The language Afghanistan requires
Persian is the official language for all legal matters in Afghanistan. Any document from Leicester designed for use there must be accompanied by a translation into Persian. The authorities there will only examine court orders, school records or birth details in this specific language and no other. All stamps, signatures and official marks must be clearly visible on the translated pages.
Certification Afghanistan accepts
A certified translation into Persian in Leicester requires an official stamp and signature from a qualified translator. While you do not need to engage a sworn Persian translator in Leicester, the local government in Afghanistan expects every word to be faithfully rendered. Each page of your translated document carries a signed statement confirming it accurately matches its English original. The Leicester Registration Service can provide fresh copies of birth, marriage or death records so you never need to send off your only important paper.
Steps in Leicester
For most civil documents like birth certificates, the first step is to obtain a certified copy from the Leicester Registration Service at 115 Charles Street, Leicester LE1 1FZ. This public office works by post with no public counter for walk-in visits. The FCDO Legalisation Office then adds the certificate that makes the document valid overseas. After these steps, the certified translation for Afghanistan can be completed by a qualified language expert in the city. The finished document combines this official Persian translation in Leicester with the legalised English version.
Cost and processing time
A standard certified translation in Leicester for Afghanistan comes with a per-page rate of approximately £25. Most projects take three to five working days to turn around from the point you provide clear scans of the original papers. If you require a faster service, an express option can deliver the finished work within 48 hours. The official Persian translation in Leicester will be handled by a certified linguist who knows the specific terms used in Afghan courts and government departments.
