Tigrinya official documents can contain names in Ethiopic script, administrative terminology, stamps, handwritten entries and other details that form part of the source record. Send every relevant page so the translation can be prepared in context.
If a passport, visa record, university file or another official document already uses a particular Latin-script spelling of a name, include that reference with the source file.

Use the identity spelling already established in supporting documents.
Tigrinya names and place names can appear in Latin script in more than one form. Where a passport, visa record or application already establishes a spelling, provide that reference so recurring names can be handled consistently.
Provide the spelling used in the relevant passport or application where consistency across documents matters.
Dates, regions, cities, districts and other location details should be handled consistently across the document set.
Legible official notes, stamps, seals and handwritten entries should be included when they form part of the source record.
Home Office Translators prepares certified translations, but the receiving authority or organisation determines its own document, certification and submission requirements.
Tigrinya certified translation FAQs.
For official use, send the complete Tigrinya source and any current instructions from the recipient.
What Tigrinya documents can you translate?
Common requests include civil and identity records, marriage documents, academic records, legal documents, employment records, financial documents and other official records.
Can you translate Tigrinya documents into English for UK use?
Yes. Tigrinya-language documents can be translated into English for a stated UK use, with certification prepared for the selected service and recipient instructions you provide.
Does the issuing country matter?
It can. Document formats and administrative terminology may differ between Eritrean and Ethiopian authorities, so identify the issuing authority when known.
How are Tigrinya names written in the English translation?
If a passport or other official record already gives a Latin-script spelling, provide it so names can be kept consistent. Where no reference exists, the source document and context are used when preparing the translation.
How long will the translation take?
Turnaround depends on the number of pages, legibility, document complexity, language direction and any certification requirements. Timing should be confirmed after the source file is reviewed.
Can I receive the translation as a PDF or printed copy?
Digital certified PDF and printed-copy options are available depending on the selected service and recipient requirement.
