Certified Arabic Translation + Attestation
Certified Arabic Translation + Attestation
Egyptian government institutions, courts, and regulatory bodies require all foreign-language documents to be accompanied by certified Arabic translations before they will process any filing or application. The translation must be performed by a sworn translator recognized by the Egyptian Consulate General, and the translated document must then pass through the same attestation chain as the original. Submitting an uncertified translation or one produced by a non-recognized translator will result in rejection, regardless of how accurate the translation may be.
The quality of the Arabic translation directly impacts how Egyptian authorities interpret and act on your documents. Legal terminology, professional titles, institutional names, and technical descriptions must all be rendered accurately in Arabic to avoid misunderstandings that could delay or derail your application. Egyptian courts and ministries are particularly exacting about the precision of translated legal documents, and errors in translation can create enforceable discrepancies that are difficult and expensive to correct after the fact.
GreenAttest integrates certified Arabic translation and attestation into a single seamless service. We work exclusively with sworn translators who hold Egyptian Consulate recognition and specialize in legal, commercial, educational, and personal document translation. After translation, the certified Arabic version is processed through the full attestation chain alongside your original document, ensuring both carry matching authentication stamps. GreenAttest reviews the translation for accuracy and completeness before initiating attestation, and we deliver both the original attested document and its certified Arabic translation as a matched set. This integrated approach saves time, eliminates coordination between separate translation and attestation providers, and ensures full compliance with Egyptian language requirements.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Provide any relevant terminology guides or industry-specific glossaries with your document, as this helps the translator use the precise Arabic terms that Egyptian authorities expect for your field.
- If your document contains names of institutions, degrees, or professional titles, confirm the preferred Arabic rendering in advance to avoid discrepancies with existing Egyptian records.
- Order the combined translation and attestation service from the start rather than arranging translation separately, as this prevents formatting mismatches between the translated document and the attestation requirements.
