Written for Arabic bank statement records
What a US reader misses on an Arabic كشف حساب
An Arabic statement is read from the right, in Arabic-Indic digits, with line descriptions a US officer or underwriter cannot decode. The translation has to fix all three without touching a single figure.
Columns, digits and currencies
The column headings are مدين and دائن, debit and credit, with الرصيد for the running balance, and the amounts are printed in Arabic-Indic digits, so ٣٬٢٥٠٫٠٠ is 3,250.00. Egyptian statements show ج.م for pounds; the Kuwaiti, Bahraini and Jordanian dinars run to three decimal places because they are divided into a thousand fils. The translation keeps every amount as printed, writes the ISO currency code beside it, and never converts to dollars. A consular officer or lender applies their own rate.
Line descriptions an officer asks about
Lines read إيداع نقدي for a cash deposit, حوالة واردة for an incoming transfer, سحب صراف آلي for an ATM withdrawal, رسوم for a fee and راتب for salary, which in the Gulf arrives through the Wage Protection System with the employer's name on the line. A cheque deposit is إيداع شيك and a standing order أمر دائم, and an Egyptian statement may show a transfer from abroad as حوالة من الخارج with the sending bank named. Large cash deposits are the lines an I-134 officer or an underwriter questions, so the description is translated on every line.
Stamps, balance letters and Lebanese dollars
Egyptian and Jordanian banks print the statement at a branch and stamp every page for embassy use, often with a شهادة رصيد, a balance letter, on headed paper; we translate the stamps, the signatures and the letter with the statement. Lebanese statements since 2019 carry a complication of their own: a dollar balance from before the crisis is not the same as a fresh dollar account, and the bank's letter says which it is. The translation keeps that distinction in the bank's own words, since a US reader will take a dollar figure at face value.
Who is asking for your Arabic bank statement translation?
The translation is the same. What changes is whether the recipient wants anything added to it.
USCIS and the National Visa Center
Affidavit of support and consular processing cases take bank statements with a complete English translation and a signed certification. No notarization is needed.
UK Visas and Immigration
UKVI asks for a certified translation of any document not in English, with the translator's details and the date on it. Statements for the maintenance requirement are the usual request.
Lenders and landlords
A mortgage lender or a landlord checking income accepts a certified translation of your statements. Digital delivery as a PDF is usually enough; ask for a hard copy if they want one.
Before you upload
Three things that save a day of back and forth on a Arabic bank statement.
Download the statement rather than photographing it
A PDF from online banking is sharper than a photo and keeps every figure legible. If you only have paper, scan each page flat with the header and the closing balance in frame.
Send a complete period
A consulate or a lender names the months it wants. Send every page of each month, including pages with no transactions, so the running balance reads without gaps.
Tell us whose account it is
Give us the account holder's name as the passport spells it. Account numbers, amounts and the currency are copied exactly as printed; the headings and descriptions are translated.

Arabic Bank Statement FAQ
Most questions about pricing and turnaround can be answered faster by requesting a quote.
- My Gulf statement is already in Arabic and English. Do I still need a translation?
- Often only partly. Emirati, Saudi and Qatari banks print the headings in both languages, but the transaction descriptions, the branch stamp and any letter from the bank are usually Arabic only. Send the pages and we translate the Arabic that has no English beside it and certify the whole statement, so the recipient has one signed translation covering every page.
- How many pages will a six-month statement count as?
- A page is up to 250 words, and a salary account with a few lines a month fits several sheets on one page, while a trading account with card payments every day can run past 250 words on a single sheet. Send the PDF or clear photos and we quote the exact count before you pay, so there is no surprise.
- Can you translate US bank statements into Arabic for a bank or residency office in the Gulf or Egypt?
- Yes. Most Gulf banks and residency offices read English and will take the US statement as is, so ask before paying for a translation. Egyptian offices, courts and some Jordanian banks want Arabic, and a few accept only translations legalized through the consulate or made by a locally registered office, so ask the office which it needs. We translate into Arabic and can notarize the translation.
- How much does a certified translation cost?
- Certified translation is $25 per page, with a page counted as up to 250 words. Notarization, a mailed physical copy and an apostille are optional and priced separately.
- How long does a certified translation take?
- Standard turnaround starts at 24 hours and depends on the length and language of your documents. If you have a deadline, include it in your quote request.
