Sworn Translation in France

There are two situations for this:

• First, if the French document will be used in Dubai, UAE
• Secondly, if the UAE documents will be used in France.

Here’s how the process works;

UAE documents to be used in France

The UAE is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. This means an apostille alone does not meet French standards. Your documents will undergo full consular legalization to be valid for use in France.

1. Verify the document with the issuing authority in the UAE.
2. Upload your document to LegalTranslator to get a sworn French translation from a Cour d’Appel-registered translator
3. Have the translation certified by the UAE Ministry of Justice.
4. Submit the certified translation for attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).
5. Submit the document for final legalization at the French Embassy in Abu Dhabi, or the French Consulate in Dubai. Afterward, the document is ready for use in France.

French documents to be used in the UAE

France is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. So your document undergoes an apostille process rather than full embassy legalization. Here are the steps involved:

1. Confirm the original French document is complete and valid.
2. Get an apostille from the relevant French Court of Appeal or the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
3. Have the apostilled document translated into Arabic by an MOJ-approved translator in Dubai.
4. Submit the translation for attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
5. Once attested, the document is accepted for use by UAE authorities.
