Punjabi Translation Services

DHCTranslations handles Punjabi documents at our US offices, including Gurmukhi birth certificates, school records and affidavits, and every translation carries a signed statement.

DHCTranslations prepares certified English versions of Punjabi documents for USCIS petitions, US court files, university applications and licensing boards. Send scans, say which office will read the English, and a written price comes back before work starts; the finished PDF arrives with a signed statement and the date.

A single Punjabi certificate is $54, which covers the signed certification and the emailed PDF. A document past 400 words is charged $0.12 for each additional word into English, while English into Punjabi is $0.14 per word. Sets of marksheets or land papers are quoted on the total word count.

A one-page certificate paid before 4pm ET on a weekday is normally with you the same day, and a set of three or four civil records clears within one business day. A long judgment or a full university transcript gets a delivery date in the quote rather than a promise made afterwards.

Yes, on the same basis as any other language: a complete English rendering of every page plus a signed statement naming the translator, the date and our contact details, which is what 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) calls for. No Punjabi page is left out, including a reverse that carries only a stamp.

Both. Gurmukhi is the normal script of Indian Punjab and Shahmukhi is used in Pakistan, so a Shahmukhi page is read in the Perso-Arabic script rather than turned into Gurmukhi first. The certificate states which script the original used, because a reviewer comparing pages needs to know.

From the page itself. An Indian Punjab record has a Gurmukhi body with an English column and names a municipal corporation, panchayat, tehsil or board, while a Pakistani record usually heads its entries in Urdu or English and names the registering office. Where the header cannot be read we ask rather than assume.

Gurmukhi is caseless and several of its consonants have more than one accepted Latin form, so a name such as Gurpreet can be spelled several ways. One spelling is settled at the outset and used on every page, and a Bikrami date printed beside a Gregorian one is carried across with a note explaining the conversion.

Yes. A Punjabi-medium marksheet prints the subject names in Gurmukhi with no English column at all, so subjects, marks and the grading scale are all translated. Where the same paper exists in an English-medium version, the two are compared and any difference is flagged for the evaluation service.

It is a registrar's addition recording a correction, a delayed registration or a change of name. Such a note can alter what the certificate proves, so it is translated where it sits in the margin, with the registrar's signature and the municipal or panchayat seal beside it, not moved to the end of the file.

Yes, and the two are never merged. Indian Punjab records come from municipal corporations, gram panchayats, tehsil and SDM offices, boards and universities, while records from Pakistan's Punjab arrive in Urdu or English and are named that way. The certificate keeps country, province and issuing office distinct.

No. A readable scan or a phone photograph of each page, front and back, with every stamp visible, is enough to begin. You keep the originals, the certified PDF reaches you by email, and a printed set can be quoted on request and sent by USPS tracked mail with postage priced first.

Yes. Yes. Punjabi versions of US documents are produced at $0.14 per word, the rate charged when English is the source language. Birth certificates, diplomas and court orders translated this way carry the same signed statement and are used for registrations and filings in India or Pakistan.
