Editorial and Source Policy: How We Verify
This page explains who publishes manjazuae.com, how we verify the procedural information we publish, and how to hold us to it. MANJAZ is a private service provider, not an authority — so our guides exist to explain each process and then point you to the official UAE source that governs it. Below you will find our role and scope, the source we rely on for each service, our accuracy and update policy, and how to suggest a correction.
Who publishes this site
This site is published by MANJAZ Corporate & Translation Services L.L.C., a private service provider based in Dubai.
MANJAZ Corporate & Translation Services L.L.C. is a private company. We help individuals and businesses prepare documents and complete the procedures required by UAE authorities across five services: legal and certified translation, certificate attestation and legalization, corporate services and company formation, rental disputes, and publication notices.
We are a service provider and a publisher of explanatory guidance — not a court, not a government department, and not a law firm. Nothing on this site is a government decision, a legal opinion, or legal advice, and reading it does not on its own create a client relationship.
Our aim in publishing procedural guides is to explain, in plain English and Arabic, what a process involves and which official authority governs it — and then to point you to that authority's own source so you can verify the current rule for your situation.
Where our role ends and the authority's begins
We prepare documents, explain a process, and coordinate its steps. We cannot approve, attest, license, adjudicate, or issue anything ourselves — those acts belong to the competent authority alone.
The destination authority also decides the substance: which target language a translation must be in, the order of steps, the fees, and whether a document is accepted. Where a rule is set by an authority, that authority's current decision prevails over anything summarized here.
How we verify procedural information
We work outward from the primary official source, in a fixed order of preference.
For every procedural claim — a required step, a governing law, which authority is responsible — we start with the primary official source and stay as close to it as possible. Our order of preference is: (1) the text of the applicable UAE federal or emirate-level law or decree; (2) the competent authority's own website and published service guidance; (3) the UAE Government's official portal (u.ae) where it consolidates a process spread across authorities; and only then (4) reputable secondary explanations, used to locate the primary source rather than to replace it.
When an official source is silent, ambiguous, or clearly out of date, we say so rather than fill the gap with an assumption. We would rather tell you to confirm a point directly with the authority than present an invented figure as fact.
The table below maps each of our services to the authority that governs it and to what we cite. It is the backbone of how this site is sourced.
What we cite, by topic
| Topic | Governing authority | What we cite |
|---|---|---|
| Certificate attestation & legalization | UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFAIC); HCCH for Hague status | MOFAIC attestation guidance and UAE embassy/consulate legalization; the HCCH status table, which confirms the UAE is not an Apostille party — so consular legalization applies, not an apostille. |
| Legal & certified translation | UAE Ministry of Justice (MOJ) | MOJ rules licensing legal translators; the requirement that documents for UAE authorities be translated into Arabic by an MOJ-licensed translator, with the receiving authority setting the target language and order. |
| Corporate services & company formation | Dubai Dept. of Economy & Tourism (DET); the relevant free-zone authority; Federal Tax Authority (FTA) | DET mainland licensing rules; each free zone's own authority for entities set up there; FTA guidance on corporate tax and VAT registration. |
| Rental disputes | Dubai Rental Disputes Centre (RDC), under the Dubai Land Department (DLD) | Dubai Law No. 26 of 2007 (as amended by Law No. 33 of 2008); Decree No. 26 of 2013 establishing the RDC; and DLD/RDC procedures. |
| Publication notices | Federal civil-procedure law; Dubai judicial resolutions | UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 42 of 2022 (Civil Procedure Law) and its executive regulation; and Dubai Courts resolutions governing service of notice by publication. |
Accuracy and update policy
What we commit to on accuracy — and what we deliberately do not promise.
We publish figures, timelines, and fees only when we can tie them to an official source, and we prefer to describe how a fee or timeline is set rather than freeze a single number that may change. We do not invent statistics, success rates, review counts, or processing times to fill a page.
Government procedures, fees, and forms change without notice. Because of that, we do not claim a fixed review cadence we cannot guarantee — we will not tell you every page is 'reviewed monthly' if that is not true. When we revise a page's substance, we intend to reflect that clearly on the page. Between updates, the reliable reference is always the authority's live source.
Where a date is shown on a page, it marks when that content was prepared or last revised — not a guarantee that the underlying rule has not changed since.
Always confirm with the authority before you act
Use our guides to understand a process and prepare for it — then confirm the current requirement, fee, and accepted format directly with the competent authority (or a licensed professional) before you rely on it for a filing, a deadline, or a payment.
This matters most for anything time-sensitive: attestation routes for a specific destination country, translation requirements set by a receiving authority, tax-registration deadlines, rental-dispute filing windows, and publication-notice timelines.
How to suggest a correction
If you believe something here is inaccurate or out of date, we want to know.
We welcome corrections. If a fact on this site no longer matches the competent authority's current rule, tell us the page and the source that shows the change, and we will review it against that source and update the page where warranted.
Our public contact channel is being finalized and will be published here once confirmed. Until then, we have deliberately not listed a phone number or email address, because we would rather show nothing than publish a contact detail we cannot yet stand behind. Please check back for the confirmed channel.
Frequently asked questions
No. MANJAZ is a private company that helps you prepare documents and move through official procedures. We do not attest, license, adjudicate, or issue anything ourselves, and we do not give legal advice — those roles belong to the competent authorities and to licensed professionals.
No. The authority that will receive your document decides the target language and the order of steps. For documents used before UAE authorities, that generally means translation into Arabic by a translator licensed by the UAE Ministry of Justice — but the receiving authority's requirement always governs.
No. The UAE is not a contracting party to the Apostille Convention, as the HCCH status table confirms. Documents therefore go through consular legalization — attestation by the UAE embassy or consulate in the country of origin and by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFAIC) — not an apostille.
We tie claims to official sources and show a preparation or revision date on our content. We deliberately do not promise a fixed review cadence we cannot guarantee, because government rules change without notice. The reliable reference at any moment is the authority's live source, which we point you to.
The authority. Always follow the competent authority's current figure over anything summarized on this site. If you spot such a difference, please tell us so we can review and update the page.
Tell us the page and a source showing the correct, current rule, and we will review it. Our public contact channel is being finalized and will be published here once confirmed; we have chosen not to list an unverified phone number or email in the meantime.
