Driving licences and vehicle documents, translated and stamped
If you are exchanging a foreign driving licence for a UAE licence, or need your UAE licence recognised abroad, the authority may ask for a certified translation. A licence that is not in Arabic or English is the most common case.
Mundo is a legal translation office approved by the UAE Ministry of Justice. Licences are translated by Ahmed Muhammad Sabar, a legal translator registered with the Ministry of Justice since 2008 (registration no. 302), and every translation carries the Ministry of Justice stamp.

Exchanging a foreign licence in Dubai
Whether you can exchange your licence directly, and what the authority asks for, depends on the country that issued it. When the licence is in a language other than Arabic or English, a certified translation is usually part of the file. Tell us which country issued your licence and we tell you what to prepare before you go.
Using a UAE licence abroad
Some countries ask for a translation of a UAE driving licence, or of a letter confirming your driving history, when you move there or rent a car. We translate both into the language that country needs, and where the authority abroad also wants attestation, we tell you the route.
What we need from you
A clear photograph or scan of both sides of the licence, and a copy of your passport so your name is spelled the same way in the translation as in your other documents.
How it works
- Send us the document. A clear photograph or scan on WhatsApp or by email is enough to start.
- Tell us where it is going. The receiving authority decides whether attestation is also needed.
- We confirm the cost and the delivery date. A fixed quote and a realistic date before anything begins.
- We translate, review and stamp. Names, numbers and dates are checked against the original.
- You collect, or we send it. The stamped translation is ready to submit.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a translation to exchange my licence?
It depends on the country that issued it and the language it is written in. A licence in a language other than Arabic or English usually needs a certified translation. Tell us the issuing country and we confirm what you need.
Can you translate both sides of the licence?
Yes. Both sides are translated, including categories, issue and expiry dates, restrictions and stamps.
How long does it take?
A driving licence is a short document and is usually translated and stamped the same day.
Do you need the original licence?
No. A clear photograph or scan of both sides is enough for the translation.
