Dari Translation Services — Dari ⇄ German.

Dari translation services deliver certified German ⇄ Dari documents in the right-to-left Perso-Arabic script, produced by sworn, court-authorised translators for authorities, courts and the asylum process here. That public appointment by a German Regional Court (Landgericht) is what carries the certification through BAMF, the Ausländerbehörde and registry offices in an asylum file. Solar Hijri dates are converted and names transliterated to match the passport. Standard-line pricing starts from €1.09.

Short & clear

Certified Dari translations by sworn, native-speaker translators.

Reviewed by specialists · FÜD editorial team · kept current

Dari is Afghan Persian, written right-to-left in the Perso-Arabic script, with its own officialese and a Solar Hijri calendar — not simply Iranian Farsi. Whether it is a Tazkira or birth certificate for a German authority, documents for the asylum or family-reunification process, a diploma for recognition, or a contract: the work is done by native Dari specialists with a proven field — reading the script correctly and transliterating names to the passport.

We work in both directions and both pairings. Dari ⇄ German is what German authorities, courts and the asylum process need — including certified translations and passport-matched transliteration of names. Dari ⇄ English covers international contexts: applications, employer paperwork, NGO and resettlement documentation that circulate in English.

Who it's for

Building a life in Germany, across languages and a difficult route.

Most people who search for this in English are already fluent Dari speakers dealing with a German system — often through the asylum or family-reunification process — or internationals who use English as the working language. Both are covered.

Dari → German, for authorities & asylum

Tazkira (تذکره), birth and marriage records, diplomas and court documents for the immigration office, the asylum procedure (BAMF), a registry office (Standesamt) or recognition of qualifications — as a certified German translation, names matched exactly to the passport.

Dari ⇄ English, for international life

Applications, employment contracts, references and NGO, embassy or resettlement documents that an employer, university or partner abroad expects in English rather than German. Same specialists, same care with the script and terminology.

German → Dari, for family & home

German certificates, decisions, powers of attorney and rulings that have to be presented to family or authorities connected to Afghanistan — in correct, natural Dari.

Family reunification

The family-reunification process generates civil-status and identity documents in both directions; we handle the set consistently, with names and dates aligned across every document.

Language & script

Right-to-left Perso-Arabic script, a Solar Hijri calendar, and Afghan — not Iranian — usage.

Dari is written right-to-left in a modified Perso-Arabic alphabet; letters change shape by position, short vowels are usually not written, and mixed Dari–Latin passages and numbers need careful bidirectional handling. Afghanistan uses the Solar Hijri (Jalali) calendar, so a date such as ۱۴۰۲ must be converted to the Gregorian year — a mechanical reading misstates it. Dari also uses Eastern Arabic numerals (۰ ۱ ۲ ۳).

Dari is a variety of Persian, closely related to Iranian Farsi and Tajik, but with its own official vocabulary and document conventions — it must not be silently rendered as Iranian Farsi. Because short vowels are unwritten and several transliteration systems exist, a name can be spelled many ways in Latin script, and only the passport spelling is accepted by a German authority. For official use an authorised translator issues a certified translation; whether legalisation is possible or needed is something we check in advance — it is issued by the competent authority, not by the translation agency.

Quality you only notice at the receiving end

What only a native Dari specialist catches.

Dari is not just “Afghan Farsi in Arabic letters” — the Afghan officialese, the Solar Hijri dates and the asylum-document context are its own, and they surface exactly where the decision is made. Each pitfall below is specific to Dari and demonstrable.

Typical pitfalls in Dari translation and how a specialist resolves them
PitfallWhy it goes wrongHow the FÜD solves it
Dari ≠ Iranian FarsiDari and Iranian Farsi share a core but differ in official vocabulary, terms and document conventions. Iranian usage in an Afghan document reads wrong to the authority.We translate in Afghan Dari usage, with the correct Afghan officialese, kept apart from Iranian Farsi.
Solar Hijri datesAfghan documents use the Solar Hijri calendar; a date read as if Gregorian is simply wrong — critical in asylum and civil-status files.Dates are converted carefully between the Solar Hijri and Gregorian calendars and cross-checked against the source.
Transliteration to the passportWith short vowels unwritten and several systems in use, a Dari name can be spelled several ways in Latin script; only the passport spelling is accepted.Names are transliterated to match the passport exactly, not respelled by a generic scheme.
The Tazkira & Afghan civil recordsThe Tazkira and other Afghan records have their own structure and fields; a generic rendering can misstate identity details that decide a case.The Tazkira and civil records are rendered with their correct fields and terminology, consistent across a document set.
Right-to-left / bidirectional breakageMixed Dari and Latin, numbers, dates and codes can reverse or reorder in non-RTL tools — a real error in official documents.Layout is set with correct bidirectional handling so Dari, Latin, numbers and codes all read in the right order.
Consistency across a document setAsylum and reunification cases involve many linked documents; names or dates that differ between them raise doubt.Names, dates and terms are kept consistent across the whole set, so the documents corroborate rather than contradict each other.

Why “Afghan Farsi” won’t do here

None of these is a spelling slip — the calendar, the transliteration and the Afghan-specific records only fail at the receiving end: the immigration office, the asylum decision, the court, where a mis-converted date or a name spelled the wrong way undermines the file. That is exactly where native professional translation earns its place.

