD or the issuing university, depending on the qualification. MEA will decline a certificate that has not been verified at state level, so it is worth confirming before anything is posted.

My certificate uses the Malayalam Era. How is that handled?

We give the Gregorian equivalent with the original date retained in brackets, so the translation can be checked against the source without creating an apparent discrepancy.

Can you handle nursing qualifications for DHA or MOHAP licensing?

Yes, including mark lists, registration certificates and experience letters. Tell us the licensing authority so we assemble the combination it asks for.
