Capabilities
A professional workflow matched to the content and its intended use
We do not force every file through one workflow. Subject expertise, review, technology and confidentiality are selected according to the content, risk and receiving-authority requirements.
Check the original
Some attestation paths require the original document to carry prior authentications before the translation is accepted for attestation.
Confirm translator status
When an authority requires a Saudi-certified translator, that requirement should be confirmed before production.
Keep data exact
Names, dates, document numbers, stamps and references must match the source faithfully.
Plan the sequence
Translation and attestation may need to happen in a specific order depending on the document.
Use official sources
Requirements change; verify current instructions through the relevant Saudi authority before submission.

Important questions
Before you send files
Is Tasheel Express a Saudi government accreditation body?
No. We do not claim Saudi government accreditation. We confirm the receiving authority’s requirements and, where a Saudi-certified translator is specifically required, that requirement must be built into the workflow.
Can I order from outside Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Files can be submitted online. Tell us the destination, receiving authority and intended use before pricing.
Can quotes be shown in Saudi riyals?
Yes. The Saudi quote experience supports SAR display. Final pricing still depends on volume, subject, review level, deadline and certification requirements.
