Arabic document translation

Certified Arabic Translation Services in the UK

Arabic to English and English to Arabic translation for personal, immigration, legal, academic and business documents, with clear formatting for formal use.

Both translation directions

One Arabic hub for documents moving in either direction.

Use this page for Arabic to English documents that need to be understood by a UK organisation, or for English to Arabic documents being prepared for an Arabic-speaking recipient.

Arabic varies by country and context, especially in names, administrative terminology and document conventions. Tell us where the document was issued and where the translation will be used so the translator has the right context. For UK document requirements, see our Arabic to English certified translation guide.

Common document groups

Arabic translation across the documents people actually submit.

Civil & identity documents

Birth, marriage, divorce, death, passport and identity records often need consistent names, dates and place names.

Immigration & academic records

Police certificates, immigration evidence, diplomas, transcripts and supporting certificates may need formal translation.

Business & legal documents

Contracts, company records, bank statements, property documents and legal correspondence require careful terminology.

Arabic-specific document details

Names, dates and official wording need careful handling.

Names & transliteration

Arabic names can have more than one reasonable Latin-script spelling. If a passport or another official record already uses an English spelling, send it with the document so names can be kept consistent across the translation.

Dates, numbers & references

Arabic documents may use different numeral styles, date formats and administrative references. These should be translated in context and kept easy to compare with the source rather than being silently normalised.

Stamps, seals & handwriting

Official stamps, seals and handwritten notes can form part of the meaning of a document. Upload clear images of these areas and include reverse sides or continuation pages when they contain relevant information.

FAQs

Arabic translation questions

Do you translate both Arabic to English and English to Arabic?

Yes. This hub covers both directions. Tell us the source and target language when you upload the document.

Does the country the Arabic document comes from matter?

It can. Administrative wording, stamps and naming conventions may vary, so provide the country of issue and the intended use.

Can Arabic names match the spelling in a passport?

If an established Latin-script spelling exists in a passport or another official record, provide it with your files.

Can several Arabic documents be translated together?

Yes. Sending related documents together can help maintain consistent names, dates and recurring terminology.
