Arabic translation for Saudi Arabia (KSA)

Saudi Arabia is the largest economy in the Arab world, and its Vision 2030 programme has drawn US companies, universities and professionals into the Kingdom. That brings a steady need for accurate English–Arabic translation, in both directions.

For companies working in the Kingdom

• Contracts, tenders and proposals for Saudi clients and government entities
• Company documents for registration and licensing: articles, resolutions, certificates of incorporation
• Websites, apps and marketing localized for Saudi audiences
• HR policies, training and safety materials for Saudi teams
• Arabic product labels and manuals. See Arabic DTP.

For individuals

• Degrees and transcripts for professional accreditation and employment
• Marriage, birth and police certificates for family visas
• Saudi documents translated into English for US immigration, courts or universities. See certified translation.

Saudi document requirements

Saudi Arabia is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so many US public documents (and notarized translations) can be authenticated with an apostille from the issuing state. Some Saudi government bodies and courts, however, require translations produced or stamped by a translation office licensed in the Kingdom. Before ordering, ask the receiving authority:

1. Will they accept a translation prepared outside Saudi Arabia?
2. Do they need the translation notarized and apostilled?
3. Should the original document be apostilled first, the translation, or both?

If a locally licensed translation is mandatory, our translation can still serve as an accurate working version for your review.

Writing for Saudi readers
