libyan passport tranlsation
I'm traveling to Libya in december and I have to translate my passport into Arabic. Does anyone know how is with the translation - does it have to be a certified translation or it can be translated by anyone who know arabic.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Tom,
When I was speaking to a guide (Alarbi of Sahara Stars) he insisted that the Arabic translation should be provided by a certified person. In London you can get it from the Arab - British Chamber of Commerce, who also affix their own stamp on the translation page.

Roman I guess you are right - I also checked sahara-overland site and it looks like there must be a special stamp in your passport which is actually a form for translation.
So I guess I will have to get a certified translation...
Tnx,
Tom

I have an Arabic translation in my passport - I'm off to Libya next week. I got a template stamped in my passport at my local passport office and then it was filled in by an arabic speaking person from a mosque. So there are two actual processes - get a template stamped in your passport and then get an official to complete the details in Arabic.
I'm not sure how the Slovenian passport authorities deal with this but you could ask them about a stamp in your passport.

Strim is correct, two processes: get a stamp and then get it filled out by someone who can read and write Arabic.
I cant see how anyone could tell an overpriced 'certified translation' from 'a guy at the mosque'.
