The commune, the Archives, and French
A Haitian marriage is recorded by the civil registrar (officier d'état civil) of the commune and the record is deposited with the Archives Nationales. A recent marriage yields a marriage record (acte de mariage) from the commune; an older one usually yields an archives extract (extrait des archives). Both are ordinary and we translate either.
Almost every Haitian official document is in French while the couple's own statements and letters are in Haitian Creole, and a file routinely needs both. They are different languages rather than registers of one — see our Haitian Creole and French pages.
Narrative acts, translated as narrative
Older Haitian acts are handwritten and narrative — a continuous paragraph reciting who appeared before the officer, in whose presence and what was declared — rather than a form with labelled fields. They are translated as the narrative they are rather than reorganised into a structure the original never had.
See our Haitian birth certificate 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
Should I get the commune act or the archives extract?
Foreign authorities generally want the Archives Nationales extract. The commune act is what most people hold. Ask the office, because ordering the wrong one costs more than asking.
My documents are in French but I speak Creole.
That is the normal situation. Official documents are in French; statements and letters are usually in Creole. We translate both.
My act is one long handwritten paragraph.
That is the narrative format. We translate it as written rather than restructuring it into a form it does not have.
