Registered, not decreed — and a 30-day wait
An uncontested Chinese divorce is registered at the marriage registration authority rather than decided by a court, and since 1 January 2021 Article 1077 of the Civil Code imposes a 30-day cooling-off period: either spouse may withdraw the application within thirty days of it being received.
What is issued is a divorce certificate (离婚证), not a decree. A contested divorce goes to court and produces a judgment or a mediation statement, which is a different document. We translate any of them and name each accurately.
The notarial certificate, and its built-in English
For use abroad a notarial divorce certificate (离婚公证书) is issued by a notary public office, reproducing the underlying document and attesting the divorce. These booklets are bilingual — and the notary office's translator certification does not state the translator's competence in both languages and is not signed, which is what the USCIS standard requires. Filing it with a proper certification is the ordinary fix.
Mainland documents are in simplified characters and those from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan in traditional. See our Chinese marriage 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 document says certificate, not decree.
An uncontested Chinese divorce is registered rather than decided, so a certificate is what is issued. We translate it accurately rather than calling it a decree.
My notarial booklet already has English.
The notary office's certification does not state translator competence and is not signed, which is what USCIS asks for. Filing it with a proper certification is the usual fix.
We divorced in court.
Then you have a judgment or a mediation statement, which is a different document. We translate that.
