If you are planning to work, do business, or live in Bahrain, you will need to submit certain key business, legal and even personal documents in Arabic to certain government bodies. These must be translations carried out by a translator certified by the official bodies concerned, otherwise they will be rejected.

Certified translations must be as close to the original document as possible, not just in terms of accurate content, but also layout and any stamps or other such markings. Only then will they be accepted by the Notary Public who provides the attestation on the translated document.

Fortunately, PRIME Translation is certified by all the relevant bodies in Bahrain, including the Ministry of Justice, the Notary Public, and the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI).  We can provide fast, accurate and cost-effective translations for any documents you might require.

Which documents require a Certified Translator?

For translations of any of the following, then a certified translator is required:

• Documents relating to the civil registry (birth certificates, marriage certificates and so on).
• Deeds (titles), school certificates, degrees and diplomas, affidavits, witness statements and court rulings.
• All documents to be produced before an official body or an authority (municipalities, ministries, consulates and so on).
• Certified translations are also necessary for legal paperwork, such as documentation used in trials or hearings.
• Immigration is also a key area that nearly always requires certified translation. If you are applying for a residency, it will likely require that all documents be submitted in Arabic and that translations of these documents must be certified.
• Documents related to trademark and patent applications. All supportive documents should be submitted to the Trademark Office and the Patent Office translated into Arabic by a certified translator.
• Documents which require legalisation by most government bodies.
