Certified Pashto Translation Services
Certified Pashto translation for Afghan and Pakistani documents including tazkira (national ID), birth certificates, marriage certificates (nikah nama), school records, and asylum supporting evidence. Our Pashto translators understand both the Afghan and Pakistani document systems and accurately handle the modified Arabic script with Pashto-specific characters.
Why Pashto Documents Need Specialized Translators
Our Pashto translators are native speakers from both Afghanistan and Pakistan's Pashtun regions who specialize in translating tazkira (Afghan national identity documents), nikah nama (Islamic marriage contracts), school leaving certificates, jirga (tribal council) decisions, and military service records. They understand the four major Pashto dialect groups — Southern, Southeastern, Northern, and Central — and can identify which dialect variant appears in documents.
Whether you need a tazkira translated for an Afghan SIV application, asylum supporting documents from Kandahar or Peshawar, or Pakistani academic credentials from Pashto-medium schools evaluated for U.S. equivalency, our Pashto team delivers certified translations accepted by USCIS, immigration courts, and credential evaluation agencies.

Why Pashto Translation Requires Expertise
Pashto presents unique linguistic challenges that machine translation and non-specialist translators consistently fail to handle correctly.
Modified Arabic Script with Unique Letters
Pashto adds several letters not found in Arabic or Farsi: ټ ,ډ ,ړ ,ږ ,ښ ,ځ ,څ, and ۍ. These must be correctly identified and transliterated, as confusion between similar-looking letters changes meaning entirely — ز (z) vs. ږ (zh) vs. ځ (dz).
Handwritten & Low-Quality Documents
Many Afghan documents, especially tazkiras and court records from rural areas, are handwritten in cursive Pashto script. These require expert readers who can decipher individual handwriting styles and regional calligraphic conventions.
Tribal & Customary Legal Terms
Pashto documents may reference Pashtunwali (the Pashtun code of conduct) concepts like nanawatai (asylum-seeking), badal (justice/revenge), and jirga (council) decisions. These culturally specific legal concepts require careful translation with contextual explanations.
Dual Calendar Systems
Afghan documents use the Solar Hijri (Shamsi) calendar while Pakistani documents may use the Lunar Hijri or Gregorian calendar. Translators must correctly identify the calendar system and convert dates accurately for U.S. immigration purposes.
Machine vs. Professional Translation
See why Google Translate and AI tools can't replace certified human translators for legal documents. A single mistranslated term can delay your case or invalidate your filing.
“دا سند د افغانستان اسلامي جمهوریت د کورنیو چارو وزارت لخوا صادر شوی دی.”
“This document is issued by the Ministry of Interior Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.”
“This document has been issued by the Ministry of Interior of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.”

Certified & Notarized Pashto Translation for Immigration
USCIS, immigration courts, and state agencies require certified translations of all foreign-language documents. Our Pashto translations meet every federal and state requirement.
Certified Translation
Every Pashto translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy — a sworn statement by the translator attesting that the translation is complete and accurate. This is the minimum requirement for USCIS filings, court submissions, and academic credential evaluations (WES, ECE, NACES members).
Notarized Translation
A notarized translation adds a notary public’s verification that the translator’s signature is authentic. Some state courts, foreign consulates, and government agencies require notarization in addition to certification. We provide notarized Pashto translations with same-day availability.
Apostille Services
For Pashto documents being used internationally, an apostille certifies their authenticity under the Hague Convention. We coordinate apostille services with the Secretary of State’s office, providing a complete package: certified translation + notarization + apostille — ready for international legal use.
