Certified Translation and Attestation Bundle
Combined certified translation from Sinhala or Tamil to English or Arabic with full attestation processing, ensuring translated documents meet all embassy and MOFA requirements.
The Certified Translation and Attestation Bundle combines professional English translation of Sinhala or Tamil documents with the full attestation chain. GreenAttest provides approved translations and manages the complete legalization process in a single coordinated service.
Many Sri Lankan official documents are issued in Sinhala or Tamil, while UAE authorities require documents in English or Arabic. This creates a two-fold challenge: the document must be professionally translated by a certified translator, and both the original and translation must pass through the attestation chain.
GreenAttest's Certified Translation and Attestation Bundle addresses both requirements in a single service. We receive your Sinhala or Tamil documents, arrange certified English translation through approved translators in Colombo, and then process both the original and translation through the Foreign Affairs, UAE Embassy, and MOFA chain simultaneously.
This integrated approach prevents common problems such as translations that do not match the attested original, incorrect legal terminology, or translations that fail to meet UAE standards. Our translators are familiar with Sri Lankan legal and administrative terminology and produce translations that UAE authorities accept consistently.

Insider tips
Frequently asked questions
UAE authorities require translations by certified translators who provide a sworn declaration of accuracy. Regular translations, even if perfectly accurate, lack this certification and are rejected by government offices, courts, and immigration authorities.
Translation takes 3-5 business days for standard documents. The attestation process then takes 15-20 business days. Total end-to-end is typically 18-25 business days. GreenAttest processes translation and attestation prerequisites in parallel to minimize the total time.
Yes. GreenAttest has certified translators for both Sinhala-to-English and Tamil-to-English translations. Some documents contain text in both languages, and our translators handle bilingual documents as well.
