The disability card under Law No. 4 of 1999

Disability rights in the West Bank and Gaza are governed by Law No. 4 of 1999 on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which defines a disabled person as someone with a permanent partial or total disability. The law is implemented by the Ministry of Social Development (called the Ministry of Social Affairs until 2016), which issues the disability card as proof of disability for access to services. Older cards and letters may still carry the ministry's former name, and we translate it as printed.

A disability file often holds more than the card: medical committee reports, a doctor's assessment of the type and degree of disability, and letters from the ministry. Each is translated in full, with its stamps and signatures, and every percentage or classification is reproduced exactly as written. Dates of assessment and of any review are reproduced as printed, since programs often ask how long a condition has been recognised.

Using it in the US

US agencies such as the Social Security Administration, schools providing special education, and immigration medical examiners do not apply Palestinian disability categories; they use the documents as evidence. A precise translation of the diagnosis, the assessment and the dates is what lets them do that, so we do not replace a Palestinian classification with a US term. Where a term has no exact English equivalent, a short translator's note explains it.

Medical terms are kept in the language the doctor used, and Arabic text is translated. Names follow your passport spelling when you ask. See our Palestinian medical records page and our Arabic page. A photo or scan of the card and reports is enough; we do not need the originals. Stamps of the ministry, the medical committee and the hospital are translated in full.

What USCIS requires

Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.

State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.

How it works

Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.

A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.

Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.

Certified vs. standard translation

A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.

A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
