Jordanian names rarely change
In Jordan a name is not changed at will. The UK Passport Office's guidance on Jordan states that names are not changed except to correct an error made by the issuing department, and a woman keeps her name on marriage. What people bring as a name change document is therefore usually a correction: a Civil Status record or court decision correcting a name or date, or a new certificate issued after the correction.
Late registrations also produce such papers: a birth or death registered more than a year late needs a court order, and the decision appears alongside the certificate. We translate the decision, the corrected certificate and any marginal note, and keep the old and new entries side by side so an officer can see what changed. See our Arabic page and the Jordanian birth certificate page.
Spelling is the usual problem
Most Jordanian name mismatches are spellings, not changes. The English spelling on a passport is chosen by the applicant, reused from any earlier document of the department, or otherwise taken from the department's electronic dictionary. A family or tribal name in brackets in a passport is not part of the legal name. So two documents can spell the same name differently without anything having changed.
In a translation we follow your passport's spelling and keep the four-part order of given name, father's, grandfather's and family name. Where a document uses only part of the chain, such as given name and family name, we translate exactly what it shows and do not fill in the missing parts. If your US documents use a shorter form, an officer may ask for proof that the names refer to one person; translated identity documents usually answer that. See the Jordanian passport and identity card pages.
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
I married. Is there a document showing my new surname?
No: a Jordanian woman keeps her name on marriage. Your marriage certificate shows both names.
My name is spelled differently in each document.
Common. Tell us your passport spelling and we use it throughout.
My birth was registered late by court order.
We translate the court decision with the certificate.
