Arabic translation service
Translation built around the document and where it will be used
Arabic translation is not limited to replacing individual words from one language with another. Official and professional documents need names, dates, figures, terminology, stamps and formatting to be handled clearly and consistently.
UK Document Translation supports Arabic as one of its available languages and provides document translation for individuals, professional advisers and organisations. When placing an order, identify the language currently used in the document, the language required for the completed translation and the organisation or purpose for which it will be used.
This information is particularly important when the receiving organisation has its own requirements for certification, notarisation, document presentation or additional authentication.
You can also review the available translation services or browse document types before ordering.

Language direction
Arabic to English or English to Arabic?
Tell us both the language of the original and the language required for the completed document. Your exact language pair is confirmed together with the document type and intended use.
Keep official name spellings consistent
If an Arabic name already has an established Latin-alphabet spelling on a passport, identity document or previous official record, include that spelling with the order so it can be considered during translation.
Arabic → English
For Arabic-language documents that need to be read or submitted in
English. State the intended use and provide any required English
spellings of names.
English → Arabic
For English-language documents that need an Arabic version. Include
the destination, intended recipient and any terminology or naming
instructions you have been given.
Documents containing more than one language
Upload the complete document and identify the languages you recognise.
The files can then be assessed according to their content and the
required target language.
Stamps, seals and handwritten entries
Make sure these areas are visible in the source file. Cropped or blurred
sections can prevent important information from being assessed properly.
How it works
Three steps to your Arabic document translation
The process keeps the original document, required language pair, certification and delivery requirements together from the beginning.
Upload the complete document
Send a clear scan or photograph showing every relevant page, including stamps, seals, signatures, handwritten notes and reverse-side content.
Confirm the language and requirements
State the source and target languages, intended use, destination, required certification and delivery deadline.
Translation and quality check
The document is translated and checked for names, dates, terminology, completeness, stamps and formatting before delivery.

Check the requirements issued by the organisation receiving your translation whenever it specifies a particular form of certification or document presentation.
Do you provide Arabic translation services?
Yes. Arabic is listed in UK Document Translation's language directory. When ordering, provide both the source language and the language required for the completed translation so the exact language pair can be confirmed.
Can I request Arabic to English translation?
Submit the Arabic source document and state that English is required as the target language. Include the intended use, destination and any required spellings of names that need to match existing records.
Can I have an English document translated into Arabic?
Submit the complete English document and identify Arabic as the required target language. The exact project can then be assessed according to the document type, intended use and certification requirements.

The wider service covers personal and civil documents, immigration evidence, legal material, academic records, medical documents and business or financial documents. Examples include certificates, passports, transcripts, contracts, reports and official correspondence.
How much does Arabic translation cost?
The site's certified translation service currently lists pricing from £30. Your exact price depends on the document, language pair, length, certification and delivery requirements, so the document should be submitted for an accurate assessment.
How quickly can an Arabic translation be completed?
The standard delivery option is listed as 2–3 working days. A 12–24 hour express option may also be available for urgent documents, depending on the language pair, document and current availability.
