Certified translation in Naples for use in Mauritania
A document heading to Mauritania has to arrive in Arabic. That is the language Mauritanian ministries and consulates work in. An Italian-issued paper written in Italian needs a certified translation into Arabic in Naples first. This is what makes the paperwork readable to the Mauritanian office that will receive it. The source document is never rewritten. The translation is a separate paper, matched to it, carrying its own certification.
Anyone whose paper needs a sworn-translation oath as well can have it administered at the Tribunale di Napoli, Ufficio Asseverazioni, Centro Direzionale, Isola E/5, 80143 Napoli, or at the Giudice di Pace di Napoli, Via Foria 92, 80137 Napoli. Administrative or civil documents that first need legalising in Italy go through the Prefettura di Napoli, Ufficio Legalizzazioni, Piazza del Plebiscito 22, 80132 Napoli, which handles that step separately from the translation itself.
The language Mauritania requires
Mauritania's civil registries, ministries and consular section all conduct business in Arabic. A birth certificate, degree or business record drafted in Italian will not be read at face value there. It needs an official Arabic translation in Naples, carrying the same names, dates and figures as the source and nothing more, before a Mauritanian office will act on it.
The rule in this corridor runs one way: Mauritania sets Arabic as the target, and the translator's task is to render the Italian source faithfully, not to interpret or summarise it. No sworn Arabic translator in Naples is required for consulate and ministry submission; a certified Arabic translator is enough. Even so, the translation still has to be complete, with stamps, seals and signature blocks described in place.
Certification Mauritania accepts
Mauritanian consulates and ministries accept a certified translation that carries a signed statement of accuracy and the translator's credential. Naples's certified Arabic translator format meets that bar without an added sworn oath for this route. The credential attached to the pages identifies the translator by name and by qualification, which is what a consular clerk or ministry official checks alongside the statement itself.
Because a sworn translator is not part of Mauritania's requirement, the translation is finished once the statement of accuracy and the credential are attached. Anyone whose paper does separately need the asseverazione oath can still have that arranged at the Tribunale di Napoli before the pages are sent onward to Mauritania.
Per-page cost & turnaround
Certified Arabic translation for Mauritania from Naples runs at roughly €30 per page, calculated on the finished translated document rather than the source pages. Standard turnaround is 3–5 business days, counted from when the source document and instructions are confirmed.
An express service completing the same translation in 48 hours exists for anyone working against a tighter deadline, such as a Mauritanian consular appointment. That faster figure is the express route, not the default. Plan on 3–5 business days unless the express option is specifically requested and confirmed in advance.
Acceptance in Mauritania
Once translated and certified, the Arabic version travels together with the Italian original, and Mauritanian offices review the pair side by side: the source document for authenticity, the Arabic translation for its content. This certified translation in Naples for Mauritania keeps the paperwork in the form Mauritanian ministries and consular staff already work with day to day.
Anyone whose Mauritanian receiving office also wants the underlying Italian document legalised, not just translated, needs a separate step for that, handled through the Prefettura di Napoli, Ufficio Legalizzazioni. The Arabic translation and that legalisation should be requested as two distinct pieces of the same file, so a document is not sent to Mauritania missing a step the receiving office expects. Requesting both at the outset keeps the whole file moving on one timeline instead of two.
