Moving to the UAE for work, family, or residence? Before your Nepali documents — academic degree, marriage certificate, birth certificate, or experience letter — can be used in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Sharjah, they usually need to be in English, notarized, and then put through the attestation chain. Translation Nepal (operated by Notary Nepal Pvt. Ltd.) handles the Nepal-side first step: accurate Nepali-to-English translation and notarization, prepared correctly so the rest of your UAE process goes smoothly.
Where translation and notarization fit in the UAE process
A typical UAE document journey looks like this:
- Translation to English + notarization in Nepal — this is what we do.
- Attestation by Nepal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) — handled by you or an attestation agent (not our service).
- UAE Embassy attestation, then UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation — also external.
- Legal Arabic translation by a UAE Ministry of Justice–licensed legal translator, inside the UAE.
Getting step 1 right matters: a clean, accurate, properly notarized English translation prevents rejections further down the chain.

Frequently Asked Questions
