How Asal Helps With Sudan Documents
We are a document preparation and translation service — not an attorney or embassy. We make sure every document in your packet is correct before you submit.
Certified Arabic to English Translation
We translate Sudanese birth certificates, marriage contracts (Aqd Zawaj), national ID cards (Hawiyya Wataniyya), and school certificates from Arabic into certified English.
Conflict-Affected Records Strategy
For clients from Darfur, Kordofan, Khartoum state, or other areas with destroyed registries, we help build alternative evidence packages with affidavits and secondary records.
Sudanese Passport Renewal Assistance
We help Sudanese nationals in Columbus organize documents for passport renewal at the Sudanese Embassy, including translated supporting records and photos.
Document Organization for USCIS Applications
We organize your complete document packet in the order USCIS requires, with cover letters explaining any missing or incomplete records.
What You Typically Need
Every case is different — requirements vary by visa type and individual circumstances. We review your specific documents when you come in.
- 1Sudanese passport or national ID (Hawiyya)
- 2Birth certificate from civil registry (we translate from Arabic)
- 3Marriage contract (Aqd Zawaj, Arabic, we translate)
- 4Family registration record
- 5Police clearance certificate (for some applications)
- 6Affidavits from family witnesses (for missing records)
- 7School or educational records as secondary evidence
Accessing Records From Conflict Zones
Conflict in Sudan — particularly in Darfur, Blue Nile, South Kordofan, and now Khartoum — has destroyed or made inaccessible many civil registry offices. Clients from these areas frequently cannot obtain birth certificates, marriage certificates, or ID documents through normal channels. We help these clients prepare alternative evidence packages that include sworn affidavits from family members, tribal leader letters, school records, religious records, and country condition documentation. USCIS and immigration courts accept these when properly prepared.
