Arabic Passport Translation
Professional translation of Arabic passports (جواز سفر) from all Arab countries for UK visa applications, right to work checks, and official purposes. Most modern Arab passports are bilingual Arabic/English on the bio-data page, but endorsements, observations, and visa stamps are frequently in Arabic only. We also translate travel documents issued by UNRWA for Palestinian refugees and laissez-passer documents for stateless individuals.

Iraqi passports issued post-2003 differ from Ba'athist-era documents. Syrian passports remain valid internationally despite the conflict. Saudi passports are issued by the Jawazat (Directorate General of Passports). Palestinian travel documents come from the PA or UNRWA. Maghreb country passports may include French alongside Arabic.
