Urdu translation and interpretation.
Two dedicated service tracks — each with subject-matter linguists, a second-pair review and the compliance overlay that Urdu filings and sessions require.
Urdu Certified Translation
Urdu translation is heavy on NADRA-issued vital records from Pakistan (birth, marriage, CNIC), educational credentials from Pakistani boards and universities, and asylum supporting documents.
Urdu Professional Interpretation
We interpret Urdu for asylum interviews, hospital and maternity appointments, and immigration-court proceedings.

Native subject-matter linguist
A native Urdu translator fluent in your document's field — legal, medical, academic or financial.
