Countries Compared for Authentication
TL;DR
Arabic documents are written in Modern Standard Arabic regardless of which country they come from or which spoken dialect the person uses at home, so the written document itself stays consistent even across very different countries.
- Right to left script, our layout preserves stamps, seals, and letterhead correctly
- Origin countries range from Egypt and Morocco to the Gulf states, each with a different authentication path
- Some Arabic-speaking countries are Hague Apostille members, others require full embassy legalization, see the table below
Why Arabic Translation Is Different
Arabic is spoken across more than 20 countries, from Morocco to Iraq, each with its own dialect and its own document authentication rules. UK census data names Arabic as the most common non-English, non-Welsh main language in Wales, real evidence of how widely spoken it is outside Arabic-speaking countries too.
What stays consistent is the written language itself. Modern Standard Arabic is what appears on official documents everywhere, regardless of the spoken dialect where the document was issued. This is genuinely useful to know if you're wondering whether your translator needs to be from your specific country of origin. They don't. What matters is fluency in formal written Arabic and familiarity with how civil documents are structured, which is consistent across the region even where spoken language isn't.
What does vary by country is how the original document gets authenticated before or alongside translation, covered further down this page.

How Arabic Dialect Regions Compare
Spoken Arabic varies enormously by region. Egyptian Arabic, Levantine Arabic, Gulf Arabic, and Maghrebi Arabic are different enough that speakers from different regions sometimes struggle to understand each other in casual conversation. Written official documents don't have that problem.
Government forms, civil records, diplomas, and legal documents across the Arabic-speaking world are written in Modern Standard Arabic, the formal register taught in schools and used in media, regardless of where the document was issued. An Egyptian birth certificate and a Moroccan birth certificate use recognizably similar formal Arabic, even though Egyptian and Maghrebi spoken dialects differ quite a bit from each other. The same holds across Levantine countries like Jordan and Lebanon, and Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Our translators also work from the Library of Congress's standard Arabic romanization table when a document needs a name rendered consistently in Latin script, regardless of which dialect region the document is from.
Common Arabic Documents We Translate
| Document type | Notes |
|---|---|
| Birth, marriage, and divorce certificates | Standard civil records across Arabic-speaking countries |
| Medical diplomas and transcripts | Common for foreign medical graduates applying through ECFMG |
| Marriage contracts | Often required alongside or instead of a marriage certificate, depending on the country |
If you're a foreign medical graduate from an Arabic-speaking country, our translators are specifically experienced with the medical diploma and transcript formats ECFMG expects to see.

Arabic Script and Layout Conventions
Arabic is written right to left in an abjad script, where most vowels aren't written out at all, only consonants and long vowels.
- Right to left layout means the translated document needs to mirror where stamps, seals, and letterhead sit on the original, not just translate the text
- This matters more for Arabic than for most other languages on this hub, since misaligned layout is one of the more common reasons a translation gets sent back
- Our translators format every Arabic document with this in mind from the start
Arabic Document Authentication & Apostille Process
Authentication for the original document, not the translation, depends heavily on which country issued it, based on the current Hague Apostille Convention status table. Here's how it breaks down for the countries we see most often.
| Country | Hague Apostille status |
|---|---|
| Morocco | Member |
| Saudi Arabia | Member since December 7, 2022 |
| Bahrain | Member |
| Oman | Member |
| Egypt | Not a member, full embassy and consular legalization required |
| United Arab Emirates | Not a member, requires embassy legalization plus MOFA attestation |
| Qatar | Not a member |
| Jordan | Not a member |
| Lebanon | Not a member |
| Syria | Not a member |
If your country isn't listed here, we still translate documents from it. Contact us and we'll confirm the current authentication path, since this table covers our most common countries, not every one. Our Countries We Cover page has a fuller regional breakdown.

Arabic vs. Farsi: Two Different Languages
Farsi uses a script that looks similar to Arabic at first glance, since it's also written right to left in a Perso-Arabic style alphabet. They're different languages though, with different grammar and vocabulary, and Farsi's alphabet has extra letters Arabic doesn't use. If your document is actually in Farsi, see our Farsi page.
