If a licensee wishes to retain certain records in a language other than English or Arabic without translation, the licensee should write to the BMA, explaining which types of records it wishes to keep in a foreign language, and why systematically translating these may be unreasonable. Generally, only loan contracts or similar original transaction documents may be kept without translation. Where exemptions are granted by the BMA, the licensee is nonetheless asked to confirm that it will make available certified translations of such documents, if requested by the BMA for an inspection or other supervisory purpose.
