The matični ured, and the OIB
Croatian births are registered by the matični ured, the registry office, which issues an extract from the register of births (izvadak iz matice rođenih). Modern records carry the OIB, the personal identification number, reproduced exactly.
Certificates issued in the former Yugoslavia remain valid and older ones carry the JMBG instead. Both are ordinary — see our Croatian page.
Diacritics, and citizenship by descent
Croatian uses č, ć, đ, š and ž, and stripping them changes names — Ćosić and Cosic look like different families to a US reader and are one. We reproduce the Croatian spelling and note a genuine difference from a passport.
Croatian records are frequently ordered for citizenship by descent, where a chain of documents has to match name for name across three generations. A spelling silently standardised at any link breaks the chain, which is why we note variations rather than resolving them.
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.

We reproduce the Croatian spelling and note the difference, which matters most in a citizenship-by-descent chain where every link has to match.
