Built for Arabic documents

Who issues Arabic civil documents

Knowing the issuing body matters: it tells us which layout to expect and which registry references must survive into English untouched.

Issuing authorityWhereWhat it issues
مصلحة الأحوال المدنية (Civil Status Authority)EgyptComputerized birth and death certificates, national ID records
المأذون / محكمة الأسرة (Ma'zoun / Family Court)Egypt, Levantعقد زواج marriage contracts and وثيقة طلاق divorce deeds

السجل المدني (Civil Registry)Morocco, Algeria, TunisiaExtraits d'acte de naissance — often bilingual Arabic/French

Arabic document terms and how we render them

Terms that must be transcribed rather than translated are marked — inventing an English equivalent for a registry code is a classic cause of RFEs.

ArabicEnglishHandling
شهادة ميلادBirth certificateTranslated
عقد زواجMarriage contractTranslated — a contract, not a certificate; dower clauses are kept
وثيقة طلاقDivorce deedTranslated in full, including the type of divorce recorded
دفتر العائلةFamily bookTranslated; each content page counts as one page
الرقم القوميNational ID numberTranscribed exactly, 14 digits
هجري (Hijri date)Hijri dateTranscribed as printed; the document's own Gregorian equivalent is used, never our own conversion
سجل مدنيCivil registry recordTranslated; registry and page numbers transcribed

Where Arabic translations usually go wrong

Frequently asked questions

Do you handle Egyptian computerized birth certificates?
Yes — the green computerized certificates translate cleanly. Older handwritten sijil records route to manual review.
Is this translation accepted by USCIS?
Yes. USCIS requires a complete English translation together with a certification that the translator is competent and the translation is accurate (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)). Every order includes that signed certification on company letterhead, with an order number that can be independently verified on our verification page. If USCIS ever rejects a translation we prepared, send us the notice (or just point us to the error) within 180 days and we fix it free or refund you in full — your choice.
Who translates my document, and who is accountable for it?
Translations are produced through RENDUN LIMITED's translation process, which combines translation technology with multi-step verification: names, dates and numbers get an independent second reading. Documents the system flags as handwritten, damaged or complex are reviewed by a person before delivery. Every certificate is signed by the company's authorised representative, who takes responsibility for the translation, and carries our postal address, telephone number, email address and a public verification link. USCIS specifies what a certification must contain, not who performs the translation; ours contains every required element. If USCIS rejects a translation, we refund it.
How can an officer or employer verify that this translation is genuine?
Three ways, none of which need an account. 1) The order number on the certificate can be entered at certmytranslation.com/verify, which confirms the order was issued by us, the date, the language pair and the document type — never names or contents. 2) The certification page carries a Document ID computed from the translation itself; the verification page shows the same ID, so a certificate whose text has been altered will not match. 3) The verification page shows the SHA-256 fingerprint of the exact PDF we issued and lets anyone check a PDF file against it in the browser without uploading it. The certificate also carries our telephone number and email for direct enquiries.
Do I need a notarized translation?
Not for USCIS. USCIS removed the notarization requirement decades ago — a certified translation is exactly what the instructions ask for. Some DMVs, courts and apostille processes do want notarization; if that is your situation, contact us and we will point you to a suitable notarized-translation provider.
How fast will I get my translation?
Typical orders are delivered in under 10 minutes. Handwritten, damaged or low-resolution documents are routed to manual review and delivered within 24 hours — you'll see the status on your order page.
What does it cost?
$19.95 per page, flat. No subscriptions, no accounts, no upsells. You pay with PayPal or card and download a finished PDF: translation, signed certification page, and a copy of your original.
Is my document safe?
Files are encrypted in transit and never used to train AI models. We keep your uploads and finished translations securely on file so you can request a copy or a correction whenever you need one. Prefer deletion? Email us any time and everything is removed within 48 hours.
What if something in my document is unreadable?
Industry practice (and USCIS expectation) is to mark unreadable text as [Illegible] rather than guess. Our multi-step verification compares two independent AI readings plus your own confirmation of names and dates, so nothing is silently invented.

How certification works. Every order includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy on company letterhead that meets the USCIS requirement (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)) for a complete English translation with a translator certification. Each certificate carries an order number you can verify at any time at certmytranslation.com/verify. USCIS does not require notarization for supporting documents — see our USCIS guide.
