Basic Translation Support — Clear Arabic/English Translations for UAE Documents
Affordable, people-first translation support for everyday personal and visa documents across the UAE, with clear guidance on attestation and submission.
Overview
AL SAHRAA’s Basic Translation Support focuses on accurate, plain-language translations for common personal and visa documents — passports, ID copies, birth/marriage certificates, tenancy contracts, medical and educational records. We translate primarily between Arabic and English and provide clear guidance on next steps for attestation or use with UAE authorities. Our service is designed for straightforward documents where literal and contextual clarity matters. We check names, dates, and official stamps, format the output for easy submission, and flag any issues that may require certified/legal translation or further verification. Turnaround depends on document length and volume; small documents are typically delivered within 24–72 hours. We do not provide legalisation or embassy attestation as part of the basic package but will guide you through the attestation path or refer our premium/legal translation options if required. Confidentiality and accuracy are priorities: we handle personal data with care, use professional translators, and ensure translations are formatted for UAE procedures and visa applications when applicable.

Frequently asked questions
Which languages do you translate?
We focus on Arabic and English for basic translation; for other languages we can refer trusted partners or upgrade to a specialized service.
Is translated text legally certified for UAE authorities?
Basic translations are suitable for many administrative and visa-related submissions, but some authorities require certified or notarized translations; we will advise if legalisation is likely needed.
How long does a typical translation take?
Small documents are usually completed within 24–72 hours; larger or multiple documents require a tailored timeline provided with your quote.
How do you protect my personal information?
We treat documents confidentially, restrict access to professional translators, and delete files according to your instruction after delivery.
Can you format translations for visa applications?
Yes — we format translations to match typical UAE submission requirements and highlight any elements that may need certification or attestation.