The difference shows not in the text, but at the receiving end.

So: native speakers with a field, correct Afghan usage, converted dates, and passport-matched transliteration.

Certification & recognition

“certified translation”, “authorised”, and legalisation — what counts where.

Reviewed by specialists · FÜD editorial team · kept current

For submission to German authorities, courts and the asylum procedure, a court-authorised translator (in German, ermächtigter Übersetzer, publicly authorised under German state law) produces a certified translation with stamp, signature and certification note — recognised nationwide. This is the form German authorities and the BAMF rely on.

Legalisation of Afghan documents is a special case: Afghanistan is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so an apostille is generally not available and documents may instead require consular or other legalisation, with authenticity assessed by the German authority. We clarify the realistic route in advance and produce the certified German translation — following FÜD's documented quality process; where the service is delivered under DIN EN ISO 17100, the required second-person revision is included. Any legalisation is issued by the competent authority — the FÜD does not issue apostilles.

Use cases

Dari to German translation: three typical cases from practice.

Afghan usage, calendar and transliteration decide the wording and form of certification. Three common jobs — from the starting point to the result.

Asylum & family

Tazkira & civil records Dari → German

Starting point
For the asylum or family-reunification process, a Tazkira (تذکره) and civil records are needed in German — issued in Dari, with Solar Hijri dates.
Process
An authorised translator renders the documents in Afghan usage, converts the dates, transliterates names to the passport, and keeps every document consistent; the certification note makes them ready for the authority.
Result
A consistent set of certified translations the authority can rely on, with names and dates aligned across every document.

Careers in English

Diploma & CV Dari → English

Starting point
A professional from Afghanistan applies to an international employer, NGO or programme that works in English, and needs a diploma, references and CV rendered accurately.
Process
Degrees, subjects and titles stay in the original with an explanatory equivalent; names are transliterated correctly; terminology is handled by a specialist in the field.
Result
Documents an English-speaking employer or organisation can place correctly — without misrepresenting an Afghan qualification.

Law & administration

Court & authority documents German → Dari

Starting point
A German decision, ruling or power of attorney must be presented to a party or family connected to Afghanistan, precisely and readably in Dari.
Process
Legal terms stay demonstrable, right-to-left layout is set correctly, Afghan usage is kept; a specialist checks the terminology.
Result
A document that is legally readable in Dari without replacing German legal institutions with foreign ones.

FAQ

Dari translation – frequently asked questions.

Do you translate both Dari to German and Dari to English?

Yes. Dari ⇄ German is the usual pairing for German authorities, courts and the asylum process; Dari ⇄ English covers international contexts – applications, NGO and resettlement documents exchanged in English. A native-speaker specialist is assigned to each direction.

Is Dari the same as Iranian Farsi?

No. Dari is Afghan Persian: closely related to Iranian Farsi and Tajik, but with its own official vocabulary and document conventions. We translate in Afghan Dari usage and keep it apart from Iranian Farsi.

Do you handle Tazkira and asylum documents, and the Solar Hijri calendar?

Yes. We render the Tazkira and civil records with their correct fields, convert Solar Hijri dates to the Gregorian calendar, and keep names and dates consistent across a whole document set for the asylum or family-reunification process.

Can you provide a certified Dari translation recognised in Germany?

Yes. For certificates, identity and official documents an authorised translator (ermächtigter Übersetzer, authorised by a German court under state law) issues a certified translation with a certification note, recognised by German authorities, courts and the BAMF nationwide.

Is there an apostille for Afghan documents?

Generally not. Afghanistan is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so an apostille is usually not available; documents may require consular or other legalisation, with authenticity assessed by the German authority. We clarify the realistic route in advance. Any legalisation is issued by the competent authority, not by the FÜD.

What does a Dari translation cost?

The price depends on volume, field, direction and deadline. After a brief review we name a binding fixed price; standard certificates are usually a flat fee per document, from € 1.09 per standard line.
My Tazkira and my children’s records finally matched each other — the same name spelling, the dates converted correctly. The authority accepted the certified translations without the queries we had faced before.

Work with us

Already a native Dari speaker? Become an authorised translator.

Our Dari translations are produced by native-speaker specialists — the reason German authorities, universities and courts accept them without queries. Beyond the language itself, that rests on German at C2 level, a specialist field the translator can defend, and — for certified work — court authorisation. If you bring that combination rather than bilingualism alone, we work with Dari translators employed and freelance, and the way in is also open through an internship.

The path

German to C2, plus a field

Native Dari is your starting capital; the market rewards what you build on top. German at C2 — the level at which you read a German ruling or an asylum decision without hesitation — is the real gate, because certified work means rendering official German with precision. Add a field you can defend (law, medicine, technology, administration) and its terminology. That combination, not language alone, is what an immigration office or a court relies on.

Why it holds up

Authorisation, and the expertise behind it

For certified translations you apply to the competent Regional Court (Landgericht) to be authorised under state law. And Dari is exacting, specialist work: a right-to-left script with unwritten vowels, a different calendar, Afghan-specific records, and names that must be passport-exact the first time. In asylum work especially, careful human translation is what the decision relies on.
