When you need certified Arabic translation
Arabic to English Certified Translation for Official Documents
An official document written in Arabic may require a certified English translation when submitted to a UK authority, university, employer, solicitor or another organisation. The receiving body decides the exact requirements for that purpose.
We review Arabic documents, including records from Arabic-speaking jurisdictions across the Middle East and North Africa. The complete original helps the translator identify names, administrative wording, dates, seals and special entries.
English to Arabic translation may also be requested. For overseas use, confirm whether the receiving authority needs a sworn translator, notarisation, an apostille or another separate form of certification. Arabic documents may include right-to-left entries, regional civil-registry terms, Hijri and Gregorian dates, mixed Arabic/English/French text and stamps. Please supply clear scans and any official English spelling of personal names so transliteration can be reviewed for consistency.

What is included
What Your Certified Arabic Translation Includes
For a standard certified translation, the translated document is accompanied by a certification statement that identifies the translation and confirms its accuracy. The final pack is prepared according to the service agreed for the receiving organisation.
Where required and applicable, the certification can include an authorised signature, date, identifying details and the agency's certification information. We confirm any different legal or institutional requirements before starting.
Digital PDF delivery is available, with physical copies on request. A separate sworn translation, notarisation or legalisation process may be necessary in some cases and should not be confused with standard UK certification.
Language direction
Arabic to English and English to Arabic Translation
The destination of your document determines which language and certification format to request.
Commonly requested for Arabic-language documents submitted to UK organisations. These may include immigration, university admission, employment, legal and other official files.
English-language documents being used by a Arabic-speaking organisation may need a particular certification format. Share the receiving authority’s exact instructions before ordering.

Urgent Arabic translation
Need Arabic Certified Translation Quickly?
Many short, clearly scanned documents can be assessed for priority or next-day delivery. Final turnaround depends on length, formatting, legibility, certification, language direction and current translator availability.
For a tight deadline, upload the complete document and provide the exact date and time you need it. We will confirm whether an urgent slot is suitable before work starts. Postal delivery time is separate from the translation turnaround.
Choose the correct certification
Certified, Sworn or Notarised Arabic Translation?
Different organisations use these terms differently. The safest approach is to follow the receiving authority's written instructions.
Certified Translation
A translated document accompanied by a signed accuracy statement. Often requested for UK administrative, education and other formal uses.
Sworn Translation
For some submissions in another country, a translator authorised under that jurisdiction’s rules may be necessary. Standard UK certification and sworn translation are not always equivalent. Check the local requirements.
Notarisation or Legalisation
Some institutions request extra authentication, such as notarisation or an apostille. These are separate steps and must be confirmed for the specific document.
