Certified Hausa translation for US filings.
Hausa is the most widely spoken language in West Africa and a lingua franca across northern Nigeria, southern Niger, and neighboring regions. Verdacert translates Hausa-language civil status records, sharia court documents from northern Nigerian states, and academic and identity documents for asylum, family-based immigration, and educational filings.

What our reviewers know about your documents
Modern Hausa is written in a Latin-based alphabet called Boko, with diacritics for hooked letters (ɓ, ɗ, ƙ). Older religious, scholarly, and northern Nigerian sharia court documents may appear in the Arabic-based Ajami script - Verdacert handles both. Nigerian civil documents are frequently bilingual (Hausa + English), and the certified translation reconciles both versions where they differ.
Common source countries: Nigeria, Niger, Ghana, Cameroon.
