Religious and civil marriages, both registered
Greece recognises both religious and civil marriage, and either is registered with the lixiarcheio, the registry office of the municipality, which issues the marriage registration act (ληξιαρχική πράξη γάμου). A church document on its own is not the civil record.
Greece also keeps a separate municipal roll (dimotologio) recording family membership, and a certificate from it is a different document that offices sometimes ask for instead. Ask which — see our Greek birth certificate page.
Transliteration, and gendered surnames
Greek transliterates several ways and the official system does not always match a passport or a spelling a family has used abroad for generations. We follow the passport and note genuine differences rather than standardising.
Greek surnames are gendered, so a wife's form differs from her husband's — Papadopoulos and Papadopoulou are one family name. That reads as a mismatch on a US form and is not one. See our Greek 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
Is our church certificate enough?
Not on its own. The civil registration with the lixiarcheio is what a foreign office will want.
Why do our surnames differ?
Greek surnames are gendered. Papadopoulos and Papadopoulou are one name, and we say so.
My name is spelled differently everywhere.
Greek transliterates several ways. We follow your passport and note the variations.
