|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Authentication of a document for official use | Conversion of document content from one language to another |
| Applies to | Certificates and other official documents | Certificates and documents requiring translation |
| Process | May involve issuing-country authorities, embassy or consular authorities, and UAE authorities | Translation by an appropriately qualified translator |
| Common examples | Degree, birth, marriage, commercial certificates | Degree, birth, marriage, academic and personal certificates |
