The certificate of change of name
Anyone aged 16 or over can change their surname, given name or patronymic by application to the civil registry, made at a Public Service Centre or through egov.kz. The registry issues a certificate of change of name, patronymic or surname, and the birth certificate (and marriage certificate, if any) is reissued in the new name. The ID card and passport must then be replaced within a month.
A common reason is to take a surname in the Kazakh tradition, from the father's or grandfather's name. A presidential decree of 2 April 1996 governs how Kazakh surnames and patronymics are spelled, with -uly or -kyzy joined to the father's name, and states that a change of spelling does not affect a person's rights or obligations.
The bridge between old and new documents
In a US file, this certificate links documents in the old name (Akhmetov, Nurlanovich) to those in the new one (Akhmet, Nurlanuly). We translate both names exactly as printed. Bring it together with the birth certificate and the passport that show each name.
How a US agency records a change of name is up to that agency; ask it. See our Kazakh page and our Russian 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
My patronymic changed from -ovich to -uly.
A common change. The certificate records it, and we translate both forms exactly.
I got a new birth certificate after the change.
That is the usual result. Translate the change certificate too, so the link between names is documented.
Can you put my new name on the translation of an old document?
No. Each document is translated as printed; the change certificate explains the difference.
