Amharic interpreters & translators.

Rehoboth provides qualified Amharic interpreters and certified Amharic translators for hospitals, law firms, courts, immigration matters and government agencies — by phone, by video and in person. Our Amharic linguists are experienced with Ethiopian naming conventions, the Ethiopian calendar and official documents.

Amharic expertise

More than words — real understanding.

01

Ethiopian calendar conversion

Ethiopian documents use the Ethiopian (Ge’ez) calendar, which runs roughly seven to eight years behind the Gregorian calendar and has thirteen months. Our certified translations render dates exactly as written and provide the Gregorian equivalent, preventing costly errors on USCIS, court and school records.

02

Ethiopian naming conventions

Ethiopians traditionally use a given name followed by the father’s and grandfather’s names rather than a family surname. We transliterate names consistently and match the spelling on passports, avoiding mismatches between documents.

03

Medical & legal terminology

Amharic medical and legal vocabulary often requires careful explanation rather than one-word equivalents. Our interpreters are trained to preserve exact meaning in consent discussions, depositions and hearings.

04

Ge’ez script typesetting

We deliver Amharic translations in correctly rendered Ge’ez (Fidel) script with professional fonts and layout.

FAQ

Amharic interpreting questions

How quickly can I get a Amharic interpreter?

Account holders can reach a Amharic interpreter by phone or video on demand, 24/7/365. On-site Amharic interpreters can be scheduled online; we recommend 48–72 hours' notice, and accept urgent same-day requests whenever an interpreter is available.

Do you provide certified Amharic translation for USCIS?

Yes. Our certified Amharic to English translations include a signed statement of accuracy and translator competence, formatted to mirror the original document, as USCIS requires.

Can you convert Ethiopian calendar dates on birth and marriage certificates?

Yes. Our certified translations show the date as written in the Ethiopian calendar and include the Gregorian equivalent, which is essential for immigration, school enrollment and court filings.

Do you provide Amharic interpreters for court and immigration hearings?

Yes. We provide qualified Amharic interpreters for depositions, attorney–client meetings, court hearings and immigration interviews, and prioritize court-credentialed interpreters where a state roster exists.

Can a family member interpret for an Amharic-speaking patient?

Federal rules under Section 1557 generally discourage relying on family members, especially children. A professional Amharic medical interpreter protects the patient and the provider — and is provided at no cost to the patient.
