Only a court can change or correct a name
Guinean registrars cannot alter a name on their own. In September 2026 the minister in charge of civil status reminded them that they may not add village names, numbers or other marks to a name, and that a correction needs a court decision, which the registrar then transcribes. The document you need is therefore a judgment, often a jugement rectificatif correcting an error in a civil record.
After the judgment the correction is noted on the record, usually in its margin. We translate the judgment and the corrected record, keeping both versions of the name visible, because that is what shows a US office the link between them.
Titles, spellings and initials
The minister also said that a delegated registrar may not add Hadja or Elhadj to a birth record, yet many adults carry these titles on other documents. Names from Pular, Maninka or Susu are also spelt in more than one way in French, so Mamadou, Mamadu and similar variants appear for the same person.
We reproduce every name exactly as printed and can add a translator's note on titles. See our Guinean passport page, our birth certificate page and our French 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 passport says Elhadj, my birth certificate does not.
We translate each document as written and can add a note explaining that Elhadj is a title.
Can the registrar fix a spelling mistake?
According to the ministry, no; a court has to order it. We translate the court's decision.
Do you correct my name in the translation?
No. A certified translation reproduces the document, including any error in it.
