The document nobody wants to need
When someone dies abroad, an autopsy or forensic report is often what the paperwork afterwards turns on: repatriation of the body, a life insurance claim, an estate, a pension or survivor benefit, and sometimes litigation. The report is technical, it is written for a coroner or a prosecutor rather than for a family, and it is in a language the people who need it may not read.
It arrives as an informe de autopsia, a laudo cadavérico, a rapport d'autopsie, an Obduktionsbericht, usually alongside a death certificate and a police or judicial report.
Cause of death is translated, not interpreted
Cause and manner of death are stated in the terms the pathologist used, including the Latin, and classifications are reproduced as the report assigns them. Where a legal category has no American counterpart — some systems distinguish manners of death that US jurisdictions do not — the original term is kept and explained rather than mapped onto the nearest US label, because that mapping can change the outcome of an insurance claim.
Measurements, toxicology values and their units are reproduced exactly. Nothing is converted, summarised or softened, and anything illegible on the original is marked as illegible.
Handled as the document it is
These reports are graphic, and the families who order them are usually in the worst week of their lives. They are translated in full, by a professional human translator, and handled confidentially. If you need it fast for a repatriation, say so — same-day delivery is available.
Certified, with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, which is what insurers, courts and consulates ask for.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where a page is up to 250 words.
A standard translation is for business or personal use where certification is not needed, such as CVs, client intake forms or marketing material, and is billed at $0.10 per word.
Frequently asked questions
Can you translate an autopsy report urgently for a repatriation?
Yes. Tell us the deadline when you order; same-day delivery is available.
Will the cause of death be translated into US terminology?
No. It is rendered in the terms the pathologist used, with explanation where a legal category has no US counterpart. Reclassifying it would be a substantive judgement, not a translation.
Do you also translate the death certificate and police report?
Yes, and they should be sent together so names, dates and file numbers match across the set.
