Arabic document translation for Australian requirements

The most common request is Arabic-to-English translation of official documents for Australian immigration, identity, education, employment, legal and administrative files. English-to-Arabic translation is also available where it is appropriate for the organisation that will receive the document.

Not every document or receiving organisation requires NAATI certification. Where NAATI certification is required and available, the assignment is allocated to an appropriately credentialled practitioner. Confirm the language direction, format and certification the authority currently asks for before you order. ATIS does not determine visa eligibility or guarantee acceptance by any authority.

Arabic-document accuracy

Official Arabic documents commonly use Modern Standard Arabic, right-to-left layout and country-specific legal or civil-registry terminology. Names, dates, seals and bilingual wording need to be handled from the source document rather than standardised to an Australian form.

  • Arabic names can have more than one English spelling. Where a passport or earlier official translation is supplied, the translator can use it so names stay consistent across the file.
  • Patronymic and family-name structures should be translated consistently against the source document and any passport you provide.
  • Hijri and Gregorian dates, and Arabic and Western numerals, are taken from the source text and described clearly where both appear.
  • Seals, stamps, signatures and handwritten annotations are translated or described where they are legible. Unclear portions may be marked as unreadable rather than guessed.
  • Bilingual Arabic/English or Arabic/French forms, and formats that vary by issuing jurisdiction, are followed as they appear on the document.
  • Clear, complete scans showing every edge, stamp, endorsement and reverse side help the translator work from the full record.

Documents from Arabic-speaking jurisdictions

We assess Arabic documents from a range of issuing jurisdictions, subject to document legibility, practitioner availability and the required translation direction. Documents may be issued in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and other Arabic-speaking jurisdictions. This is not a claim of guaranteed expertise in every jurisdiction or dialect.

Iqama, family civil-status and travel records

Iqamas and other residency permits, entry and exit stamps, visa stamps or endorsements, family civil-status certificates and Gulf-region employment or residency records may be requested as evidence of residence, identity, employment or travel history. Requirements depend on the receiving authority.

Upload all relevant pages and ask the receiving authority what must be translated. A stamp, visa page or travel record does not always need translation. ATIS translates visible text and annotations. ATIS does not determine visa eligibility or whether a document is sufficient evidence.

Apostille certificates and notarial endorsements

ATIS may translate an apostille certificate, a notarial endorsement and the attached document where the service is available. ATIS does not issue, authenticate or legalise apostilles. Those steps are a separate government or authorised-service process.

Customers should confirm with the receiving authority whether they need the original document, an apostille, a translation, notarisation or another certification step. The order of those steps can vary.
