Certified Translation + Attestation
Certified Translation + Attestation
Documents presented to Omani government ministries, courts, employers, and educational institutions must be in Arabic or English. If your original certificates, contracts, or personal documents were issued in another language, they require certified translation by a qualified linguist before the attestation process can begin. Omani authorities do not accept informal or machine translations, and submitting poorly translated documents results in immediate rejection.
The challenge with translation and attestation is that they must be handled as a connected process. The translation must be certified by a legal translator recognized by UAE authorities, and both the translation and the original must pass through the attestation chain together as a linked set. If the translation is done separately without proper certification, it will not be accepted at the MOFA or embassy stage, forcing you to start over with a new translation.
GreenAttest solves this by providing certified translation and attestation as a single integrated service. Our network of legal translators covers all major languages and specializes in official documents. Once the certified translation is complete, our attestation team immediately processes both the original and the translation through notarization, UAE MOFA, and Oman Embassy stamping. This eliminates the gap between translation and attestation, preventing the errors and delays that occur when the two services are sourced separately.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Provide context about how the document will be used in Oman so the translator can select the correct legal and technical terminology for the target audience.
- If your document contains specialized terms such as medical, engineering, or financial vocabulary, mention this at submission so we can assign a translator with the relevant expertise.
- Allow the full 12-18 business day window when planning your timeline, as translation adds processing time before the attestation stages can begin.

They are related but not identical. A certified translation is produced by a translator recognized by UAE authorities and carries the translator's seal and declaration of accuracy. Notarization adds a further layer of authentication by a notary public. GreenAttest provides both as part of this combined service, ensuring the translation meets all Omani government requirements.
Existing translations can be used only if they were produced by a UAE-recognized legal translator and carry the appropriate certification seal. Informal translations, even if accurate, will be rejected during the attestation process. GreenAttest can review your existing translation and advise whether it meets the required standard or if a new translation is needed.
Yes. The original document and its certified translation are processed together as a linked set through every attestation stage. Omani authorities require both to carry matching attestation stamps. GreenAttest manages both documents simultaneously to ensure the stamps are consistent and the set is complete.
