Documents intended for government agencies, banks, courts, educational institutions, or international organizations require not only a competent translation but also adherence to specific formatting and procedural standards. This is particularly important when using certificates, contracts, powers of attorney, financial records, and other official documents outside the country of issuance.
Nawras Translation is an Amman-based agency specializing in certified, legal, corporate, and other types of translation. The company offers services for documents used both within Jordan and internationally. According to its website, the agency has been operating in the professional translation sector since 2004. Further details regarding their translation services can be found on nawrastranslation.com.
Certified Document Translation
A core area of Nawras Translation’s business is the translation of official documents. Such materials are often required for visa applications, academic records, government procedures, employment, or dealings with foreign organizations.
Examples listed on the website include birth certificates, academic transcripts, and visa-related documents. Accuracy regarding personal details, dates, organization names, and other specific data is crucial for these types of documents; an error in even a single detail can necessitate the re-processing of the document.
The agency also offers services related to the subsequent legalization of documents and their submission to the relevant authorities.
Legal Translation
A distinct area of specialization is certified legal translation. This service is essential when dealing with:
- contracts;
- court documents;
- powers of attorney and other legal instruments.
Legal translation requires more than a literal substitution of words from one language to another. It demands the accurate rendering of legal terminology, document structure, the names of the parties involved, and specific wording upon which the legal meaning of the text may depend. Nawras Translation states that it provides translations intended for use at the Ministry of Justice, with notaries, and at embassies in Jordan. However, specific requirements regarding the certification and acceptance of translations depend on the organization to which the document is being submitted; therefore, it is important to consider the requirements of the relevant institution before preparing the documents.
