Stamped, signed and ready to submit. COT has provided certified translation in Cairo since 1992, in more than 120 languages, for personal, legal, academic and business documents.
A certified translation is a complete and accurate translation of an official document, issued on the translation office's letterhead and carrying its stamp and the translator's signature. The certification confirms that the translation is true to the original, so the receiving authority can rely on it without checking the source language.
In Egypt, embassies, courts, universities, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other government bodies ask for certified translations whenever a document is not in their working language. A plain translation, even a correct one, is usually rejected.
If an authority needs it in another language, we can certify it. These are the documents we translate most often.
Birth, marriage and divorce certificates, family records, national IDs, passports, death certificates and criminal records.
Degrees, transcripts, Thanaweya Amma certificates, diplomas, enrolment letters and course descriptions.
Contracts, powers of attorney, court rulings, sale and lease agreements, affidavits and notarial deeds.
Commercial registers, tax cards, articles of association, financial statements, audit reports and bank statements.
Medical reports, lab results, discharge summaries and vaccination records for treatment, insurance or travel.
Employment letters, HR certificates, sponsorship letters and full visa files for embassy and VFS / TLS applications.

The price depends on four things: the language pair, the type and length of the document, how specialised the content is, and how fast you need it. A one-page birth certificate from Arabic to English costs much less than a 40-page contract into German.
