This makes the translation legally valid, and it is accepted by authorities such as the municipality, the IND, the court and the notary. An ordinary or machine translation lacks that statement and for official documents is not accepted.

Which documents do we translate?

Sworn Arabic translation with apostille

For use abroad, your sworn translation often a apostille is needed, a legalisation stamp based on the Apostille Convention (Hague Convention, 1961). Not every Arabic-speaking country is a party to this convention. Morocco and Bahrain are members, so an apostille is sufficient. Countries such as Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Algeria and Jordan are not parties; there the more extensive consular legalisation via the embassy applies. We advise which route is needed for your destination country and can apostille for you.
