Police Clearance Certificate Translation

Standard PCC translation costs AED 150 for MOJ-certified legal translation from any language to Arabic or English. Express same-day and urgent 1-hour delivery are available at additional cost. This covers a standard single-page PCC.

Most UAE authorities accept PCCs that are less than 3-6 months old from the date of issue. MOHRE typically requires a PCC issued within the last 3 months. For Golden Visa applications, check the specific validity requirement. The translation remains valid as long as the original PCC is valid.

MOHRE requires a police clearance certificate from your country of last residence for most employment visa applications. This applies to applicants from all countries. Some free zones also require PCCs. The PCC must be translated into Arabic if issued in another language.

Yes, most UAE authorities require an attested PCC. If from a Hague Convention member country (India, UK, USA, Philippines, Canada), it can be apostilled. For non-Hague countries (Pakistan), it requires embassy attestation followed by MOFA attestation.

Yes. The Golden Visa application requires a translated PCC from your country of nationality or last country of residence. The translation must be MOJ-certified. Government fees for Golden Visa processing are separate from our translation fee.

We translate PCCs from any language, including Hindi, Urdu, Tagalog, Bengali, Malayalam, French, Spanish, Chinese, and Russian. Arabic-English translations are the most affordable. Other language pairs may cost more.

Standard delivery is 1-2 business days. Express same-day and urgent 1-hour delivery are available. PCCs are straightforward documents and are often completed faster than estimated.

For MOHRE work permit applications, you typically need: (1) translated and attested PCC, (2) translated degree certificate, (3) passport copies, and (4) medical fitness certificate. All translations must be MOJ-certified.

If your PCC was issued in the UAE and you are submitting it to a UAE authority, it most likely does not need translation. First ask the UAE Police or Ministry of Interior issuing authority whether it can reissue the certificate in English or Arabic; that is usually the better path than paying for a translation. A UAE-issued PCC does need translation when a foreign authority requires another language—for example, a Spanish embassy requiring Spanish. Most PCCs we translate are issued outside the UAE and submitted inside the UAE for employment, visa, or other authority use. These need translation into Arabic, or English where the receiving authority accepts it.

A standard PCC includes: full name, date of birth, nationality, passport number, address, period of residence checked, and a statement confirming the presence or absence of criminal records. All fields are translated as part of the service.
