Court experts, forensic medicine and valuers

Saudi courts rely on experts in several ways. The Family Law lets the court seek experts to assess a defect in a dissolution case and order a DNA test in a disputed paternity case. Forensic examinations, from injuries to suspicious deaths referred by the public prosecution, are handled by the Ministry of Health's forensic medical services. Valuations of property, businesses or vehicle damage come from valuers accredited by Taqeem, the Saudi Authority for Accredited Valuers.

A Taqeem valuation report must state the valuer's name and licence number, and valuers can be looked up in Taqeem's member list. Valuation dates and the valuation basis are translated as printed, and amounts stay in riyals. We copy those details exactly, along with the court case number and every date, in Hijri and Gregorian form. See our Arabic page.

Keeping questions and conclusions together

Expert reports set out the questions put by the court or the person who commissioned them, the method, and the findings. We keep the numbering so each conclusion can be matched to its question, translate tables and photo captions, and keep Latin technical and chemical terms as written. Where a medical report is in English with Arabic stamps, we translate the Arabic parts and keep the English.

For use in a US court, see court-certified translation. A report written partly in English keeps that part as printed, and every Arabic stamp and signature line is translated. Whether the court admits it, and whether the expert must testify, is for the court and your attorney. For DNA cases, see the Saudi paternity page; for a valuation of property, the property deed page.

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.
