Maryam Abdi

Sworn Farsi and Dari Interpreter and Translator

Professional interpreting and translation for legal, notarial and international settings.

Whether you need an interpreter for a court hearing, the execution of a notarial deed or a conference, or a translation of an official document, I provide clear and accurate communication. I am a sworn interpreter and translator for Farsi and Dari in the Netherlands and Belgium. I also undertake interpreting assignments in English.

With a legal background and experience in areas including immigration and criminal law, I support courts, notaries, lawyers, organisations and individuals. I work in the Netherlands and Belgium and, depending on the assignment, internationally.

Interpreting

Legal interpreting

I provide interpreting for legal conversations and proceedings, including assignments for courts, lawyers and public authorities. My legal background helps me work carefully with specialist terminology and context. I have experience with assignments related to immigration and criminal law.

Notarial interpreting

I interpret at notary appointments, including when a notarial deed is executed. I help ensure that everyone involved can follow the discussion and understand its content.

I interpret in Farsi, Dari, Dutch and English. My sworn status and registration cover Farsi and Dari; I undertake English interpreting assignments without being sworn for English.

Translations
