How Much Does Certified Translation Cost? A Complete Price Guide in Riyadh Saudi Arabia

One of the most common questions we receive is: “How much does certified translation cost?” The answer depends on several factors, including the language pair, document complexity, turnaround time, and whether you need additional services like notarization.

At Rwaaq Al Marifaa, we believe in complete transparency. Unlike other translation agencies that hide fees or charge per word, we use a simple per-page pricing model. This means you know the exact cost before you order – no surprises, no hidden charges.

Our Standard Certified Translation Rates

What Counts as One Page?

We define a “page” as a standard A4 or letter-sized document with up to 300 words in the source language. If your document has more than 300 words per page, we count it as 1.5 or 2 pages accordingly.

Examples:

• A 250-word birth certificate = 1 page (50 SAR for Arabic, 80 SAR for other languages)

• A 500-word employment contract = 2 pages (100 SAR for Arabic, 160 SAR for other languages)

• A 150-word police clearance certificate = 1 page

Additional Services and Their Costs

Why Per-Page Pricing Is Better Than Per-Word Pricing

Many online translation services charge per word, which can become expensive quickly. For example:

• A 500-word document at $0.10 per word = $50 (approx. 187 SAR)

• The same document at Rwaaq Al Marifaa = 2 pages x 50 SAR = 100 SAR (for Arabic)

You save nearly 50% with our per-page model.

• Urgency fees hidden in fine print

• Stamp fees (charging extra for the certification stamp)
