What a certified Arabic document translation includes
A certified translation is more than a plain language conversion. The translation is prepared for formal use and issued with certification details confirming the accuracy of the translated document. If your receiving authority asks for notarisation, an apostille, a sworn translation or a specific wording, tell us before the work begins.
Accurate translation
The content is translated carefully from the source document, including names, dates, stamps and relevant annotations.
Certification details
The completed translation includes the appropriate certification statement and identifying details for the issued translation.
Clear document matching
We preserve the logical order and key document structure so the translation can be read alongside the source.
Purpose checked first
Tell us whether the document is for a visa, university, court, employer, solicitor, consulate or another authority.

Arabic translation that matches the context of the document
The language used in a court document is different from the language used in a university transcript or business contract. We treat the document type and intended audience as part of the translation brief rather than translating every file in the same way.
What affects the price and delivery time?
Rather than applying one figure to every Arabic document, we quote according to the actual file and the service needed.
Document length
The number of pages and the amount of translatable text affect the workload.
Document complexity
Dense legal wording, tables, handwriting or poor scans can require additional handling.
Certification level
Standard certified translation, notarisation and legalisation are different services and are quoted accordingly.
Deadline
Urgent work may be possible depending on the size, language direction and translator availability.

Arabic document translation FAQs
Do you translate both Arabic to English and English to Arabic?
Yes. The correct direction depends on the document and the organisation receiving it. Send the file and intended use so the quote can be prepared accurately.
Can you provide a certified Arabic-to-English translation?
Yes. Certified translation is available for documents that need formal confirmation of translation accuracy. If the receiving authority has its own wording or certification requirement, send that to us before ordering.
Can you translate PDF scans and photographs?
Yes, provided the text is clear enough to read. For multi-page documents, send every page and any reverse-side content that forms part of the original.
Do I need notarisation or an apostille as well?
Not always. Those are separate services from certified translation. The requirement depends on the destination country, receiving authority and document type, so it is best to confirm the requirement first.
Can you handle urgent Arabic document translation?
Urgent turnaround may be available depending on document length, complexity and translator availability. Include your deadline when requesting the quote.
How do I get a quote?
Send a clear copy of the document, the language direction, the intended use, your deadline and whether you need digital or hard-copy delivery.

- Provide every page, including stamps, seals and handwritten notes.
- Confirm the preferred spelling of names if an established English spelling already exists.
- Share any previous translations that contain approved terminology or name spellings.
- Tell us if the translation will be used for immigration, court, education, business or UAE legalisation purposes.
Arabic names and institutional terminology can have more than one valid transliteration. Supplying passports, previous certificates or established spellings can help maintain consistency across related documents.
