Legal documents (contracts, court judgments, official certificates) submitted to Saudi government bodies or banks need precise certified translation, not just linguistically sound translation. The difference between a precise legal term and its general synonym can change the document's actual legal meaning, exposing it to rejection or even a different interpretation from its original intent.

Many transactions (registering a foreign commercial agency, enforcing a foreign judgment, international banking transactions) require certified translation from a licensed office, not just any ordinary translation. Submitting an uncertified translation, or a certified one that's legally imprecise, delays the entire transaction and needs restarting the procedure from scratch.
A translator fluent in both languages but lacking legal understanding may translate a term with a linguistically correct synonym that's legally imprecise (such as the difference between "rescission," "annulment," and "termination" in Arabic legal context: fundamentally different concepts despite their close general linguistic meaning).
