Arabic is the language the file is read in
Papers used in Jordan are read in Arabic, so a certified translation into Arabic in Newcastle upon Tyne is what makes an English record usable there. Everything on the page is carried over: the heading, the entry number, the district, the registrar's title and the wording set inside every stamp. A ministry desk that finds text on the English sheet with nothing matching it in Arabic treats the file as incomplete rather than concise.
One person, one spelling
Moving a name between alphabets is the part that needs care. There is no official Arabic form of an English surname waiting to be looked up; it is written by sound, and several versions can be defensible. Trouble starts when two of them appear on two documents in the same file. So gather what you already hold, pick the spelling that appears there, and keep it across every page in the set.
What Jordan accepts
Jordan works with a certified translation produced by a certified Arabic translator, and that form is accepted by consulates and ministries alike. No court oath stands behind it. The signed statement of accuracy identifies the translator and the document, states that the Arabic matches the source, and carries a handwritten date and signature. Keep it fastened to the Arabic pages and the copy behind them so the set stays whole.
Rate per page and the timetable
The rate is £25 for each page as issued, so a certificate printed on both sides is two pages and a longer transcript may be more. Standard work runs 3–5 business days from a clean scan; the express route brings that down to 48 hours. Plan around the standard figure where you can, because a rushed name check is the one shortcut worth avoiding on a file that has to match older records.
The record stays in your hands
Only the translation is certified. Your record keeps its own form and stays where it is, since all the work is done from the images you provide. If the sheet you hold is faded, creased or has been amended, Newcastle Register Office issues a fresh copy of a civil record, which scans cleanly and cuts the number of queries. That office works by post rather than a walk-in counter, so allow a few days for a copy to arrive.
