Certified Wolof translation for US filings.
Wolof is the most widely spoken language of Senegal and a major language of The Gambia. Senegalese civil records are issued in French and Gambian records in English, so Verdacert translates Wolof-language statements, letters, customary marriage attestations, and Arabic-script (Wolofal) documents together with the civil records they accompany, for asylum, family-based, and court filings.

What our reviewers know about your documents
Wolof has an official Latin orthography with letters such as à, é, ë, ó, ñ, and ŋ, and is also written in Wolofal, an Arabic-based script used in religious and older texts. Senegalese births, marriages, and deaths are recorded in French by the centre d'état civil, and late registrations rest on a court decision; Verdacert translates the French and Wolof parts of a packet into a single certified English translation. Dates use the day-month-year order.
Common source countries: Senegal, The Gambia, Mauritania.
