The ACD and the land title
For urban land in Côte d'Ivoire, the key document is the arrêté de concession définitive (ACD), which the Ministry of Construction describes as the only act conferring ownership of urban land under Ordinance 2013-481. It is issued by the Minister of Construction and published in the land register (livre foncier), where the land registrar (conservateur de la propriété foncière) holds the land title (titre foncier) and its number.
An ACD file builds on earlier papers: the allocation letter (lettre d'attribution), the provisional concession order (ACP), a plan certified by a sworn cadastre surveyor and a land status report (état foncier). A family file may contain several of these. We translate each as what it is, so a reader can see which stage a plot had reached. See our French page.
Sales, inheritance and plot numbers
A sale or inheritance of titled land is reflected in the land register. We translate the title number, plot references, areas and boundaries exactly, because those numbers identify the land. Dates of each stage, from allocation to ACD, are kept as printed. Recent ACDs are produced and signed electronically in the ministry's land system, and we translate those signature details too. If the community of property or an inheritance is involved, see the marriage certificate and death certificate pages.
A provisional allocation or a customary arrangement is not the same as an ACD, and the translation never upgrades one into the other. A rural plot held under custom is different again, with its own papers, and the translation describes each document exactly as it is. For acting on land from abroad, see the power of attorney page; for rentals, the lease agreement 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.
