What is a certified Arabic translation?

A certified translation is a full translation accompanied by a signed statement, on company letterhead with a stamp, confirming that it is a complete and accurate rendering of the original. It is the format most authorities ask for when a plain translation is not enough.

Will my certified translation be accepted by the authority I am submitting it to?

Acceptance is decided by the receiving court, embassy, university, bank or ministry, and requirements vary. Tell us who the document is for before we start and we match the format they ask for, including any attestation or legalisation step. If you have the authority's written requirements, send them to us.

What is the difference between certification, notarisation, attestation and legalisation?

Certification is our signed statement of accuracy. Notarisation has a notary verify signatures or the certifying person. MEA attestation is verification of the document by India's Ministry of External Affairs. Depending on the destination country, the document then carries either an apostille or embassy legalisation. We confirm the route for your country before starting.

Do I need an apostille or embassy legalisation?

It depends on the country where the document will be used. Countries that are party to the Apostille Convention accept an apostille, while others require legalisation through their embassy. Arab countries are not all in the same position, so we check the current requirement for your destination first.

Which documents do you translate and certify?

Personal and civil records such as birth, marriage and police certificates; academic degrees and transcripts; medical reports; commercial documents such as certificates of origin, invoices and agreements; powers of attorney; and court or corporate papers. If you are unsure, send a photograph and we will advise.

Can you work from scans or phone photographs?

Yes. Clear scans and photographs are enough for a quote and for translation. Where an authority needs a translation attached to a particular original or certified copy, we tell you which one to supply.

How are certified translations priced and how long do they take?

Document translation is charged per page or per word depending on the file, with certification, notarisation and attestation quoted as separate lines so you can see each cost. You receive a fixed written quote with a delivery date once we have seen the document.

Is my document kept confidential?

Yes. Every translator and reviewer signs a confidentiality agreement, and we will sign your own NDA as well. Personal and commercial documents are used only for the assignment.

Certified Arabic Translation: What You Need to Know

A certified Arabic translation is a translation that comes with a signed statement from the translator or agency that it is complete and accurate. People ask for one when a document is going to a court, an embassy, a university, a bank, an employer or a government office, and a plain translation will not do. Because the translation stands in for the original, small mistakes in a name, a date or a figure can cause real delays.

What Goes Into a Certified Translation

Our process is fixed. A qualified linguist translates the document. A second linguist then checks terminology, names, numbers, dates and units against the original, and the layout is matched to the source, including stamps, seals, handwritten notes and marginal text, which we mark as such. The finished translation is issued with a certificate of accuracy on letterhead, signed and stamped.

Names, Transliteration and Consistency

Arabic names can be written in English in several ways, and a mismatch with a passport can create problems at an embassy or a university. Send us the passport or ID of the person named and we follow the spelling shown there. Dates may appear in the Gregorian or Hijri calendar, and we show both where the original does and convert only when asked.

Documents We Translate

Civil and personal: birth, marriage, divorce and death certificates, police clearance, family books and residency papers.
Academic: degrees, transcripts, mark sheets, enrolment letters and recommendation letters.
Medical: reports, prescriptions, discharge summaries, vaccination and fitness certificates.
Commercial: certificates of origin, conformity certificates, invoices, packing lists, trade licences and commercial registers.
Legal and corporate: agreements, powers of attorney, board resolutions, incorporation papers, court judgments and notices.

Certification, Notarisation, Attestation, Apostille and Legalisation

These terms are often mixed up. Certification is our signed statement. Notarisation adds a notary's verification of the signature. MEA attestation is verification by India's Ministry of External Affairs. For use in another country, the document then needs either an apostille, if that country accepts it under the Apostille Convention, or legalisation through that country's embassy. Arab countries do not all follow the same route, and rules change, so we confirm the current requirement for your destination with you before starting, rather than assuming.

Will It Be Accepted?

Acceptance is always the decision of the receiving authority. We cannot promise it on their behalf, but we reduce the risk by asking who the document is for at the start, following any written requirements they give you, and matching the format they usually expect. If an authority has rejected a translation before, send us the rejection note and we will tell you what needs to change.

Getting Started

Send scans or clear photographs of every page, including the back if it carries stamps. Tell us the issuing country, the destination country, who will receive the document, the number of pages and your deadline. You will receive a fixed written quote the same working day.
