Certified translation in Brighton for use in Pakistan

Pakistani offices read Urdu, and the Urdu pages are the ones carrying the meaning. A certified translation for Pakistan reproduces the English sheet in full — the body text, the wording inside a seal, the reference lines — and places a signed certificate of accuracy at the front. Your English paper is copied and stays with you; nothing is written on it and nothing is stapled to it.

The language Pakistan requires

Urdu runs right to left and is usually set in Nastaliq, where each word slopes downwards and letters join into one another. That shape is not decorative: a join made in the wrong place turns one word into another, and names suffer first. An official Urdu translation in Brighton is set by hand rather than converted, so joins, dots and vowel marks land where a Pakistani reader expects them.

Certification Pakistan accepts

The accepted form is a certified translation carried by a certificate of accuracy. On that one sheet sit the translator's name, the date, and a statement that the Urdu wording matches the English. A certified Urdu translator signs it, and there is no court oath underneath. That keeps the route short and means the page rate is the whole of the cost.

Per-page cost & turnaround

The rate is about £25 for a page of the source, certificate included, and counting is by sheet rather than by word. Standard work takes 2–4 business days from a complete set of scans; an urgent job is closed in 24–48 hours. A page dense with stamps takes the slow end of the window, because every mark on it has to be carried across too.

Acceptance in Pakistan

A certified translation in Brighton for Pakistan is accepted when the Urdu reads cleanly, the names match the passport, and the certificate at the front names a translator with a date. A registrar, a land record office or a school reads those three things before anything else. A name written one way on a birth record and another on a degree is the usual reason a file stalls.
