ArabicAbout Egyptian Arabic and Document Translation for Australia
Egyptian Arabic (Masri) is the most widely spoken Arabic dialect with approximately 100 million native speakers. Egyptian media, films and music have given Egyptian Arabic global recognition across the Arab world. Egyptian official documents — birth certificates, marriage certificates (including both civil and Islamic formats), divorce decrees, national ID cards and police clearances — are written in Modern Standard Arabic, while names and place references follow Egyptian Arabic conventions.
Australia has the world's largest Egyptian-background Arabic-speaking community, concentrated in Sydney's south-western suburbs (Parramatta, Bankstown, Auburn) and Melbourne. Our NAATI certified translators are experienced with Egyptian civil registry document formats, Egyptian naming conventions (including the use of the father's and grandfather's names in formal documents), and the transliteration of Egyptian names for Australian purposes.
