The title deed and how it is checked
Ownership of real estate in Saudi Arabia is shown by a title deed (sakk) issued by the Ministry of Justice. Older deeds are handwritten or printed paper documents from notaries and courts; newer ones are electronic. The ministry offers an online inquiry that looks a deed up by its number and date, or by its number and an owner's ID number, and a service to digitise paper or lost deeds.
The ministry identifies a property by city, district, plot number and plan number, and a deed also describes the land or unit. We translate each element in order and copy every number exactly, including the deed number and date. The owners are identified by their ID or iqama numbers, which we also copy digit by digit. See our Arabic page.
Estates, sales and agents
Property comes into US files through an estate, a divorce settlement, proof of assets or a sale. Where heirs share a property, the shares in the heirship deed are translated exactly. For an estate, the court's heirship deed and the title deed are usually translated together, and a relative acting in Saudi Arabia will hold a power of attorney that the deed inquiry service also asks for.
Dates on deeds are Hijri, and older deeds often have no Gregorian date at all; we add it. Deed numbers and dates are what the ministry's inquiry service uses to find a deed, so they are copied exactly. If the property is rented, the lease is a separate document; see the Saudi lease agreement page. For proof of funds, see the bank statement 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.
Frequently asked questions
My father's deed is handwritten.
Older deeds often are. We translate everything legible and note anything we cannot read.
Can a US office verify the deed?
The Ministry of Justice inquiry uses the deed number and date. We translate both exactly.
Do you convert square metres to square feet?
We keep square metres as printed. A conversion can be added in a note.
