Registered at the mairie within fifteen days
A death in Côte d'Ivoire is declared by a family member to the civil registrar of the mairie, or of the sous-préfecture, within fifteen days. The State Department lists what is filed: the death certificate from the hospital or clinic, the deceased's identity document, the declarant's ID, and the marriage certificate or livret de famille. The registry then draws up the death record, signed by the officier de l'état civil and stamped with the round blue ETAT-CIVIL seal.
Families receive an extrait d'acte de décès, the short version, or a copie intégrale, the full record with more detail on the deceased. The hospital certificate is a separate medical document. Both the extract and the full copy carry the revenue stamp, the registrar's signature and the blue seal, all of which we translate. If an insurer or court needs the cause of death, check which of your papers states it before you order. See our French page.
Lost registers and duplicates
Ivorian civil records are kept in two copies, the original at the civil registry and a duplicate at the court registry, so a lost register can be rebuilt from the other copy. Where both disappeared during the crisis that began in 2002, a 2007 ordinance set up commissions in each sous-préfecture to reconstruct them. A record rebuilt that way is still a valid record, and we translate any note explaining its origin.
The mairie issues a fresh duplicate on request, so the date of issue may be years after the death; we translate both dates. According to the State Department, certified copies in the strict sense are made only by the Ministry of the Interior at a diplomatic mission's request, so a duplicate from the mairie is the normal document. In a US file the certificate usually proves that an earlier marriage ended or supports an estate or benefit claim. See also the divorce decree 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.
