My certificate lists my grandfather's name. Is that translated?

Yes. Every name in the patronymic chain is translated exactly as written, because Arabic civil records commonly identify a person by given name, father's name and grandfather's name together.

Is a hospital birth notice enough?

We can translate a hospital notice, but it is not the same as a civil registry document. Receiving authorities in Australia usually ask for the certificate issued by the civil status or personal status department, so check their checklist before relying on a hospital notice alone.

Do you translate the revenue stamps and legalisation marks?

Yes. Revenue stamp values, consular legalisation stamps and any attached ministry authentication are translated in full, not summarised.

My certificate is from Lebanon and lists a sect or religion. Will that be translated?

Yes, where it appears on the document. We translate the content shown on the certificate; we do not add or remove fields.

Arabic Birth Certificate Translationشهادة ميلاد / وثيقة ولادة

Arabic birth certificates vary a lot by country. Lebanon's Directorate General of Personal Status issues a birth document (وثيقة ولادة) and civil registry extracts, Egypt's Ministry of Interior issues computerised certificates with a national ID number, and Iraq and Syria issue civil status extracts. We translate whichever format you hold, field by field, and keep the issuing country's terminology rather than substituting an Australian equivalent.

Names, script and upload tips

Some Arabic documents carry Hijri dates as well as Gregorian ones. We translate both as written and never convert one into the other silently. Names are romanised using your passport spelling as a reference where supplied, because the same Arabic name (محمد) can be Mohammad, Muhammad or Mohamed.
