What Makes Urdu Document Translation Different
Urdu document translation has its own considerations, so here's how we handle it:
- Urdu and Hindi — related speech, different scripts
- Urdu and Hindi are closely related in everyday spoken form but are written in completely different scripts — Urdu in Nastaliq (a Perso-Arabic script, right to left) and Hindi in Devanagari — so a document in one requires a translator fluent in that specific script.
- Documents from Pakistan and India
- Urdu-speaking clients send us documents from both countries — Pakistani records like the CNIC and Indian civil records both come our way, and we're familiar with each format.
- Name transliteration
- Urdu names can be romanized several different ways in English; we keep your name spelling consistent with your passport or prior USCIS filings across every document.
- Sending a document to Pakistan or India instead?
- if your document needs to go to a government office in either country, the requirement for official use there is different, distinct from the U.S. Certificate of Accuracy we provide. Confirm with the receiving office.
What that means for your document
Urdu documents can come from either Pakistan or India, with different document formats and name-transliteration conventions; an unfamiliar translator can trip on either one.
Documents We Most Commonly Translate From Urdu
These are the documents we translate from Urdu most often:
- Birth Certificate Translation — The single most common document we translate from Urdu, often a CNIC entry from Pakistan.
- Marriage Certificate Translation — Frequently needed for USCIS filings, civil matters, and family cases.
- Diploma Translation — Commonly needed for education, employment, and credential evaluation.

The translation matched our birth certificate exactly, and it was accepted by USCIS on the first try. Turnaround was faster than I expected.

Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions.
The questions people ask before ordering a Urdu translation.
How long does a certified Urdu translation take?
Most are completed within 24–48 hours. Expedited and same-day delivery are available when a deadline is close.
Will USCIS accept my certified Urdu translation?
Yes. We provide a signed Certificate of Accuracy with every translation, the standard format USCIS and most U.S. agencies require for Urdu-language documents.
Is Urdu the same as Hindi?
The two languages are closely related in everyday spoken form, but they're written in completely different scripts — Urdu in Nastaliq, Hindi in Devanagari. This page is for documents written in Urdu specifically.
My document is a Pakistani CNIC — can you translate it?
Yes. We regularly translate CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) entries, along with birth certificates, marriage certificates, and other Pakistani civil documents.
My document is from India, not Pakistan — does that change anything?
No. We're familiar with Urdu-language document formats from both India and Pakistan and translate either accurately.
What documents do you most commonly translate from Urdu?
Birth certificates, CNIC entries, marriage certificates, and diplomas are the most common, but we translate any personal, legal, or business document from Urdu.
My document needs to go to Pakistan or India, not a U.S. agency. Is this the right page?
If your document is headed to a government office in either country, the requirement for official use there is different, a distinct process from the U.S. Certificate of Accuracy we provide. Confirm with the receiving office whether this applies to your case.
Can a bilingual friend or family member translate my Urdu documents instead?
No. USCIS and most agencies require an independent, certified translator, not a relative or friend. A self-interested translation is typically rejected.
