Other Certificates
Nikah, Khulu’ and Faskh (Annulment) certificates may be issued as part of their respective processes. Availability and fees are confirmed for the individual route.
Religious certificates do not themselves confer or change UK civil status. Any civil registration, divorce, legalisation or other formal requirement must be considered separately.
Optional Arabic translation — £30 per certificate. Where ISCN issues a religious certificate through this route, you may request an Arabic translation for an additional £30 for each certificate. This is a translation of the religious certificate. It is not a UK certified translation and does not create civil status, official recognition or guaranteed acceptance.
