Certified translation in Sharjah
A certified translation carries a signed statement that it is a complete and accurate rendering of the original. It is what immigration authorities, universities, licensing bodies and employers ask for when they say a translation must be "official".
Working in Sharjah
Sharjah houses a large share of the country's resident families, many of whom work in Dubai and handle their personal paperwork close to home. Birth certificates, school records, marriage documents and family visa files are the steady core of what we do here.
On the commercial side, Hamriyah Free Zone and SAIF Zone generate a constant flow of trade documentation — certificates of origin, commercial invoices, supply agreements — that needs certified translation and legalisation before it reaches a buyer or a bank abroad. Sharjah's university cluster adds a steady stream of transcript and degree attestation work.
Certified translation
Requirements differ by the body receiving the document, not by the country it came from. A UK university may accept a translation certified by any professional translator; a UAE residency application will not. We ask who the document is going to before we quote, and we certify to that recipient's standard rather than to a generic one.
Personal documents are the bulk of this work: birth, marriage and death certificates, divorce decrees, police clearance certificates, academic transcripts and diplomas, driving licences, bank statements, medical reports and vaccination records. Each is delivered as a signed PDF for immediate filing, with hard copies couriered where the receiving body insists on wet ink.
If the same certificate will be used in more than one country, say so. We can certify once and produce additional issued copies later without re-translating, which is materially cheaper than starting again.

Questions we are asked
What makes a translation "certified"?
A signed certificate of accuracy attached to the translation, naming the translator or agency and confirming the translation is complete and faithful to the original. We add the stamps and licence details the receiving authority expects.
Do you need the original document?
For most certified translations a clear scan is enough. Legalisation and attestation are different — those usually require the physical original or a certified true copy.
Will a certified translation be accepted outside the UAE?
Usually, though some countries add their own requirement such as a sworn translator registered locally. Tell us the destination country and we will confirm before you pay.
Can I get extra copies later?
Yes. We retain your file and can issue additional certified copies without re-translating.
Do you serve clients in Sharjah?
Yes. We handle Certified translation for clients in Sharjah, with collection and delivery in Al Majaz, Al Nahda, Al Qasimia, Muwailih. Send a scan of the document and we will come back with a fixed price and a realistic date.
