Saudi law has no legal separation
The 2022 Family Law lists five ways a marriage ends or spouses are separated: divorce, khul', a court dissolution, the death of a spouse, and the mutual oath of li'an. Each leaves its own document, and none of them is a separation order. There is no intermediate status of legal separation. A couple living apart remain married until one of these is registered, and the marriage contract remains the current record.
The nearest Saudi situation is a revocable divorce. It does not end the marriage until the waiting period (iddah) expires, and the husband may resume the marriage during it, registering the resumption within 15 days. If an office asks for a separation document, what you actually hold is probably a divorce deed or a court ruling, and we translate it as what it is.
Court rulings during a separation
A wife whose husband refuses both divorce and khul' can ask the court to dissolve the marriage on the grounds the law allows, and a husband absent or missing can be the subject of a dissolution after a set period. Before that point there may be court rulings on maintenance (nafaqa), custody or visitation. We translate each with its case number and Hijri dates.
How a period of separation affects a US case is a question for your attorney. Until a divorce, khul' or dissolution is registered you are still married under Saudi law, and your marriage contract is still the current record. We translate any court ruling made during the separation, with its case number and dates, so the officer sees the full picture. See the Saudi divorce deed page and our Arabic 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.
