The Ministry of Justice and Yarmouk University signed a memorandum of understanding today, Wednesday, aiming to accredit the Queen Rania Center for Jordanian Studies and Community Service at the university, to prepare, train, and implement assessment translation exams for certified translators before a notary public, who meet the criteria and conditions specified in the Instructions for the Accreditation of Translators with Notaries for the year 2026.
The memorandum was signed on behalf of the Minister of Justice by the Undersecretary for Administrative and Financial Affairs, Khulood Al-Abadi, and on behalf of the university by its President, Dr. Malek Al-Sharairi.
Al-Abadi emphasized the importance of the partnership in unifying institutional efforts and benefiting from specialized academic expertise, thereby enhancing the quality of evaluation outcomes and supporting the Ministry's directions in developing services and procedures related to translation work, based on clear professional foundations.
She said that the memorandum comes within the framework of the Ministry's keenness to develop mechanisms for evaluating linguistic and translation skills and competencies, and to strengthen cooperation with national academic institutions with expertise and specialization, thereby ensuring the application of professional and methodological standards in preparing and implementing assessment translation exams.
For his part, Al-Sharairi affirmed that Yarmouk University, while celebrating its golden jubilee, recognizes the importance of strengthening partnerships with state institutions and utilizing the expertise of its scientific, humanitarian, and health faculties and specialized research centers in serving national institutions.
He pointed out that the accreditation of the Queen Rania Center for Jordanian Studies and Community Service for preparing and implementing assessment translation exams for certified translators before a notary public represents an extension of the university's role in providing expertise and competencies that meet the needs of the labor market and national institutions.
According to the memorandum, the center will conduct a passing exam for applicants who have obtained a university degree in translation, or in a related language field other than Arabic, according to agreed-upon criteria and standards between the two parties.
The center will also examine applicants wishing to obtain the title of certified translator before a notary public in the field of written or simultaneous translation, or both.
The memorandum reflects the keenness of both parties to enhance integration between the government sector and academic institutions, and to develop evaluation and accreditation tools, thereby contributing to raising the level of professional practice in the field of translation and supporting the requirements of administrative and institutional modernization in the Kingdom.
