Sworn Translation for Sri Lankans in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is one of the largest destinations for Sri Lankan labour migration — with Sri Lankan workers employed across construction, hospitality, healthcare, domestic services, and retail in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and Mecca. Certified translations of Sri Lankan national documents are required by Saudi employers, the Ministry of Human Resources (MOHRSD), and the General Directorate of Passports for work visa processing, Iqama issuance, and family residency applications.

Sri Lankan workers in Saudi Arabia frequently need certified translations of their documents when applying for Iqama (residency permit) renewal, when sponsoring family members for dependent visas, or when submitting qualification documents to Saudi professional licensing bodies such as the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) for healthcare workers. Police Clearance Certificates from Sri Lanka are a standard requirement for Saudi work visa applications and must be accompanied by a certified English translation. Many Sri Lankan domestic workers and construction labourers also need birth certificates and marriage certificates translated for family status documentation held by their Saudi sponsors.

Frequently Asked Questions — Saudi Arabia

Does the Saudi Ministry of Human Resources accept sworn translations from Sri Lanka?
Yes. Saudi authorities require certified English translations of foreign documents. Sri Lankan Ministry of Justice sworn translations — with the translator's official stamp, signature, and registration number — are accepted as certified translations for Saudi work visa and Iqama processes. For certain document types, Saudi authorities may also require attestation through the Sri Lanka Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Saudi embassy in Colombo.
Does my Police Clearance Certificate need to be attested before translation?
For Saudi work visas, the Sri Lanka Police Clearance Certificate typically needs to be attested by the Sri Lanka Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then legalised by the Saudi embassy in Colombo — with the sworn translation accompanying this process. The sworn translation is the first step. Contact us and we can advise on the full attestation chain your employer or agency requires.
I'm already in Saudi Arabia — can I submit documents from here?
Yes. Our service is 100% online — you can upload your Sri Lankan documents from Saudi Arabia, and we deliver the certified PDF by email within 24–48 hours. If you need the physical stamped copy sent to your Saudi address, we arrange DHL or FedEx delivery. You can also ask a family member in Sri Lanka to scan and submit original documents on your behalf.
Can Sri Lankan healthcare workers get their qualifications translated for SCFHS registration?
Yes. We translate academic transcripts, degree certificates, and professional licences for Sri Lankan nurses, doctors, and allied health workers applying for Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) registration. These translations carry the Ministry of Justice stamp and are accepted as part of the overseas credential verification process.

Important: Only Ministry of Justice Registered Translators Are Accepted

Embassies, immigration authorities, and professional licensing bodies only accept translations produced by a translator officially registered with the Ministry of Justice, Sri Lanka.
