The registry certificate and the medical certificate
A death in Latvia is registered by a registry office on the basis of a medical certificate of the cause of death issued by a medical institution or practitioner, or on a court judgment. The registry then issues the death certificate (miršanas apliecība). By law it gives the deceased's name, surname and personal identity number, the date and place of birth, the date and place of death, and the institution, date and number of the entry in the Death Register.
The cause of death is not among the items the law lists for the certificate. If an insurer, court or estate lawyer needs it, the medical certificate is the document that carries it, and we translate that separately. Repeat certificates and registry statements can be requested from any registry office or the Ministry of Justice Civil Registry Department.
Using it in the US
A Latvian death certificate usually proves that a previous marriage ended, supports a survivor's benefit claim, or opens an estate. The personal identity number lets an officer match it to the deceased's other documents; numbers assigned before July 2017 begin with the date of birth, so we copy them digit by digit and flag any mismatch rather than correct it.
Where a place name on an older record no longer matches today's map, we translate it exactly as printed and can add the present-day name in a translator's note. Older death records may contain Russian; we translate whatever language appears. See the Latvian marriage certificate page, our Latvian 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
The certificate does not say how my father died.
The Latvian death certificate does not list the cause. The medical certificate does; we can translate it as well.
Can I order a new copy from the US?
Yes, through a registry office, a Latvian mission or the e-service. Any official copy can be translated from a scan.
Does USCIS need an apostille?
No. A court or state agency might; ask before ordering one from a Latvian sworn notary.
