Certified Arabic apostille translation with notarisation and legalisation

We combine expert Arabic translation with end‑to‑end legalisation so your documents are ready for use internationally. From Modern Standard Arabic to regional variants, our native linguists specialise in legal, academic, and corporate texts. Each translation is produced to UK certification standards and tailored to the requirements of British authorities and international bodies.

Our complete process is straightforward: translation, certification, notarisation, and apostille. We prepare a certified translation on company letterhead with translator attestation, then arrange notarisation by a UK Notary Public if required. Finally, we obtain the apostille from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) for use in Hague Convention countries.

Whether you are applying to the Home Office, enrolling at a university abroad, opening a bank account, or registering a company, your Arabic documents will be formatted and certified correctly, with consistent terminology and accurate transliteration. We also align dates, measurements, and names to meet destination‑country standards.

Step 1: Translation. We translate from Arabic to English (or English to Arabic) and provide a certified translation suitable for UK authorities and overseas institutions. Pricing is clear: £29.90 per page for certified translations, or £0.05 per word for standard projects. Typical turnaround is 24–48 hours for most short documents.

Step 2: Notarisation. If the receiving authority requires notarised translations, we arrange same‑day notarisation by a UK Notary Public. This validates the translator’s declaration and prepares the document for apostille legalisation. Notarisation fees are quoted upfront with no hidden charges.

Step 3: FCDO apostille. We submit the notarised document (or, in some cases, a certified translation alone) to the FCDO for apostille certification. Standard timelines range from 1–3 weeks depending on volume and FCDO processing times. We keep you updated and can arrange tracked return delivery worldwide.

Acceptance worldwide. Apostilles are recognised by 120+ Hague Convention countries. For non‑Hague destinations, we guide you on consular legalisation. Kings of Translation is an ATA member with BBB A+ accreditation, and our certified translations are accepted globally by universities, courts, banks, and immigration bodies.

Personal documents: birth, marriage, and divorce certificates; police clearance (ACRO, background checks); passports and IDs; academic diplomas, transcripts, and recommendation letters. We ensure consistent name spellings and transliteration across documents, which is crucial for immigration case files and university admissions.

Legal and corporate documents: powers of attorney, articles of association, certificates of incorporation, board resolutions, commercial contracts, and financial statements. We match legal terminology precisely to preserve meaning from Arabic into English and comply with receiving jurisdiction standards.

Public and medical records: vaccination cards, medical reports, affidavits, and court orders. For sensitive data, we operate secure workflows with encrypted file transfer and strict confidentiality. Upon request, we supply notarised translator declarations and detailed certification statements on letterhead.

Flexible scope: we can translate documents that already carry an apostille, or obtain an apostille after translation and notarisation. Our team advises on whether originals or certified copies are required by the FCDO and destination authorities, reducing delays and unnecessary submissions.
