Arabic Urgent Translation Services

Urgent Arabic translation requests come from clients in high-pressure situations where a missed deadline can have serious consequences. These are the most common scenarios where our express service makes the difference:

• Upcoming visa interview with missing document translations — You have a UKVI interview in 24-48 hours and your Arabic birth certificate, marriage certificate, or supporting documents have not been translated yet. Our express service ensures you attend your interview with fully certified translations.
• Court deadline for Arabic legal documents — Family courts, immigration tribunals, and criminal courts set strict filing deadlines. Arabic divorce decrees, custody orders, and witness statements often need translating at the last minute when cases move faster than expected.
• Last-minute Gulf business meeting — A meeting with Saudi, Emirati, or Qatari investors is confirmed at short notice and Arabic contracts, presentations, or due diligence documents need translating overnight.
• Missed UKVI submission deadline — Your immigration solicitor realises a document is missing from your application pack. Emergency certified translation of Arabic documents can prevent your application from being delayed or refused.
• Emergency medical translation — An Arabic-speaking patient is admitted to hospital and their medical records, prescriptions, or consent forms need urgent translation for clinical staff to provide safe treatment.

Whatever your situation, call us on 0800 193 8888 or request an urgent quote. We also provide specialist Arabic immigration translation and Arabic court interpreting for related urgent needs.

We offer four express delivery tiers for urgent Arabic translation, each designed around common document types and their typical word counts:

• 4-6 hours — Single-page certificates including birth certificates, marriage certificates, and divorce decrees. These are our fastest translations and the most common urgent requests for UKVI applications.
• 12 hours — Multi-page documents up to 2,000 words, such as police clearance certificates, bank statements, short contracts, and academic transcripts.
• 24 hours — Complex documents up to 5,000 words, including technical, legal, and medical documents that require specialist Arabic translators with subject-matter expertise.
• 48 hours — Large documents up to 10,000 words, such as lengthy contracts, court bundles, medical records, and corporate reports requiring multiple translators working in parallel.

Quality is never compromised. Every urgent Arabic translation goes through the same process as our standard service — the same certified translators, the same review process, the same accuracy guarantees. The difference is priority scheduling: your document goes to the front of the queue and is assigned to an available specialist immediately.

All express tiers include certification accepted by UKVI, UK courts, the Home Office, and government bodies. You receive a certified PDF by email within the deadline, with hard copies posted next-day delivery if required.

UK visa applications are the single biggest source of urgent Arabic translation requests. Immigration deadlines are non-negotiable, and missing or untranslated documents can result in application refusal, interview postponement, or costly delays. We help clients in these common visa situations:

• UKVI applications with imminent interview dates — When your biometrics appointment or interview is days away and your Arabic documents are not yet translated.
• Spouse visa documents needed urgently — Marriage certificates, proof of relationship, financial evidence, and correspondence in Arabic all require certified translation before submission.
• Student visa CAS deadlines — Universities issue CAS numbers with expiry dates. Academic transcripts, degree certificates, and financial documents in Arabic must be translated before the CAS expires.
• Skilled worker visa employer deadlines — Employers sponsoring Arabic-speaking workers set internal deadlines for document submission. Certificates of good conduct, qualifications, and reference letters need fast translation.

The Arabic birth certificate is our most common urgent translation request, with documents arriving from Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and across the Arab world. Each country uses different formats and terminology, and our translators are experienced with all 22 Arab League country documents.

For urgent visa translations, we recommend calling 0800 193 8888 for the fastest response. You can also use our online quote form — select "Urgent" as your deadline and we will prioritise your request.
