Kurmanji translation services in St Albans
Document translation is mostly handled by email: your file goes to a Kurmanji native translator, the translated version comes back to you in the format you need. So even though this page is about St Albans, location matters less for translation than it does for interpreting: we deliver to clients in St Albans the same way we deliver to clients anywhere else in the UK. The St Albans-specific bit is the local context: if your document is for a St Albans solicitor, a St Albans hospital or a St Albans university, we'll handle the formatting and the accompanying paperwork the way those bodies expect.
Certified Kurmanji translation
For most UK official use in St Albans (UKVI applications, court proceedings, university admissions, registry office work, Home Office cases), certified Kurmanji translation is what's required. We provide that as standard: the translated document plus a signed declaration of accuracy on Prism Linguistics letterhead, with the translator's name and our company stamp. The UK has no sworn translators, so certification is what UK offices accept. If an office abroad also wants an apostille or a notarised copy, that step is yours or your solicitor's; we can translate documents that already carry one.
What we translate
How to order a Kurmanji translation in St Albans
Send us the document. We'll come back within an hour during UK office hours with a price and a delivery date. A Kurmanji native translator with the right subject background does the work; a second linguist reviews it; we deliver in the format you asked for. Standard turnaround for a short certificate is normally next working day; longer pieces are quoted with a realistic date.
English to Kurmanji translator (and the other way round) in St Albans
We work in both directions. Customer-facing copy (websites, brochures, ads, emails) is adapted rather than translated word for word, so it reads like it was written in Kurmanji in the first place. Legal, medical and technical documents stay faithful to the source, with formatting matched to the original.

About St Albans
St Albans sits in Hertfordshire, a cathedral city just north of London, and most of our work here comes through its courts and hospitals. St Albans Crown Court shares its building with the county court and handles the more serious cases, while first hearings and summary matters go to the magistrates' court. St Albans City Hospital, run by West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, adds day-to-day demand for interpreters and certified translations, and the city's place on the London commuter belt means a good deal of immigration and family work passes through too. The languages we are asked for reflect who lives and travels through here. Requests span the more common European and South Asian languages, alongside Arabic and the languages that immigration tribunals and family courts tend to raise. We are also called on for the rarer languages a single hearing can turn on, and those are usually the requests other agencies struggle to fill.

About the Kurmanji language
Kurmanji, or Northern Kurdish, is spoken by much of the UK's Kurdish community, which the 2021 census recorded at around 94,000, with roughly a third in Greater London and further concentrations in the West Midlands, Yorkshire and the North West. Our Kurmanji translation work is heavily weighted towards asylum and immigration tribunal material and civil documents for Home Office and UKVI cases, alongside court papers and school or academic transcripts sent for UK ENIC evaluation. We arrange Kurmanji interpreters regularly for NHS appointments and legal work. Kurmanji, an Iranian language written in the Latin-based Hawar alphabet and distinct from Sorani, has around 17 million speakers across Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran and the diaspora.
