Frequently asked questions
Why do I need typing services in UAE?
All UAE government forms — DED, MOHRE, GDRFA, ICP, FTA, Dubai Municipality, RTA — must be in Arabic. Self-typed Arabic forms are not accepted; only approved typing centres can prepare government-standard forms with the correct legal phrasing. This is a regulatory requirement, not a courtesy.
Can I type forms myself in Arabic?
No, even fluent Arabic speakers can't self-submit. UAE government accepts only forms prepared by Ministry-approved typing centres because the centres maintain audit trails and standardised templates the authorities can process programmatically. Bypassing typing centres triggers form rejection.
How fast is typing service?
Standard turnaround: same working day if submitted before 14:00. Express service: 30 minutes. Bulk transactions (50+ forms) take 24 hours due to translator capacity. YABS retainer clients get priority same-day handling regardless of volume.
