Tell us where the Arabic translation will be submitted
Certification requirements can differ according to whether the document is being submitted to a South African authority, embassy, court, university, immigration authority or overseas institution.
The translation requirement may also depend on the original country of issue and the jurisdiction where the translated document will be used.
Where possible, send us the receiving authority's instructions together with your documents.

Arabic Documents from the Middle East & North Africa
Arabic is used across many jurisdictions. Government institutions, legal systems, document formats and administrative terminology can differ considerably according to where a document was issued.
The country of issue matters
Arabic official documents may use terminology associated with a particular civil registry, ministry, court, educational authority or other government body.
Providing the country where the document was issued helps us understand names, terminology and institutional references in the correct context.
Arabic Script, Names & Transliteration
Arabic is written from right to left, while names and other details may also appear in Latin characters on passports and international documents.
Arabic Names
The same Arabic name can sometimes be represented in English in more than one way. Where a passport or other official identification provides an established English spelling, it is useful to provide it with the source document.
This helps maintain consistency between the translation and the holder's official records.
Right-to-Left Documents
Arabic documents may contain right-to-left text together with numbers, dates, seals, stamps, signatures and occasional English or French wording.
These elements need to be read in context and reflected clearly in the translated document.
