Recognition before an official

Under the Federation's Family Law, where paternity does not follow from marriage it is established by recognition or by a court decision. A father may recognise a child before the registrar, the guardianship authority (the centre for social work), a court or a notary, or in a will. He may even do so before the child is born, with effect if the child is born alive. Recognition is irrevocable, and a minor of 16 or over may make it if able to understand it.

A record of the recognition is sent to the registrar who keeps the child's birth record. For it to be entered, the mother must consent, and a child of 14 or over who understands it must agree too; if the mother cannot consent, the guardianship authority decides. If consent does not come in time, the man may ask a court to establish paternity. See our Bosnian page.

What you will have on paper

Depending on where it was made, the recognition is a registrar's or notary's record, a will or a court decision, and the result appears on the child's birth extract as the father's details and a note. For a US petition based on a parent-child relationship, the birth extract together with the recognition record usually tells the story. We translate each document in full, stamps included.

Under the Federation's Law on Personal Name, a child's name may be changed after recognition, up to age 18 and within six months of the recognition or of a court decision on paternity, so the extract may show a later name. We translate the earlier and later names exactly as recorded. Where a court case involved a DNA test, the expert's report is a separate document; see the Bosnian expert report page and the Serbian paternity acknowledgment 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.
