Arabic Translation Services for USCIS and Immigration Applications
If you are filing with USCIS, your Arabic documents must be translated into English and certified by a person or company confirming that the translation is complete and accurate. At American Translations and Interpreting Services, we prepare Arabic certified translations for green card applications, citizenship applications, asylum cases, visa petitions, adjustment of status, family-based immigration, employment-based immigration, refugee documents, and other immigration filings.
USCIS translations must not be summaries. The full visible content of the Arabic document must be translated, including names, dates, places, stamps, seals, handwritten notes, marginal notes, official titles, and registry information. Our team carefully reviews each document so the final English translation is clear, professional, and ready for submission.

Professional Arabic Translation for Immigration, Courts, Schools, Embassies, and Businesses
Arabic to English Certified Translation
Arabic to English certified translation is commonly required when submitting Arabic documents to USCIS, American courts, universities, employers, state agencies, licensing boards, and credential evaluation companies. We translate the full visible content and attach a signed certification statement confirming accuracy.
Our Arabic to English translation services are ideal for immigration packets, academic admissions, employment verification, professional licensing, family law matters, civil court filings, and official government use in the United States.
English to Arabic Certified Translation
English to Arabic certified translation may be needed for embassies, consulates, foreign ministries, international courts, overseas universities, marriage registration abroad, dual citizenship applications, inheritance matters, property transactions, and business filings outside the United States.
We translate English documents into clear, formal Arabic suitable for official review. When needed, we can prepare translations using Modern Standard Arabic and preserve legal or academic terminology.
Arabic Translation Services for Documents from Arabic-Speaking Countries
Arabic is used across many countries, but official documents are not always written the same way. A birth certificate from Iraq may look different from a birth certificate from Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Yemen, or the United Arab Emirates. Government seals, registry terms, court language, date formats, and name structures may differ from country to country.
American Translations and Interpreting Services handles Arabic documents from all Arabic-speaking countries and prepares translations that are clear for English-speaking agencies. We pay close attention to names, father’s names, mother’s names, family names, tribal names, places of birth, civil registry numbers, religious court references, and official stamps.
Countries Commonly Covered
We translate documents from Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Sudan, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Mauritania, Somalia, Djibouti, and Comoros.
Arabic Name Transliteration and Spelling Consistency
Arabic names can be written in English in different ways. For example, محمد may appear as Mohammed, Mohammad, Muhammad, or Mohamed. أحمد may appear as Ahmed or Ahmad. علي may appear as Ali or Aly. These differences can create confusion if your passport, visa, birth certificate, marriage certificate, and immigration documents do not match.
When preparing an Arabic certified translation, we follow the spelling shown on your passport, government ID, immigration documents, or previously accepted records whenever possible. This helps reduce the risk of inconsistency and supports smoother review by USCIS, universities, courts, and other agencies. If a name has multiple possible spellings, you may provide your preferred English spelling before the translation is finalized.
