Kurdish Certified, Notarised, FCO Legalized Translation

We provide Kurdish certified, notarised, FCO legalised translations in locations across the UK.

The types of Kurdish certification and notarisation

We are able to offer three types of certified Kurdish translation. It is important that you check with the appropriate authority which type of certification they will accept.

The first type of certification comes in the form of a letter printed on Knockhundred’s letterhead certifying that, as a professional translation company, Knockhundred has undertaken the translation.

The second type of certification is where the translation is stamped and signed by a Notary Public.

The third type of certification is when authorities require some notarised documents to be further certified/legalised by the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO).

Kurdish notarised AND/OR FCO LEGALIZED translation services

Knockhundred offers notarised translation services to our clients based in locations across the UK. This means that, if required, in addition to our own certified translation, we will have our own Notary Public certify or "notarise" the Kurdish translation.

A notarised Kurdish translation is also sometimes referred to as a "sworn" translation. It can also be called a Kurdish legalised translation.

We offer notarised Kurdish translations of...

  • birth certificates
  • death certificates
  • marriage certificates
  • divorce certificates and decree absolute
  • education certificates
  • qualification certificates and other qualification documents
  • certificate of no impediment (also referred to as CNI)
  • legal statements
  • declarations and legal declaration documents
  • Notarised translation costs from £155.00 + VAT (if applicable)
  • FCO legalisation and translation costs from £225.00 + VAT
Foreign and Commonwealth Office certification (FCO certification)

If you (or the public body to whom you are submitting your notarised documents) requires further certification, we can also arrange for our Notary Public to have the Kurdish documents certified by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. This process is also referred to as FCO certification or legalisation.

Some official bodies require this additional certification and we strongly advise you to find out in advance whether you require this service. In this instance, you are usually able to use the notarised and certified Kurdish documents outside of the UK.

The FCO certified Kurdish translation also contains a translation Apostille - an official FCO stamp confirming that the translation is legal and official.

Turnaround times for certified and notarised Kurdish translation

We can normally translate and certify your documents within a 24 hour period. However, you will need to allow additional time for posting hard copies of the original documents.

Where documents require notarisation, we would normally require 4 business days turnaround time.

Need notarised Kurdish translation services in a hurry?

We also offer a fast-track notarised Kurdish translation service. If you opt for this service, we will arrange for the certified Kurdish translation to be delivered by courier to our Notary Public who will in turn courier the documents back to you. In the case of a single certificate, this would reduce the turnaround time to within 2 business days, sometimes even possible within 24 hours (plus the initial delivery time of the originals from you to Knockhundred Translations). If you require this service, please contact us.

How much does notarised Kurdish translation cost?

For a single document (e.g. a birth certificate, a death certificate, a marriage certificate etc), we charge from £155.00 + VAT (if applicable).

This price includes Kurdish translation costs, Knockhundred's company certification and notarisation by our Notary Public.

We can accept payment in sterling, Euros or US dollars. Payment can be made directly into one of our accounts or via credit/debit card over the phone.

WHILE YOU’RE HERE... SOME QUITE INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE Kurdish LANGUAGE

The Kurdish language is related to Persian (or Farsi), the language spoken in Iran. Kurdish, like Persian, has also borrowed many words from the Arabic language. Until 1991, it was illegal to speak Kurdish in Turkey except at home. The skillful use of language is highly valued by Kurds. Cleverness and a command of poetry are considered important skills. Population estimates for the Kurds range from 5 million to 22 million. More Kurds live in Turkey than anywhere else. They are the second-largest ethnic group in Turkey, Iraq, and Syria. They are the third-largest group (after Azerbaijanis) in Iran. Kurds also live in Lebanon, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Germany, and other places across Europe, the United States, Canada, and Australia. Although they live among them, Kurds are ethnically unrelated to Turks, Arabs, and Iranians.
