A decision of the cantonal ministry of interior
In the Federation, a change of personal name, or of the first name or surname alone, is decided under the Law on Personal Name by the cantonal ministry of interior for the applicant's residence. The result is a decision on change of personal name (rješenje o promjeni ličnog imena). Anyone may apply on personal request, and a name may also change after a change in family status, such as adoption, recognition of paternity, marriage, divorce or the death of a spouse.
The application includes the applicant's birth extract and citizenship certificate. It can be filed through a proxy, who must attach the applicant's certified statement of the name to be used. A change is refused to someone facing criminal proceedings, serving a sentence or wanted internationally. An appeal goes to the Federal Ministry of Interior within 15 days. See our Bosnian page.
After the decision
Once final, the decision is sent to the registrar who keeps the person's records, and the new name is entered in the registers; a recent birth extract then shows it as a note. The person must apply for a new identity card, passport and driver's license within 15 days of that entry, or the ministry annuls the decision. No new change may be requested for five years.
For US purposes, the decision and the updated birth extract together show the old and new names. We translate both exactly and keep each name in its own spelling. This page describes the Federation's law; decisions from Republika Srpska or Brčko District are issued by their own authorities and translated the same way. See also the Serbian name change 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
I changed my surname when I married.
That is recorded through the marriage, not a separate decision. The marriage extract shows it.
The decision has a finality stamp.
We translate it; it shows when the decision took effect.
Do I need my new birth extract too?
It shows the change as a note and often helps. Translate both if unsure.
