Rent contracts in the West Bank and Gaza

Residential and commercial leases in the West Bank and Gaza are private contracts, usually written in Arabic on a standard form or drawn up by a lawyer. They name the landlord and tenant with their ID numbers, describe the property, often by building, floor and plot, and set the rent, the term, the payment schedule and the deposit. Rent is commonly set in Jordanian dinars, shekels or US dollars, and we keep the amount in the currency written.

Many leases are signed by witnesses, and some carry the stamp of a lawyer, a municipality or another office. Each signature and stamp is translated in full. We copy ID numbers and plot numbers exactly and translate every clause, including those on maintenance, sub-letting and termination. Dates of signing, start and end are reproduced exactly, since they show how long you lived at the address.

Why a US office asks for it

A Palestinian lease is used in US filings mainly as proof of residence: a couple's joint lease supports a spousal petition, and a lease can show where an applicant lived. For that purpose the dates, the names and the address matter most, and we reproduce them exactly. Handwritten additions are translated where legible and marked as illegible where not. A photo or scan is enough.

If the lease concerns land, see our Palestinian property deed page; if a relative signed for you, see our power of attorney page. Names follow your passport spelling when you ask. See our Arabic page. If you and your spouse are both named on the lease, the translation shows both names as printed, which is what a reviewing officer looks for. A photo or scan of each page is enough.

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.
