A death notice first, a certificate later

Eritrean law requires a death to be registered within 30 days, and registration with the local administration is usually quick because the burial permit depends on it. The sub-zone administration then removes the person from the zone's population register and prints a death notice with the details. The civil status office issues the death certificate on the strength of that notice, which is also used for inheritance and court matters.

Many families hold only the death notice, a church document or a Sharia court death certificate, and the civil certificate is often issued later, when someone abroad asks for it. Each is translated as issued. Requests from abroad go through a person in Eritrea holding an authorisation issued by an Eritrean embassy; see our power of attorney page.

What the translation shows

The deceased is identified by given name, father's name and grandfather's name, and Eritrean civil documents usually give the mother's full name too, which is what links the certificate to a survivor's own documents. State documents are dated in the Gregorian calendar; a church document may use the Ethiopian one. See our Tigrinya and Arabic pages.

For Muslims the Sharia court also issues inheritance certificates naming the heirs; if an office wants to know who inherits, that is the document to translate with the death certificate. The Eritrean birth certificate page explains how Eritrean civil registration works.

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.
