Arabic translation in Luxembourg

Luxembourg is home to residents from Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Syria, Iraq and many other Arabic-speaking countries. Family reunification, marriage, residence permits, naturalisation or diploma recognition: these procedures often require documents translated from Arabic.

Our native translators read documents from each country, including handwritten certificates and stamps. They take care of the spelling of names: it must match your passport exactly, to avoid any rejection by the authorities.

Depending on the issuing country, a document must be apostilled or legalised before translation. Send us a copy: we tell you what is needed, then deliver a sworn translation accepted in Luxembourg.

On 1 January 2025, Luxembourg had 3,959 residents of Syrian nationality and 2,248 of Moroccan nationality, according to STATEC.

Apostille or legalisation?

Morocco and Tunisia apply the Hague Apostille Convention: their documents are apostilled in the country of origin before translation. For countries that have not joined it, legalisation by the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then its embassy is usually required. Send us a photo of the document: we check the formality before we start.

Names and dates

Arabic names are transcribed into Latin script differently from one document to another. We follow the spelling in your passport or residence permit so that all your documents match, and we convert Hijri calendar dates where the certificate contains them.
