Written for Arabic vaccination record records
What is on an Arabic immunization card
Most Arabic vaccination records are a small card filled in by hand at a government clinic, and the vaccine names on it follow that country's schedule rather than the CDC's.
Egypt: the card from the health office
An Egyptian child gets the card at the مكتب الصحة where the birth was registered, and the nurse stamps each visit. The entries use Egyptian names: الدرن for BCG, شلل الأطفال for polio, given both as نقط (oral drops) and حقن (injection), الخماسي for the pentavalent shot, الثلاثي الفيروسي for MMR and الكبدي ب for hepatitis B. The translation gives the US name on each line with the Arabic in brackets, so a nurse can match the card to the CDC schedule without guessing which Arabic word was which vaccine.
Jordan, Syria and the Gulf
Jordanian cards are issued at Ministry of Health mother and child centres and Syrian ones carry the heading وزارة الصحة with the title بطاقة تلقيح, the Levantine word for vaccination where Egypt says تطعيم. Syrian families who left after 2011 often hold a card with doses added later in Jordan, Lebanon or Turkey, sometimes in two languages on one card, and we translate every hand on it. Saudi Arabia now keeps the record in the Sehhaty app and prints a certificate on request, dated in both calendars.
Digits and dates
Egyptian, Gulf and Levantine cards write the numbers in Arabic-Indic digits, so a date reads ١٥/٣/٢٠١٩ and is day first. A Saudi card may give the date in the Hijri year alone. The translation rewrites every date in Western digits with the month in words and adds the Gregorian date where only the Hijri one is printed. A dose written as ١٥/٣ with no year is left without one; we do not fill it in from the doses around it.
Who is asking for your Arabic vaccination record translation?
The translation is the same. What changes is whether the recipient wants anything added to it.
USCIS
USCIS asks for a complete English translation and a signed certification from the translator. No notarization is needed.
Schools, clinics and employers
Most ask for a certified translation they can read next to the original. Digital delivery as a PDF is usually enough; ask for a hard copy if they want one.
US passports and the Department of State
The Department of State wants the translation notarized. Add notarization at checkout and we handle the rest.
Before you upload
Three things that save a day of back and forth on a Arabic vaccination record.
Photograph each page flat and in daylight
Vaccination cards are small and often handwritten. A flat, well-lit photo of every page, including the cover, lets the translator read each date and lot number.
Tell us whose record it is
Children's cards often carry a nickname or no surname. Give us the full name as it appears on the passport so the translation matches the rest of the file.
Leave vaccine names and lot numbers to us
Trade names, lot numbers and stamps are copied exactly as written, and the headings around them are translated, so a clinic or school can read the schedule without guessing.

Arabic Vaccination Record FAQ
Most questions about pricing and turnaround can be answered faster by requesting a quote.
- Do you translate the COVID vaccination certificate from Egypt or the Gulf?
- Yes. The Egyptian Ministry of Health certificate and the Saudi and Emirati app certificates are printed with English beside the Arabic, so often only the stamps, the vaccine brand line and the officer's name need translation. Send the whole page and we translate what is in Arabic only, with a certification that covers the full document.
- My card only lists the vaccine, not the brand or lot number. Will a US clinic accept it?
- That is normal for an Arabic card; the nurse writes the vaccine name and the date and stamps it, and the lot sticker is rare. The translation reproduces exactly what is there. A civil surgeon or school decides whether to count a dose, and any vaccine with no readable date is usually given again, so a clear scan of every dated line matters more than anything else.
- The card is for an adult with only childhood doses. Is it still worth translating?
- Usually yes. For Form I-693 the civil surgeon needs to see which doses you had before deciding which to give now, and a translated childhood card can save several shots if it shows complete MMR, hepatitis B or polio series. If you also had a tetanus or hepatitis shot as an adult at a Gulf clinic, send that printout too and we translate both under one order.
- 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.
