Certified translation services in The Gambia
A certified translation is a complete and accurate translation accompanied by a signed statement from the translator or agency confirming its accuracy. It is what embassies, immigration offices, universities and courts ask for when you present a document written in another language.
ABC Translation provides certified translations for individuals, families, businesses, NGOs and law firms throughout The Gambia. We translate from and into English, French, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Dutch and many other languages, and we work with the national languages of The Gambia for recordings, statements and community material.
When a destination country requires a sworn or court-appointed translator, a notarised translation or a translation that is then legalized, we arrange the correct format from the start so your document is not rejected. Ask us about the specific requirements of the embassy or institution you are applying to.

Frequently asked questions
Which documents do you translate?
Birth, marriage and death certificates, diplomas and transcripts, police certificates, court documents, contracts, medical reports, bank statements, company documents and almost any other document.
Will my certified translation be accepted abroad?
Requirements differ by country and institution. Tell us where you will use the document and we will prepare it in the accepted format, including notarisation or legalization if needed.
Can I send a scan instead of the original?
Yes. For most certified translations a clear scan or photo is enough. Some authorities require the translation to be attached to the original or a certified copy, which we can also arrange.
