From the doctor's confirmation to the register
A death is entered in the register of deaths on the basis of a confirmation of death (potvrda o smrti) issued by a doctor or another health worker authorised to establish death, and a burial may take place only once it has been issued. The registrar for the place of death then issues an extract from the register of deaths (izvod iz matične knjige umrlih). The State Department notes that next of kin request it in person or through someone holding a power of attorney.
In the Federation, a death is registered where it occurred even when the burial is abroad or in the other entity. The registrar also enters the death in the person's birth register and notifies the cantonal ministry that issued the identity card. In the US the extract usually proves that a prior marriage ended, or supports an estate or insurance claim. See our Bosnian page.
People missing since the war, and older records
Federation law has a special rule for people recorded as missing between 30 April 1991 and 14 February 1996: they are entered in the register of deaths under the state Law on Missing Persons. Where a court has declared a missing spouse dead, the marriage ends on the day the final decision names as the date of death. Families may hold such a decision as well as, or instead of, a death extract, and we translate both in full.
Deaths registered before April 1992 appear on Yugoslav forms, and Federation law treats extracts for those entries issued by the authorities or consulates of the former Yugoslav republics as public documents. Names on old and new forms may differ in script or spelling; we translate each as printed. USCIS does not require an apostille. See also the Serbian death certificate page.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
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 one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
My father was declared dead by a court.
The court decision is the proof, and the registers follow it. We translate the decision and any extract.
Who can order the extract in Bosnia?
Next of kin, in person or through a proxy with a power of attorney, according to the State Department.
The doctor's confirmation and the extract look different.
They are different documents. We translate each exactly and do not reconcile them.
