Academic Document Services in Kathmandu

Yes. The Australian Department of Home Affairs requires Nepali academic documents to be accompanied by a certified English translation prepared by a qualified translator. The translation must include a signed translator's declaration confirming accuracy and completeness — this is a specific requirement of the Australian immigration system. The document package (original Nepali certificate + certified English translation) is then notarised by a registered Notary Public in Nepal. Hamro Notary provides the certified translation and notarisation together in a single visit, with the exact format accepted by the Australian High Commission in New Delhi and immigration authorities in Canberra.

Canada (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada — IRCC) generally does not require a MoFA apostille for standard PR and work permit applications — a certified translation and notarisation by a registered Notary Public is typically sufficient. However, some educational credential assessment bodies (WES, ICES, CES) have their own submission requirements, and professional licensing bodies in Canadian provinces may require additional authentication. We recommend confirming the specific requirements of the Canadian body requesting your documents and contacting us so we can prepare the correct package. We have assisted hundreds of Nepali nationals through the Canadian PR and work permit process.

Yes. Older SLC certificates issued entirely in Nepali script can be translated by our qualified translators regardless of age. We have experience translating old-format Nepali academic certificates from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s — including handwritten certificates and those with non-standard layouts. If the document is damaged, faded, or has missing information, we translate exactly what is legible and note any sections that are illegible. The certified translation is then notarised with our official seal. If the issuing school or board no longer exists, we include a translator's note explaining this to the receiving institution.

Yes. For the German Skilled Worker (Fachkräfte) visa and the German Job Seeker visa, Nepali academic transcripts and degree certificates must be submitted in certified German or English translation. Hamro Notary provides certified English translation of Nepali academic documents for German visa applications in the exact format required by the German Embassy in Kathmandu and by German credential recognition authorities (anabin, ZAB). We have successfully prepared academic document packages for dozens of Nepali professionals applying for German work visas. The translation is certified and notarised in one visit.

Yes. For employment in the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain, degree certificates and academic transcripts require a specific authentication chain: notarisation in Nepal → Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) attestation at Singhdurbar → authentication by the relevant Gulf-country embassy in Kathmandu. For UAE employment specifically, documents may additionally require attestation by the Nepal Chamber of Commerce for certain document types. Hamro Notary manages the complete attestation chain for Gulf employment documents, keeping you updated by WhatsApp at every stage. Gulf attestation is one of our most requested services and we have a streamlined process for it.
