The language Iraq requires
Iraqi offices work in Arabic. An English birth entry, degree or police check is a foreign sheet to them until an Arabic version sits with it. The English paper itself is left alone. A second sheet is written and signed, and the pair is handed over together.
One spelling across the whole trail
Most people who need this already have Arabic somewhere in their paperwork. A passport page, an older visa, a marriage record kept by family: any of them may carry your name in Arabic characters, written by someone else, some years ago. That spelling is now part of your trail whether you like it or not.
So the useful move is to hunt it down first. Send it with the scan and ask for a certified translation into Arabic in Liverpool that follows it. A clerk is comparing sheets, not testing a translator, and two spellings of one surname is the kind of thing that stops a file cold.
Where nothing exists yet, the choice is being made for the first time, and it will bind everything you file afterwards. Write it down and reuse it. An official Arabic translation in Liverpool is only as useful as its consistency with whatever you send next year.
Certification Iraq accepts
A certified Arabic translator writes the text and signs a statement of accuracy beside it. The statement names the person, gives their standing and confirms the Arabic and the English say the same thing. No court sits behind it and no oath is taken, so the chain from your scan to the finished sheet is short.
Consulates and ministries deal with translations signed on this footing, which is what makes it the right choice for a certified translation for Iraq. The readable name on the signature matters more than the letterhead above it, because that name is what a reader can trace.
Per-page cost & turnaround
The rate is about £25 for each page of the source paper, counted on sheets rather than on words. Standard work takes 3–5 business days from a clean scan, and an express run brings that down to 48 hours. Arabic takes longer to set out than a Latin-script language, so a long bundle rewards an early start.
Acceptance in Iraq
None of the work needs your paper to travel; an image is enough, and the record stays with you. For a birth, marriage or death registered in this city, Liverpool Register Office issues fresh certified copies from St George's Hall, St George's Place, Liverpool L1 1JJ, and a clean copy reads better on screen than a folded one.
