Issued by the Jawazat
The Saudi passport (jawaz safar) is issued by the passports department of the Ministry of Interior, the Jawazat, and only to Saudi citizens holding a national identity card. Regular passports are green; diplomatic and special passports are dark green. Inside the Gulf Cooperation Council states, Saudis may travel on the national ID card alone, so some people have used their passport less than you might expect.
The data page follows the international standard, with the name in Latin letters, and rarely needs translating. Entry and exit stamps can matter in a US case because they show when you travelled, so they are translated with their dates. What does is everything else: Arabic endorsements, residence and exit stamps, and notes added by the Jawazat. USCIS wants a complete translation of every foreign-language page you submit. See the general passport translation page.
The passport spelling is the reference
Arabic names can be written in Latin letters many ways: Mohammed, Muhammad, Mohamed. If an older passport used a different spelling from your current one, tell us which one US records already show. The passport is usually the only document that fixes one spelling, and we follow it in every certificate and diploma we translate for you, keeping the original order of given name, father's name, grandfather's name and family name.
The State Department notes that, rarely, a well-connected sponsor has obtained a Saudi passport for a non-Saudi to ease travel, and that such a passport confers no citizenship. It also notes that anyone over 15 must hold a national ID card when a lost passport is replaced, and that applicants under 15 bring the family card. If citizenship matters in your case, the national ID card is the stronger proof. See also 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.
