What Certified Arabic to English Translation Covers
Certified Arabic to English translation is required whenever a Malaysian or English-speaking authority must understand and rely on an Arabic document. This applies to relocation, employment, education and legal matters.
Every certified translation is completed by a translator fluent in both Arabic and English. It is then reviewed and issued with a signed statement of accuracy. This confirms the English version is a faithful, complete rendering of the Arabic original.
Arabic documents can originate from many different countries, each with its own document formats and terminology. Our translators account for these regional differences when preparing your certified translation.
This service is commonly used for visa and immigration applications, employment pass applications, and university admissions. It also applies to court proceedings and cross-border legal or financial matters involving Arabic documents.
If your document also needs to be recognised abroad, you may need legalisation in addition to certified translation.
Our Quality Process
Every certified translation goes through a structured quality process before it reaches you:
- Translated by a linguist fluent in both Arabic and English
- Checked against the source document for accuracy and completeness
- Reviewed for correct terminology, formatting and names/dates
- Issued with a signed certification statement confirming accuracy

Certified Arabic Translation, Both Ways
Arabic documents pass through our hands for two distinct purposes, depending on whether Malaysia or an Arabic-speaking country is the destination.
Arriving From an Arabic-Speaking Country
Expatriates and students arriving from across the Middle East and North Africa often need Malaysian institutions — universities, employers, immigration — to act on documents issued back home. We provide the certified English rendering that makes this possible, accounting for the document conventions of each issuing country.
Most requested: birth and marriage certificates, academic transcripts and diplomas, and employment letters.
Heading To an Arabic-Speaking Country
When a Malaysian-issued document needs to be accepted in an Arabic-speaking country, the certified translation is the starting point for a longer chain — notarisation, Wisma Putra attestation, and authentication at the destination country’s embassy in Malaysia — since Malaysia’s Hague Apostille accession is still pending.
We handle this most often for birth and marriage certificates, academic certificates, and Powers of Attorney.
