Sindhi Asylum Document Translation to English

Certified Sindhi to English translation for asylum

Most Pakistani official documents are in Urdu and English. But papers from Sindh province, such as local letters, some court papers and personal evidence, are often in Sindhi. A general Urdu translator may not read them accurately.

Our Sindhi to English certified translation UK service meets the GOV.UK guidance. The translator confirms it is a "true and accurate translation of the original document", and gives the date, their full name and contact details (GOV.UK: Certifying a document (opens in a new tab)). We also add a signature and the translator's credentials, and we are members of the ITI, CIOL and ATC.

The Home Office has no approval scheme for translators. We meet its published requirements, and the caseworker or judge decides how much weight your evidence carries.

Sindhi documents we translate

We translate papers written wholly or partly in Sindhi, including:

• Identity documents: the Sindhi parts of ID and supporting letters; see id card translation for asylum
• Civil records: birth, marriage and death registration papers
• Police papers: complaints, FIRs and police letters. Our police report translation for asylum page covers layout and stamps
• Court papers: summons, bail orders and judgments
• Medical records: hospital slips and doctors' letters, often mixing Sindhi, Urdu and English
• Community evidence: letters from local leaders, political groups and religious bodies; newspaper cuttings

Together these make up much of your asylum claim evidence translation for the Home Office interview.

Sindhi script and dialects

The Sindhi script

In Pakistan, Sindhi is written in an Arabic-based script, from right to left. It has more letters than Urdu, around 52, with extra dots for sounds Urdu does not have. Sindhi is usually printed in the Naskh style, while Urdu usually uses Nastaliq.

Those extra dots matter. On a faded stamp or a quick handwritten note, one dot can turn one name into another. Our translators know the Sindhi letters well and flag any character they cannot read with certainty. If your document uses a different script, tell us when you ask for a quote and we will confirm before you pay.

Dialects

Sindhi has regional varieties such as Vicholi, the central standard form, and Lari in the south. Others include Siroli in the north, Thareli in the Thar desert and Kutchi. These differ in some words and spellings. Our translators recognise them and translate into standard English.

Documents from Pakistan in Sindhi

Many Sindhi clients have a mix of Sindhi, Urdu and English papers. We translate all three in one order. For Urdu-only files, see our main Urdu asylum document translation service.

After a Nikah Nama is registered with the Union Council, NADRA issues a computerised Marriage Registration Certificate (MRC). Some FIRs are computerised; many are handwritten. We translate every section number, stamp and signature and note anything unclear.

Dates on these documents are mostly Gregorian. Religious papers may add an Islamic (Hijri) date. We translate both as written.

English to Sindhi: Home Office letters in your language

Some clients, or their older relatives, read Sindhi far better than English. We offer English to Sindhi Home Office letter translation for decision letters, interview records and tribunal decisions.

Through our home office refusal letter translation service, you receive the whole letter in clear Sindhi script. We do not give legal advice. Ask a solicitor or an adviser regulated by the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA) about your options. The appeal time limit is 14 days if you are in the UK.

Each Sindhi translator UK asylum clients are matched with is a UK-based native speaker who translates professionally into English. We work to ISO-certified quality processes and never use machine translation for certified work.
