Assyrian translator

An Assyrian translation agency such as Ecrivus translates into and out of Assyrian (Neo-Aramaic) and runs the whole project for you. We select the translator who handles the right variant, confirm it with you, arrange certification where an authority requires it, and keep names and spelling consistent. You keep one point of contact for variant, scheduling and delivery.

We work with several Neo-Aramaic varieties: Turoyo/Surayt (dominant in the Swedish and wider Western European diaspora), Eastern Aramaic/Assyrian (Sureth, from Iraq and Iran) and Chaldean Neo-Aramaic. Because these varieties are only partly mutually intelligible, we confirm up front which one suits your document before we begin.

The UK has no sworn-translator institute, so for official acceptance we provide certified translation: a signed and dated statement of accuracy from the translator or the agency, with our contact details. Where a body asks for more, this can be escalated to notarisation by a solicitor or notary public, or to an apostille or legalisation through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). Availability of certified Neo-Aramaic translators is limited, so we assess what is possible per file and confirm the required level in the quote. You can check the official route at [GOV.UK — get a document legalised](https://www.gov.uk/get-document-legalised).

Most often these are asylum accounts and status documents for refugees from Iraq and Syria, birth, marriage and death certificates for family reunion, and community or association documents from the Assyrian and Aramean diaspora. UK-specific cases we handle include Home Office and UKVI immigration files and HMCTS court documents. We confirm the approach and any certification per document in the quote.

On working days you receive a quote within 1 hour. The lead time for the translation itself depends on document type, volume, variant and any required certification, and is confirmed in the quote rather than promised as a fixed turnaround.

An Assyrian translation agency takes the coordination off your hands, which matters all the more for an endangered language with several varieties and sensitive naming. We select the translator who handles the right Neo-Aramaic variety, arrange certification where it is needed, and keep the spelling of names consistent across documents. A skilled freelance translator does excellent work too; the difference an agency adds is bringing those moving parts together under a single quote, so you are not managing them separately.
