Who We Serve
The Egyptian community in Columbus includes Muslim and Coptic Christian families, healthcare professionals, and students. Egyptian documents are in Arabic and involve a specific bureaucratic system — family registries, civil status offices, and notarization requirements — that we know well.
What We Help With in Merion Village
We are a document preparation and translation service — not an attorney or embassy. We make sure every document in your packet is complete, accurate, and correctly formatted before you submit.
Egyptian Arabic Document Translation
Certified English translation of Egyptian birth certificates, marriage contracts (Katb Kitab), divorce certificates, family registration cards, and national ID cards.
Notarization and Authentication Guidance
Egyptian documents used in US proceedings often need notarization from Egypt's Ministry of Justice and authentication from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We explain the process and help coordinate with family in Egypt.
Family Registration Card (الحجة) Translation
The Egyptian family registration booklet is a comprehensive document covering all family members. Accurate translation — with all names, dates, and relationships — is critical for immigration cases.
Egypt eVisa Application Assistance
Egypt offers e-visas for US citizens visiting for tourism. We help with the application, photo requirements, and supporting documents.

Name Transliteration Inconsistencies in Egyptian Documents
Egyptian Arabic names transliterate into English in multiple ways, and different documents may use different spellings — Mohamed vs. Muhammad, Sherif vs. Sharif, Hany vs. Hani. When these appear across USCIS applications, it triggers RFEs. We carefully review all name spellings across your documents and prepare a name variation explanation letter where needed.
