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.
