About the Kurdish (Kurmanji) language.
Kurmanji, or Northern Kurdish, is the most widely spoken Kurdish language. It is spoken in south-eastern Turkey, north-eastern Syria, the Duhok area of Iraq, north-western Iran and Armenia, and by a large diaspora in Europe. It is an Iranian language. Other Iranian languages we translate include Kurdish (Sorani), Balochi, Dari and Farsi.
In Turkey and Syria Kurmanji is written in a Latin alphabet; in Iraq it is sometimes written in an Arabic-based script. It is not the same as Sorani, the Central Kurdish of Erbil and Sulaymaniyah, which has its own page. Documents sometimes arrive labelled only "Kurdish", so we check which one it is before quoting.
We translate in both directions. Kurmanji to English work is usually personal documents and statements for immigration and asylum cases. English to Kurmanji work is usually community information.
Official documents from Turkey, Syria and Iraq are often in Turkish or Arabic, which we also translate. Kurmanji documents include letters, affidavits and community and personal records. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.

Certified Kurdish (Kurmanji) translation
For official documents, tell us which institution will receive your Kurdish (Kurmanji) translation and send its written requirements. We assess the language pair and confirm whether the project needs a signed statement of accuracy, a sworn translator or another process. Acceptance is decided by the receiving institution.
Common documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, degree certificates and police clearance certificates. Requirements differ between courts, embassies, universities and immigration authorities, so tell us where the Kurdish (Kurmanji) translation will be submitted and send any written instructions you have. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
