Why Certified Translation Matters in Morocco
If you’re making any official applications in Morocco, authorities require that you use certified translation services, also known as sworn translations, rather than standard or informal translations.
For your documents to be legally valid for use, they need to be translated into Arabic or Amazigh by a sworn translator accredited by Morocco's Ministry of Justice to be officially accepted.
Using non-certified or machine-based translations can lead to:
Processing or appointment delays
Rejections from official authorities
Repeat submissions, additional costs, and loss of time
A valid sworn translation helps you avoid these issues by ensuring your documents meet all legal and administrative requirements from the start.
In some cases, you may need additional legalisation steps such as apostille seals or consular/legal certification to make your documents valid for cross-border use.
Translayte is a leading provider of certified translation services for official procedures with courts, notaries, universities, banks, and migration authorities. Our translations are handled by native speakers who understand the language and the formatting requirements of Moroccan and global authorities.
Every translation is done by a translator recognised by Moroccan authorities and accompanied by a signature confirming its accuracy. With over 100,000 satisfied customers and lots of 5-star reviews on Trustpilot, customers trust Translayte for accurate, compliant translations that get accepted the first time.
