Why death certificates get translated
A foreign death certificate is needed to settle an estate, claim life insurance or survivor benefits, and in immigration cases, such as a surviving spouse proving a prior marriage ended, or a petition that depends on a relationship to the deceased.
What must be carried over
Every field has to be translated, including the cause of death, the certifying physician, the place and time of death, the registry office and any marginal annotations recording later corrections. Cause-of-death terminology is where general translation tools fail: the medical terms are precise and must not be approximated.
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 $0.10 per word.
