Professional Dari Translation Services UK

Dari (دری) is one of Afghanistan's two official languages, spoken by approximately 50% of the population and widely used as a lingua franca across the country. Also known as Afghan Persian, Dari is closely related to Iranian Farsi but has distinct vocabulary, expressions, and pronunciation.

The UK has seen a significant increase in Afghan arrivals since 2021, including through the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) and Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP). Many Afghans require certified Dari translation services for asylum applications, resettlement documentation, family reunification, and integration into UK life.

Our certified Dari translation service provides accurate, professional translations that meet UK Home Office and court requirements. We translate Dari documents into English for asylum applications, UKVI submissions, university enrolments, professional registrations, and legal proceedings. Each translation is completed by native Dari linguists from Afghanistan who understand both Afghan documentation systems and UK official requirements.

We translate all types of Dari documents for UK use:

• Identity documents — تذکره (Tazkira/national ID), پاسپورت (passport), تصدیقنامه تولد (birth certificate)
• Civil registry documents — نکاحنامه (marriage certificate/nikah), طلاقنامه (divorce certificate), تصدیقنامه وفات (death certificate)
• Educational qualifications — دیپلوم (degree certificate), سند فراغت (graduation certificate), ترانسکریپت (transcript)
• Employment documents — تصدیقنامه کار (employment certificate), قرارداد کار (employment contract)
• Legal documents — حکم محکمه (court ruling), قرارداد (contract), وکالتنامه (power of attorney)
• Medical records — تصدیقنامه صحی (medical certificate), راپور طبی (medical report)
• Property documents — سند ملکیت (property deed), قباله (deed of sale)
• Asylum supporting documents — personal statements, witness testimonies, country evidence

All translations include certification confirming accuracy and our translator's credentials, meeting requirements for UK authorities.

Accurate Dari translation requires specific expertise:

• Afghan Persian vs Iranian — While Dari and Farsi are mutually intelligible, they have different vocabulary for many common terms. Our translators understand Afghan-specific terminology
• Tazkira complexities — The Afghan Tazkira (national ID) contains detailed family and tribal information. We translate all elements accurately and explain Afghan naming conventions
• Solar Hijri calendar — Afghanistan uses the Solar Hijri calendar. We convert dates accurately to Gregorian format while noting the original dates
• Document availability — Due to Afghanistan's situation, some documents may be unavailable or difficult to obtain. We advise on alternative documentation
• Historical context — Documents may be from different Afghan governments (republic, Taliban, etc.). Our translators understand various document formats
• Sensitive content — Many Dari translations relate to asylum cases involving sensitive personal experiences. Our translators handle documents with appropriate care and confidentiality

Our native Dari translators understand both the linguistic nuances and the sensitive context of Afghan cases, ensuring accurate translations that UK authorities will accept.
