It depends on the country...

For filipino wife,

Get your marriage contract apostilled in DFA(department of foreign affairs, translate it in Arabic and then Go to the marriage court here in Bahrain...

Translated in Arabic by official translator then translation notarized by notary public. You can just pay the translator to complete this whole step. Then afterward, court.

Can i go to court by myself? Cuz there is one translation company who is saying that you cannot go, they will not allow you. Only an authorized company is eligible to do so.

Is that true?

And can you explain about notarization?

Court you need lawyer. Notarization, let's translators handle - I already told you.
