The bulletin n° 3, from the court of your birthplace

The Ivorian criminal record (casier judiciaire) has three bulletins, and the one issued to the person concerned is the extrait de casier judiciaire, bulletin n° 3. An Ivorian national obtains it from the clerk's office of the court for the place of birth, in person or through someone else; a foreigner who lived in Côte d'Ivoire applies to the Bureau du Casier Central at the Ministry of Justice in Abidjan. The State Department notes it is printed on orange paper for Ivorians and yellow paper for foreigners.

Since 2025 the Ministry of Justice also issues the casier judiciaire and the certificate of nationality electronically through e-justice.ci, first in the Yopougon and Dabou courts and then in more jurisdictions. The minister said the rest of the court system would follow. An electronic extract is a valid document, and we translate it in full with any reference or verification code. See our French page.

For an immigrant visa

Consular officers rely on the State Department's reciprocity page for Côte d'Ivoire, which names the casier judiciaire as the police certificate and says certified copies are not available, so you order a new one when needed. Allow time for the court to process it. Applicants living abroad can apply through an Ivorian embassy or consulate. See what the NVC asks for and the general police record page.

We translate the bulletin exactly as issued: the identity details it was searched under, the court, the date and the entries, or the mention that there are none. Côte d'Ivoire is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so there is no Ivorian apostille; USCIS does not ask for one. If you served a sentence, the prison's release certificate (billet de sortie) is a separate document we also translate.

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.
