Where possible, send us the receiving authority's instructions together with the complete document.

Send us a clear scan or photograph of every page and tell us where the translation will be submitted. We can assess the document and provide a quotation.
Urdu Script, Names & Right-to-Left Documents
Urdu is written from right to left using a Perso-Arabic script, commonly presented in Nastaliq style. Official documents may also contain English text, numbers, stamps, signatures and handwritten entries.
Urdu Names & English Spellings
Personal names written in Urdu can sometimes be represented in English in more than one way. For official translation, consistency with the spelling used in a passport or recognised identity document is important.
Where available, provide the passport or official English spelling together with the Urdu source document.
Right-to-Left Layout
Urdu documents may combine right-to-left writing with Latin characters, dates, reference numbers, seals and official stamps.
These elements need to be read in context and represented clearly in the English translation.
Urdu Documents Issued in Pakistan
Official documentation in Pakistan may appear in Urdu, English or both languages. Some records may also contain regional-language entries, handwritten information or stamps.
Bilingual Urdu-English Documents
Some civil, educational and government documents contain both Urdu and English wording. Send every page so that the complete document can be assessed before translation.
Urdu Is Distinct from Hindi
Spoken Urdu and Hindi share many similarities, but formal written Urdu uses a Perso-Arabic script while Hindi normally uses Devanagari.
The source script therefore matters when the correct language professional is selected.
