Urdu in the United States

Who speaks Urdu, and where they turn up.

Urdu is the national language of Pakistan and a scheduled language of India. It shares syntax with Hindi but uses Perso-Arabic script and draws vocabulary from Persian and Arabic for formal registers.

Chicago, Houston, Dallas, New York, northern New Jersey, DC and Detroit host large Pakistani and Indian-Muslim communities. Asylum applicants from Pakistan and Afghanistan also drive Urdu demand.

Linguistic considerations

Getting Urdu right.

Small choices — script, register and filing context — change whether a Urdu document is accepted on filing. Here is what we watch for.

Script & typography

Urdu is right-to-left in Perso-Arabic Nastaʿlīq script. We deliver RTL DTP carefully, preserving Nastaʿlīq typography where publication-quality output is needed.

Recipient alignment

Every Urdu translation is formatted to the exact recipient — USCIS, a specific court or a state agency — so it clears review the first time instead of bouncing for layout.

Yes. We preserve the visual layout of the source: tables, stamps, seals, signatures and hand-written annotations are described or re-created so the translated Urdu document reads alongside the original, page for page.

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.

Yes. Each Urdu translation ships on our letterhead with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy citing 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3), the USCIS regulation for foreign-language documents.
