Certified translation in Milan for use in Morocco
A document issued in Milan, headed for use in Morocco, needs a certified translation into Arabic first. The Italian original does not change at all; the translator works from a copy, and the household keeps its own paper the whole time. Only the finished translation carries the certificate, and it travels with the source document as a pair, not in place of it. This applies to a birth entry, a marriage record, a degree certificate or a company extract, since none of these count as an official record in Morocco while they remain in Italian.
For documents that also need legalisation before leaving Italy, Prefettura di Milano – Ufficio Legalizzazioni, Corso Monforte 31, 20122 Milano, handles the administrative and civil document step on the Italian side. That stage sits before translation, so a reader planning the timeline should place it first.
The language Morocco requires
Morocco's courts and ministries work in Arabic, and a certified translation into Arabic in Milan is what turns an Italian-language paper into something a Moroccan office will read and act on. An Italian original is not treated as an official record there, however clearly it is written; the Arabic version is the copy that gets filed and stamped.
This holds for a birth certificate used in a family registration, a degree used for a job application, a marriage certificate used for a spousal visa, or a company record used to open a branch. Each of these lands on a different desk in Morocco. All of them start the same way, with an Arabic version clear enough that the file does not bounce back.
Certification Morocco accepts
The certification Morocco accepts on this route is a signed statement of accuracy, done by a certified Arabic translator in Milan. Tribunale di Milano – Ufficio Asseverazioni, Via Carlo Freguglia 1, 20122 Milano, and Giudice di Pace di Milano, Via Francesco Sforza 23, 20122 Milano, both run the sworn-oath process called asseverazione, but Morocco does not ask for that step on this corridor; the translator's own signed certificate is enough on its own.
A notarised copy can be added too, for cases that call for one, such as a property sale or a court filing. That sits on top as an add-on, not the default. Most civil-record and degree translations for Morocco travel with the certificate of accuracy alone and skip the notary stage entirely.
Per-page cost & turnaround
An official Arabic translation in Milan for Morocco runs at roughly €30 per page. It is priced by source page rather than by word, so a two-page marriage certificate and a two-page company extract cost the same to translate, whatever the actual word count on each turns out to be.
Three to five business days is the usual wait, measured from when the source paper reaches the translator. A reader working to a tighter deadline can switch to the express service, which turns the same job around in 48 hours. That 48-hour figure belongs only to the express, faster-labelled option, not to a standard order.
Acceptance in Morocco
Once the Arabic translation is finished, it stays paired with the Italian original. A Moroccan office wants to see both, with the translator's certificate tying the two together page for page. Sending the translation on its own, without the source document beside it, is what makes a clerk send the file back for the missing half, whether the paperwork lands at a ministry desk, a consulate window or a company registry.
For Italian civil records that also need an apostille before they travel, that stage at Prefettura di Milano – Ufficio Legalizzazioni comes first, ahead of the Arabic translation, so the finished set reaches Morocco in the order a receiving office expects: original, legalisation, then certified translation.
