Legal translation and corporate documents in the UAE
Legal Translation, Document Legalisation & Corporate Documents in the UAE

Every document has a purpose. Every detail matters.

When establishing or managing a business in the UAE, documents do more than record decisions. They establish authority, confirm ownership and help move corporate and regulatory processes forward.

From certified legal translation and document attestation to drafting corporate resolutions, Memoranda of Association (MOAs) and Powers of Attorney (POAs), Megillion helps you prepare and coordinate the documentation your business needs.

Introduction

Documents prepared for the decisions behind them.

A document can be correctly written and still be unsuitable for its intended purpose. The wording, signing authority, supporting records, translation and legalisation requirements may all affect whether it can be used for a particular transaction or official submission.

Megillion approaches document services in the context of your actual requirements — whether you are establishing a UAE company, changing its ownership, authorising a representative or submitting overseas corporate documents to a UAE authority.

We look beyond the document itself to understand what it needs to accomplish.

Beyond the paperwork

We consider what the document needs to do.

Corporate documents are often connected. A resolution may authorise a POA. A POA may determine who can sign an application. An MOA amendment may affect ownership records or licensing requirements.

We pay attention to those connections.

Purpose before drafting.

We clarify how the document will be used and what it needs to achieve.

Authority matters.

We consider the intended powers, signatories and limitations when coordinating corporate documents.

Requirements matter, too.

Translation, notarisation and legalisation requirements depend on the document, jurisdiction and receiving authority.

Connected corporate support.

We consider documentation alongside company formation, ownership changes, banking and compliance requirements.

Clear coordination.

We help you understand what is needed, what remains outstanding and which steps depend on third parties.

The objective is not simply to produce a document. It is to help ensure the documentation process is aligned with its intended purpose and applicable requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Can Megillion draft corporate resolutions, MOAs and POAs?

Yes. We can prepare or coordinate these documents according to the intended corporate purpose and agreed scope. Documents may require review, execution or approval by a lawyer, notary, company authority or other authorised professional, depending on their nature and use.

Do documents issued outside the UAE need attestation?

Some overseas documents require legalisation or authentication before they can be accepted in the UAE. The process depends on the country of origin, document type and receiving authority.

Is legal translation the same as ordinary translation?

No. Official submissions may require translation by a suitably authorised legal translator. The applicable requirements depend on the document and the authority receiving it.

Can a POA be used for company formation or corporate changes?

A POA may authorise a representative to perform specified actions, subject to its wording and the requirements of the relevant authority. The powers should be drafted carefully to reflect the intended authority rather than relying on broad, general language.

Can Megillion help with corporate documents for banking applications?

We can help coordinate relevant corporate documents, including resolutions and authorised signatory information, subject to the bank’s requirements. The bank determines which documents it accepts.

How long does document legalisation or translation take?

Timelines depend on the document, country of origin, service provider, required formalities and receiving authority. Additional certification or corrections may affect the process.
