Mirpuri interpreting services
Choose the kind of interpreting that suits the appointment. Most interpreting is consecutive: the interpreter speaks after each person has finished, which suits a GP consultation, a meeting with a solicitor or a police interview. Conferences and some hearings use simultaneous interpreting instead.
Face-to-face interpreting
The interpreter comes to you: a hospital ward, a courtroom, a council office, a home visit or a business meeting. It is the best choice when people need to read expressions as well as words, or when the conversation is long or sensitive.
Telephone interpreting
The quickest option to set up. It works well for short calls, triage, appointment reminders and quick checks with a client.
Video interpreting
A Mirpuri interpreter joins by video for remote hearings, consultations and meetings, which helps when there is no interpreter near you.
We also provide medical interpreting and conference interpreting.
Certified Mirpuri translation
Our Mirpuri translators work on documents in both directions. Each translates into their native language, so English to Mirpuri work goes to a native Mirpuri speaker and Mirpuri to English work goes to a native English speaker.
- Certified translation of birth, marriage and death certificates, passports, driving licences, degree certificates and bank statements, for the Home Office, courts, universities and employers.
- Legal translation: witness statements, court bundles, contracts and immigration papers.
- Document translation of medical reports, letters, leaflets and patient information.
- Urgent translation when a deadline is close.
- Transcription of Mirpuri audio and video recordings, with an English translation if you need one.
English to Mirpuri translation
Send us the document, tell us who will read it and when you need it back, and we will quote. For a certified translation we need a clear scan or photo of every page, including any stamps and handwritten notes, which need translating too.
Mirpuri court and police interpreters
Legal settings need an interpreter who knows the procedure as well as the language: hearings in the Crown Court and magistrates' courts, the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber), police interviews under caution, and conferences with solicitors and barristers. For these bookings we look for Mirpuri interpreters with legal experience and, where interpreters holding them exist for the language, the Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (Law) or registration with the National Register of Public Service Interpreters (NRPSI).
How to book a Mirpuri interpreter

About the Mirpuri language
Mirpuri is the form of Pahari-Pothwari, an Indo-Aryan language, spoken in Mirpur district in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
It is mainly spoken rather than written, and its speakers usually write in Urdu.
At the 2021 Census, 22,798 usual residents of England and Wales aged three or over gave Pakistani Pahari (a census category that includes Mirpuri and Potwari) as their main language. The local authorities with the most were Birmingham (9,446 people), Bradford (1,429) and Rochdale (1,384). Source: Office for National Statistics.
Before you book: Many British Pakistani families, especially in Bradford, Birmingham and Luton, have roots in Mirpur. Letters and forms usually go into Urdu, with a Mirpuri interpreter for conversations, particularly with older relatives.

Mirpuri interpreter and translator FAQs
How quickly can I book a Mirpuri interpreter?
We take bookings 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Telephone and video interpreting are usually the quickest to arrange. For a face-to-face appointment, give us as much notice as you can: same-day cover is often possible, but it depends on where you are and how many Mirpuri interpreters work nearby.
How much does a Mirpuri interpreter cost?
The price depends on the type of interpreting (face-to-face, telephone or video), how long the appointment lasts, where it is and how much notice you give. We quote before anything is booked, and quotes are free: call 0800 2425 125 or use our online quote form.
Can you certify Mirpuri translations for a UK visa or immigration application?
Yes. We translate and certify documents such as birth and marriage certificates, passports and police certificates for visa, settlement and citizenship applications. UK Visas and Immigration asks for each translation to confirm that it is accurate and to show the date and the translator's full name, signature and contact details, so tell us when you order that the document is for an immigration application.
Do you provide Mirpuri interpreters for courts, tribunals and police interviews?
Yes. Tell us the setting when you book, for example a Crown Court trial, an immigration tribunal hearing or a police interview under caution, so we can match a Mirpuri interpreter with the right legal experience and qualifications.
How many people speak Mirpuri in the UK?
At the 2021 Census, 22,798 usual residents of England and Wales aged three or over gave Pakistani Pahari (a census category that includes Mirpuri and Potwari) as their main language. The local authorities with the most were Birmingham (9,446 people), Bradford (1,429) and Rochdale (1,384). The census asked for each person's main language, so people who speak Mirpuri at home but gave English as their main language are not in that figure. Scotland and Northern Ireland count languages in their own censuses.
