Saudi Arabia Context

Saudi passports are issued by the Ministry of Interior's General Directorate of Passports. The current biometric passport includes both Arabic and English text, but older passports may be entirely in Arabic and feature Hijri dates alongside or instead of Gregorian dates.

Document Format

Saudi passports contain the holder's name in Arabic and transliterated English, date of birth, place of birth, passport number, and issuing authority. Older-format passports feature Arabic-only text and may include Hijri dates that require conversion.

What You'll Need

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to translate my entire Saudi passport or just the bio-data page?

For most purposes, only the bio-data page needs translating. If you need visa pages or entry stamps translated, let us know and we will include those.

My Saudi passport already has English text. Do I still need a translation?

Current Saudi passports include some English text, but UK authorities and solicitors often require a full certified translation to confirm the accuracy of all details.

Is your Saudi passport translation accepted by UK banks?

Yes. Our certified translations are widely accepted by UK banks and financial institutions for account opening, mortgage applications, and compliance checks.
