Afghan Persian to English Translation Services in Arlington
Certified Afghan Persian to English translation is the core of our document work: the paper tazkira and e-Tazkira, the nikah khat, degrees and transcripts, each rendered in full by a qualified Afghan Persian translator with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
Afghan Persian is Dari under another name, and the paperwork is the same. The tazkira leads every Afghan Persian file. The paper version, written in Dari and Pashto, records a given name, father's name and grandfather's name rather than a surname and is usually handwritten and stamped; the e-Tazkira card issued by the National Statistics and Information Authority since 2018 prints the same fields. State Department SIV guidance asks for a scanned tazkira with a certified English translation, or the passport data page, alongside the employer's HR letter and a supervisor's recommendation. The marriage record (nikah khat) comes second, and USCIS reads an Afghan Persian nikah khat closely on a spouse petition because it may be issued years after the wedding, by a court or an embassy, and lists witnesses rather than a registrar. Degree certificates and transcripts in Afghan Persian arrive for credential evaluation and employment filings. The recurring trap is the surname: an Afghan Persian translator who invents one to fill a US form creates a mismatch across tazkira, passport and I-94 that the applicant then has to explain. We translate every field and stamp and spell names to match the passport.
Every certified Afghan Persian translation is a complete, word-for-word rendering with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, prepared to meet USCIS requirements. It is done from a clear scan, so a client in Arlington gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

Afghan Persian Translators in Arlington
Prism Linguistics provides qualified Afghan Persian translators in Arlington and professional Afghan Persian interpreters for the USCIS offices, immigration courts, hospitals, attorneys and resettlement agencies serving Arlington's evacuee and SIV families, with certified Afghan Persian translation of the tazkira, nikah khat and degree records.
Arlington sits in Tarrant County, where felonies and larger civil matters are heard in the county's district courts and Class A and B misdemeanors in its ten county criminal courts, both sitting at the Tim Curry Justice Center in Fort Worth. Class C misdemeanors, traffic citations and city ordinance violations stay closer to home in the Arlington Municipal Court, which also handles civil parking matters. Attorneys often need a court interpreter at one level and a USCIS-compliant certified translation of records for the other.
Arlington ISD identifies the languages its families speak through a home language survey at enrollment, supports Spanish-speaking students with an articulated PK-6 bilingual program, and runs a Multilingual Welcome Center with bilingual English and Spanish staff and language line interpreting for other languages. Prism works from a single head office in New York and assigns a linguist based in or near Arlington for in-person jobs. Courts come to us specifically for rare languages other providers cannot supply.
Afghan Persian Interpreters in Arlington
Our Afghan Persian interpreters in Arlington are professional, experienced linguists who work in USCIS field offices, immigration and state courts and hospitals, and who speak the Dari of Afghanistan, not the Farsi of Iran, which a credibility interview or cross-examination calls for.
Afghan Persian means Afghan Dari, not Iranian Farsi. The two share a script and most formal vocabulary, and an Iranian interpreter can usually follow an Afghan Persian speaker; the gap opens in everyday words, pronunciation and the specific terms an SIV or asylum officer probes. Many Afghans also speak Pashto, so at intake we ask which language the person prefers and where in Afghanistan they are from, then assign an Afghan Persian interpreter rather than a generic Persian one. No state runs a court certification exam in Afghan Persian or Dari, so courts use a registered or otherwise qualified Afghan Persian interpreter; tell us the court and case type and we confirm what the judge expects. Hospitals that take federal funds must provide an Afghan Persian interpreter at no cost. At a USCIS interview the Afghan Persian interpreter has to be neutral; one who softens an answer harms the credibility finding it was meant to help.
For an in-person assignment in Arlington we assign an Afghan Persian interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day. We serve courts, attorneys, hospitals, USCIS applicants and private individuals; we are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor, and we say so up front.

About the Afghan Persian Language
Afghan Persian is more commonly called Dari, Afghanistan's second official language and the lingua franca of Afghan business, education, and media. Around 15 million people speak it as a first language. Translation work for Afghan Persian in the United States has surged since the 2021 Afghan withdrawal, dominated by USCIS asylum and special-immigrant-visa paperwork, civil documents (tazkira identity cards, marriage records), and the medical and education intake forms tied to recent refugee resettlement. Afghan Persian uses Perso-Arabic script, the same alphabet as Iranian Farsi but with distinctive Afghan vocabulary.

Afghan Persian Translation in Arlington: FAQs
Is Afghan Persian the same as Dari, and do you translate a tazkira written in it?
Yes on both counts. Afghan Persian is the name some forms and older references use for Dari, the Persian of Afghanistan. We translate the paper tazkira and the e-Tazkira in full, including stamps, marginal notes and handwritten entries, and render the name as the given name, father's name and grandfather's name shown on the document, spelled to match the passport, with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
Can you translate an Afghan Persian marriage certificate (nikah khat) for a spouse petition?
Yes. We translate the nikah khat completely, including the witnesses, the issuing court or embassy, the date of the ceremony and the date of issue where they differ, and any later attestation stamps, and we add a translator's note rather than guess at an illegible line. USCIS wants the full Afghan Persian document rendered, not a summary.
Do you have an office in Arlington?
No. Our only office is in New York. Afghan Persian translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Arlington we assign an Afghan Persian interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in the United States.
