Arabic to English Certified Translation
Professional Arabic Translation — Starting at $18/page
Foreign language documents submitted to USCIS, a U.S. consulate, or an immigration attorney must include a complete English translation with a signed certification of accuracy. USCIS Translations provides certified Arabic to English translation built for exactly this purpose — backed by a 100% USCIS acceptance guarantee and 24-hour turnaround on most documents.
We work with applicants, petitioners, and the immigration attorneys who represent them, so we know which document types come up again and again — birth certificates, marriage and divorce certificates, national ID cards, and police clearance letters — and where a rushed or inexperienced translation tends to create problems.

Our Certified Arabic Translation Process
Four straightforward steps from document to certified delivery.
Upload Your Document
Upload a clear photo or scan of your Arabic document through our secure portal — phone photos work fine if all text is legible.
Expert Translator Assigned
We assign a native-level Arabic translator with direct experience in that specific document type — civil, academic, or legal.
Quality Review
A second linguist reviews the draft for accuracy, formatting, and completeness against the source document.
Certified PDF Delivered
You receive a certified PDF with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, ready to attach to your USCIS filing. Printed copy available on request.
Certified vs. Notarized Arabic Translation
USCIS does not require notarization — it requires a certification statement from the translator or translation company attesting to their competence in both languages and the accuracy of the translation. That statement is included by default on every order.
✓ Certified Translation
A signed statement from the translator attesting to accuracy and competence in both languages. Required by USCIS per 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Included with every order.
+ Notarized Translation
Adds a notary public's seal verifying the translator's identity and signature. Not required by USCIS. Some courts, universities, or consulates ask for it — available as an add-on (+$9).
Turnaround Time & Pricing
Standard certified Arabic translations are typically delivered within 24 hours of a correctly submitted document. Rush delivery is available for same-day turnaround on most single-page civil documents (birth, marriage, and similar certificates). Pricing is quoted per document before you pay, so there is no guessing before your filing deadline.

Arabic Dialects We Support
Official Arabic records — civil registrations, court filings, and academic transcripts — are almost always issued in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), and that is the baseline our translators work from. When a document includes regional phrasing, our linguists are equally comfortable adapting it without losing the formal register a certified translation requires.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a certified Arabic translation?
A certified Arabic translation is a complete, accurate rendering of your document into English, accompanied by a signed statement from the translator or translation company attesting to their competency and the accuracy of the work — this signed statement is what makes it “certified.”
Does USCIS accept certified Arabic translations?
Yes. USCIS requires that any document in a foreign language be submitted with a full English translation and the translator’s certification of accuracy, per 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Every order we prepare for USCIS use meets this standard.
Is a certified translation the same as a notarized translation?
No. Certification is a signed statement from the translator about accuracy and competence; notarization adds a notary public’s seal verifying the translator’s identity and signature. USCIS asks only for certification, not notarization.
Do I need a notarized Arabic translation, or is certified enough?
For USCIS filings, certified is enough — notarization is not required. Some courts, universities, or foreign consulates do ask for notarization in addition to certification, so check your specific instructions before you order.
How long does it take to translate an Arabic document?
Most certified Arabic translations are delivered within 24 hours of your document being submitted correctly and completely.
Can I get my Arabic translation the same day?
Yes, same-day delivery is available for most single-page civil documents like birth and marriage certificates — select rush service when you place your order.
How much does certified Arabic translation cost?
Pricing depends on document length and complexity and is confirmed with a quote before you pay, so you know the exact cost before your filing deadline.
What Arabic documents do you translate?
We translate Arabic civil records (birth, marriage, divorce, death certificates, national ID cards), academic documents (diplomas, transcripts, degree certificates), legal documents (contracts, powers of attorney, court records), and immigration-specific paperwork.
Do you translate Arabic birth certificates?
Yes — Arabic birth certificate translation is one of our most-requested services for immigration filings. See our dedicated Birth Certificate Translation page for details.
Do you translate Arabic marriage certificates?
Yes — Arabic marriage certificate translation is commonly needed for spousal petitions and family-based green card applications. See our Marriage Certificate Translation page for specifics.
Do you translate Arabic academic transcripts and diplomas?
Yes — we regularly translate Arabic diplomas and transcripts for immigration, employment verification, and university credential evaluation. See our Diploma & Transcript Translation page.
Are your Arabic translators native speakers?
Yes. Every Arabic translator on our team is a native or native-level speaker with direct experience translating official and immigration-related documents.
Which Arabic dialects do you support?
We work across Modern Standard Arabic and regional varieties including Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf, and Maghrebi Arabic, since source documents can include a mix of formal and regional phrasing.
Is Modern Standard Arabic used for official document translations?
Yes. Official Arabic documents — birth certificates, court records, academic transcripts — are almost always issued in Modern Standard Arabic, which is what our translations are built from as the baseline.
Can you translate Arabic legal contracts and court documents?
Yes, we translate Arabic contracts, powers of attorney, court judgments, and other legal documents, working from the original formal-register language these documents are typically issued in.
Do you provide Arabic translations for USCIS forms and immigration petitions?
Yes. We regularly translate supporting documents attached to USCIS petitions and Requests for Evidence, including civil records submitted alongside forms like I-130, I-485, and I-751.
What does your 100% acceptance guarantee actually cover?
If USCIS or another accepting agency rejects your translation specifically because of a translation error, formatting issue, or missing certification statement, we correct and reissue it at no additional charge.
How do I submit my Arabic document for translation?
Upload a clear photo or scanned copy of your Arabic document through our online portal, tell us where the translation is being submitted, and select standard or rush delivery.
Do you accept photos or phone scans of Arabic documents?
Yes, a clear, fully legible phone photo or scan works — just make sure all four corners and every line of text are visible and in focus before you upload it.
Can you translate Arabic into languages other than English?
Our core service is Arabic to English, which covers the large majority of USCIS and U.S. immigration use cases; contact us if you need Arabic paired with a different target language.
Is my personal information kept confidential during translation?
Yes. Your documents and personal information are handled under confidentiality agreements with our translators and are not shared beyond what is needed to complete your order.
