How It Works

  1. Send your documents. Clear scans on WhatsApp, or visit one of our branches.
  2. We review the file and confirm which documents need translation and the delivery time.
  3. A specialist human translator prepares the translation, and a second linguist reviews it against the original, checking names, dates, numbers, and stamps.
  4. You confirm the details. Names and dates are the details most often queried, so we ask you to check them.
  5. You receive the final file, signed and stamped, ready to submit. Delivery to your door is available in Cairo.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a translation for my embassy or visa file?

It depends on the country, the visa or permit category, and the office handling your file. Check your application checklist, then send it to us and we will tell you which documents need translation.

Do embassies have a list of approved translators?

Rules differ by country and application type, so check the current checklist on the official website. If it names a specific type of translator or accreditation, tell us first and we will confirm whether we can cover your case before you pay.

Do documents need Foreign Ministry attestation first?

Some applications ask for attestation or legalisation of the original. In that case the original is attested first and then translated. We translate every stamp and attestation on the document, including the Foreign Ministry's.

How long does an embassy translation take?

It depends on the number of documents, their complexity, and how urgent your request is. Tell us your submission or appointment date when you send the documents.

Can I order from outside Egypt?

Yes. Send clear scans on WhatsApp and we will confirm the best delivery option for you.
