About the Kurdish (Sorani) language.
Sorani, or Central Kurdish, is spoken in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, including Erbil and Sulaymaniyah, and in western Iran. Kurdish is an official language of Iraq alongside Arabic, and Sorani is the main written form used by the Kurdistan Regional Government. It is an Iranian language written in an Arabic-based script, from right to left. Other Iranian languages we translate include Kurdish (Kurmanji), Balochi, Dari and Farsi.
Sorani is not the same as Kurmanji, the Northern Kurdish of Turkey, Syria and the Duhok area, which is usually written in the Latin alphabet and has its own page. Documents sometimes arrive labelled only "Kurdish", so we check which one it is before quoting.
We translate in both directions. Sorani to English work is usually civil and identity documents from the Kurdistan Region and statements for immigration and asylum cases. English to Sorani work is usually community information and business content.
Common documents include birth and marriage certificates, identity documents, school records and court papers. Iraqi federal documents are often in Arabic, which we also translate. 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 (Sorani) translation
For official documents, tell us which institution will receive your Kurdish (Sorani) 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 (Sorani) 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.
