Dhivehi translator

Yes. Ecrivus is a Dhivehi translation agency that provides both standard and certified translation. For certificates and official documents that a body such as the Home Office, UKVI, a court or a university must accept, we provide certified translation: a signed statement of accuracy from the translator or the agency. Where a body asks for more, this can be escalated to notarisation by a solicitor or notary public, or to an apostille or legalisation through the FCDO. We confirm per document type which level your receiving authority requires.

Yes. The Thaana script runs right to left and uses obligatory diacritic vowel marks. We handle Dhivehi with Unicode-aware tooling and Thaana-capable fonts, so the bidirectional layout and the vowel marks render correctly in your translation rather than shifting out of place.

By default we work in the Malé dialect, the basis of the written and official language. The southern atoll dialects of Addu and Huvadhu diverge sharply; if your source document is in one of those varieties, we confirm that with you up front so terminology and comprehension are correct.

Commonly requested documents are birth and marriage certificates, diplomas and transcripts, immigration and residence documents and cultural-historical texts. UK-specific cases we handle often are Home Office and UKVI immigration documents and university admissions assessed by UK ENIC. We confirm the approach, any certification and the legalisation route per document in the quote.

The UK has no sworn-translator institute, so there is no "sworn translator" as a legal office here. For official acceptance we provide certified translation: a signed and dated statement of accuracy with our contact details. Where a body asks for more, this can be escalated to notarisation by a solicitor or notary public, or to an apostille or legalisation through the FCDO. You can check the legalisation route on GOV.UK at gov.uk/get-document-legalised, and we confirm in the quote which level your authority requires.

On working days you receive a reply within 1 hour. The lead time for the translation itself depends on document type, volume, language pair and any required certification, and is confirmed in the quote. For tight deadlines we confirm a workable rush schedule up front rather than promising a fixed turnaround.

A Dhivehi translation agency takes the coordination off your hands. We select a translator who commands the Thaana script and the right dialect, arrange certification, notarisation or legalisation where an authority requires it, and keep the transliteration of names consistent. You keep one point of contact for script, terminology, scheduling and delivery — steps you would otherwise have to manage separately for a language with limited tooling. A skilled freelance translator does excellent work too; the difference an agency adds is bringing those moving parts together.
