Dari Translation Services
DHCTranslations translates Dari documents in the US, and the Afghan identity booklet is almost always the first page, because the rest of a file is checked against the name and the father's name printed in it. A certificate is $54, with the signed statement and the PDF inside that figure.

What a certified Dari translation is checked for
A USCIS officer, an asylum or family case, an evaluator or a state board reads three things: the whole text in English, a signed statement naming the translator, and a date. An Afghan booklet also carries a registration number, the father's name and a ministry stamp, and each is placed where the original puts it.
What the certification includes
- Signed statement of accuracy: the translator's name, signature and date, their CIOL or ITI membership number, our company stamp and our contact details.
- One name, no surname: where the holder has a single name, the translation does not invent a family name to fill a US field, and the father's and grandfather's names stay in the order the booklet prints them.
- Solar Hijri dates: the Afghan year is translated as written with the Gregorian equivalent in brackets, so a reader can check the conversion instead of trusting it.
- Certified PDF: the certified file is emailed at no extra cost, which is what a US filing accepts. A printed set can be arranged if a receiving body insists on paper, and is quoted per order.

An Afghan file hangs on the identity booklet, and its dates are Solar Hijri
The identity booklet records a person's name, the father's name and the district of origin, and a birth certificate, a school certificate or a court order is read against it rather than on its own. Dates on Afghan papers are usually Solar Hijri years, which start in March, so each one is given with the Gregorian equivalent beside it rather than quietly converted.

Two features of an Afghan file cause most of the queries. The first is the name: many Afghans hold a single name with the father's and grandfather's names beside it, and there is no family surname to place in the last-name field of a US form. The second is the date: a Solar Hijri year such as 1402 begins in March, so a document dated in the first three months of the Afghan year falls a year earlier than the Gregorian figure a reader would guess.
What our clients say
Rated 4.9/5 from 314 verified reviews for USCIS submissions, court filings and credential evaluations.
“My school-leaving certificate used Hazaragi wording in the subject names, and the note explaining the marking saved a second round of questions.”
Ali R.
“The identity booklet's later pages listed my brothers, and the translator included them rather than stopping at the first page, which settled a query about my family's composition.”
Farid N.
“A handwritten reference was transcribed and certified within 24 hours.”
Aisha B.

Frequently asked questions
DHCTranslations handles Dari documents in the US, including identity booklets, marriage contracts and school certificates, and each translation carries a statement signed by the translator who produced it.
It carries the holder's name, the father's and grandfather's names, the date of birth and the district of origin. Every other Afghan document is read against it, so it goes first in the order.
DHCTranslations charges $54 for a document up to 400 words, then $0.12 per word into English or $0.14 from English into Dari. The statement and the PDF are inside the price.
A single name stays a single name. No family name is invented to fill a US field, the father's and grandfather's names stay in the order the booklet prints them, and the same treatment is used on every document in the file.
USCIS asks for a complete translation with a signed statement under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), which every order carries. Send every stamped page of the booklet, because a partial copy is the usual reason a case is paused.
It is the Afghan calendar year, which starts around March 21. A date in the first three months of that year falls in the previous Gregorian year, so the translation gives both and does not leave the reader to work it out.
They have separate pages because the paperwork differs rather than the language. An Afghan file is built around the identity booklet and Afghan court papers, while an Iranian file centers on the birth certificate and the official gazette.
The grade 12 school certificate is translated with the subjects, marks and the ministry stamp intact. DHCTranslations explains the Afghan marking scale in a note, because an evaluator decides what it is worth rather than a translator.
A booklet approved before 4pm ET is usually emailed the same day. A family set with a marriage contract and two school certificates takes about one business day, and a court file is given a date in the quote.
Yes. DHCTranslations charges $0.14 per word from English into Dari, and the text is written by a native Dari speaker rather than converted from Iranian Persian.
