❓ Frequently Asked Questions — And Detailed Answers from Al-Fahd Certified Translation
What is the difference between regular translation and certified translation?
Regular translation can be done by anyone who knows two languages, often used for personal or casual purposes.
Certified translation, however, follows very strict standards and must be issued by a licensed, officially accredited translation office, such as Al-Fahd Certified Translation.
- Certified translation offices provide stamped and signed translations, along with a declaration confirming the text is a true copy of the original.
- Certified translations are required by:
- Embassies and consulates
- International universities
- Immigration and nationality authorities
- Courts and legal bodies
- Global companies conducting cross-border business
With Al-Fahd, every translation you receive includes an official certification and stamp, ready for immediate submission.

Just send us your documents, and we will advise:
