Only a court can end a marriage
In Bosnia and Herzegovina a divorce is a court judgment (presuda o razvodu braka), and the State Department notes that only divorces obtained through the civil courts are legal. Under the Federation's Family Law, a spouse may sue for divorce when marital relations are seriously and permanently disturbed, or both may file a request for an agreed divorce (sporazumni razvod braka). The court grants an agreed divorce only if at least six months have passed since the wedding.
Spouses with children under their parental care, and couples during a pregnancy, must first go through mediation (posredovanje); a divorce filed before mediation ends is rejected, and proxies cannot represent the spouses in it. An agreed divorce rests on an agreement reached there on parental care, child support and contact. The judgment you receive therefore often settles custody and support as well, and every part of it is translated. See our Bosnian page.
Finality, the register and surnames
A marriage ends when the divorce judgment becomes final (pravomoćna), so the copy you send should show the finality clause or stamp; we translate it exactly. The court must send the final judgment to the registrar within 15 days, and the divorce is entered in the register of marriages and passed on to the register of births. A recent birth extract or marriage extract therefore shows the divorce as a note.
Each former spouse may keep the surname held at the time of the divorce, or declare a return to the premarital surname within six months. Republika Srpska has its own Family Law, so a judgment from its basic courts may follow different rules; we translate exactly what the court wrote. USCIS does not require an apostille; an office that does will want one from a first-instance court. See also the Serbian divorce decree 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
The judgment has a stamp saying it is final.
That is the finality clause. It shows when the divorce took effect, and we translate it.
We divorced by agreement.
That is still a court judgment, granted on a joint request. We translate it in full, including the agreement on the children.
Do I also need the marriage extract?
Some offices ask for it because the divorce is noted there. If unsure, translate both.
