Urdu–English Document Translation in Pakistan: What to Check First
Documents such as agreements, affidavits, deeds and certificates often need to be translated between Urdu and English. A careless translation can change the meaning of a clause, so it is worth getting right.
Ask the receiving office first. Courts, embassies, universities and banks each have their own rules about what translation they accept and whether it must be signed, stamped or attested. Ask them before you order.
Use a translator who understands legal wording. Terms such as "indemnity", "lien" or "hiba" need the correct equivalent, not a word-for-word guess.
Keep names and numbers identical. Names, CNIC numbers, plot numbers, dates and amounts should match the original exactly.
Send a clear copy. A sharp scan or photo of every page avoids mistakes. Tell us if any stamps, handwriting or seals are hard to read.
Have it checked. Every DASTAWAIZ translation is reviewed for legal accuracy before delivery. Price depends on pages, language and urgency, and is quoted before work starts.
