What comes with a certified Pashto translation
A Pashto order is returned with a signed statement of accuracy, and the certificate names the issuing office and the language the record was written in.
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.
- Names in the booklet: the record attaches the father's and the grandfather's name to a person, and the spelling of each was fixed by whoever wrote the entry. All of it is kept in order, and the certificate says which element is which for a US form.
- Two languages, one page: Afghan records mix Dari and Pashto on a single sheet, sometimes inside one sentence. Each block is translated as written and its language noted, rather than quietly rendered into one language.
- 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.

Pashto records from Afghanistan and Pakistan
Pashto is official in Afghanistan beside Dari, and it is spoken across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, so the record you hold was issued by one administration or the other. The table below sets out what US applicants send and what the English does with each.
Birth registration
- What usually appears
- A tazkira entry or a hospital birth record, often in Dari with the name written in Pashto
- What we do with it
- Translated in full, with the language of each block noted and the office named
Marriage certificate
- What usually appears
- A nikah nama signed by the mullah and two witnesses, or a court registration
- What we do with it
- Translated whole, with the officiant and the two witnesses kept at the foot where they signed
Police clearance
- What usually appears
- A certificate from the police or the interior ministry, with a photograph and a stamp
- What we do with it
- Translated complete, with the office, the reference number and the date it was issued
Academic record
- What usually appears
- School or university certificates (sanad), with marks out of 100 and the institution seal
- What we do with it
- Every subject and mark translated, with the scale explained in a note
The language on the page decides what the English has to say about it: a Pashto-speaking household often holds Dari paperwork, and the reverse happens too. The certificate names the language of each block rather than assuming it from the family's language.
What our clients say

Rahim S.
“The dower entry and the witness names were translated exactly as written, and the court took the bundle without asking for a second version.”
Zarmina K.
“A handwritten reference was transcribed and certified within 24 hours.”

Frequently asked questions
DHCTranslations translates Pashto records into English at our US offices, and the translator who did the work signs the certificate. Send a scan of every page, including both sides of the identity booklet, and say which office will read the translation.
One document is $54, and the translation, the signed statement and the PDF come with it. Beyond 400 words the rate is $0.12 per word into English, and a Pashto version of a US document is $0.14. A family set is priced on the words in every page.
A page paid for before 4pm ET on a weekday usually comes back the same day. An identity booklet with several endorsement pages normally takes the next business day, and a court file or a long medical record is quoted with a date.
Yes. The rule at 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) is a complete English translation with a certificate signed by the translator, giving competence, the date and contact details. Every page of the original is covered, and each block records the language it arrived in.
It is the Afghan identity booklet, and for many applicants it is also the only proof of birth, parentage and address. Every page that carries a name, a date or a stamp is translated, because a US form can ask for all three at once.
Not for the translation: both are translated, and the certificate says which language each block was in. It matters for the reading, so if you expected Pashto and the page is Dari, that is stated rather than smoothed over.
There is no single system, so the same name can arrive as Muhammad, Mohammad or Mohamed. One spelling is fixed for the whole file, and where a passport or visa gives its own, that spelling is followed so an officer comparing the two reads the same name.
Yes. The certificate is translated whole, with the mullah, the two witnesses and the terms of the marriage left where they signed. A handwritten addition on the back is translated too, since a US agency reads the page rather than the printed part of it.
It is a certificate of no criminal record issued by the police or the interior ministry, and the heading names which. It is translated complete with the office, the reference, the photograph described in brackets and the date of issue.
For many Afghan applicants the identity booklet is the record, and where even that is missing a sworn statement often stands in. It is translated as a statement, with the deponent and the witnesses, and never presented as a certificate.
Yes, at $0.14 per word. Affidavits and powers of attorney are the usual orders, and the Pashto is written in the script and register an Afghan or Pakistani office expects, with the names spelled as the US original has them.
