Issued for a stated purpose
Chilean certificates from the Registro Civil are issued for a stated purpose — para matrimonio, para asignación familiar, para todo trámite and others — and that purpose is printed on the document. Ordering the wrong one is a routine reason for a refusal that has nothing to do with the translation. Ask the office which it wants before ordering, and if in doubt the all-purpose copy is the safer buy.
See our Chilean birth certificate page.
Divorce, annulment, and the subinscription
Chile had no divorce at all until Ley 19.947 came into force in 2004, so older Chilean files contain annulments where a US reader expects a divorce — and an annulment says the marriage never validly existed, which is not the same claim. The translation keeps the distinction rather than flattening both into "divorce".
A judgment also does nothing until it is subinscribed in the margin of the marriage entry. Until then the spouses are not divorced as far as the register is concerned, and a certificate will show the marriage in force. Order a current copy after the subinscription, not before.
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 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 the same $24.95 per page of up to 250 words.
Frequently asked questions
Which certificate should I order?
The one the office asks for, because Chilean certificates state their purpose on the face. If nobody has told you, the all-purpose copy (para todo trámite) is the safer choice.
My file has an annulment, not a divorce.
Ordinary for marriages that ended before 2004. We translate it as an annulment, because it makes a different legal claim and flattening it into "divorce" would misstate the document.
My divorce is final but the certificate still shows the marriage.
Then the judgment has probably not been subinscribed in the margin of the marriage entry yet. Until it is, the register shows the marriage in force.
