What Is Personal Document Translation?

Personal document translation is a process where personal documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, identification cards, and diplomas among others, are translated from one language to another. This usually involves translating such documents from Arabic to English or vice versa.

Translation of personal documents differs from business or technical translation in that it requires extreme accuracy when it comes to small details. Inaccuracies such as spelling mistakes or even incorrect dates might cause rejection of such documents in the UAE’s official authorities.

Does Your Personal Document Need Certified or Notarized Translation?

Every document does not require the same level of authentication, and a mistake in this can result in a huge waste of time and money.  Let’s make a quick comparison between certified translation and notarized translation for personal documents.

Certified Translation	Notarized Translation
It is accompanied by an accuracy statement from the translator, guaranteeing the accuracy of the translation, and is enough to meet the requirements for most administrative uses.	It is more advanced than a certified one and involves notary certification and is needed mostly in high-level transactions such as in courts or embassies.

If you want us to translate your personal documents, let us know where they are intended to be used. It is very important for handling your documents properly to meet the official requirements.
