Bengali to English translation

The kabinnama

A Muslim marriage in Bangladesh is registered by a Nikah Registrar, licensed by the government under the 1974 Registration Act, on the kabinnama form. It records the couple, their guardians, the witnesses and the dower (den mohor), mostly by hand. Every column is translated, handwriting and the registrar’s seal included.

Birth records in two scripts

Bangladesh’s online birth registration takes names and places in both Bangla and English, so a newer certificate may already give you the English you need. Check yours, and see documents already in English, before you pay for a translation.

Bengali digits and names

Bengali numerals are written as Western digits, so a registration number or a date reads the same in both versions. Names are romanised to match your passport, whichever way the certificate itself spells them. Two of your papers spell a name differently? See which spelling goes on the translation. A form from West Bengal with English headings needs only its Bengali entries translated, and we translate the page as a whole.
