Notary divorce or court divorce
Latvia has two routes. If both spouses agree, a sworn notary can dissolve the marriage. Where there are minor children or joint property, the couple must first sign a written agreement on custody, access, child support and property; since 1 March 2026 that agreement must set the maintenance amount and contact arrangements. The notary cannot finish the case until 30 days after it opens, and either spouse can withdraw in that time.
The notary then issues a notarial deed called a divorce certificate (laulības šķiršanas apliecība). The marriage ends on the day it is made. It names both spouses with their personal identity numbers, gives the registration details of the marriage, the date of divorce, a statement that both asked for it, and each spouse's surname after the divorce. If the spouses do not agree, a court decides and issues a judgment instead.
What a US office needs to see
Under the Civil Law, a court presumes a marriage has broken down after one year of living apart, and before that it needs a specific ground such as violence or the other spouse's consent. A court judgment sets out custody and property; a notary certificate refers to the spouses' agreement. Translate the document that ended your marriage, and the agreement as well if the office asks about children or support.
After the divorce the notary informs the registry office where the marriage was registered, the minister of the church that married the couple if it was a church wedding, and the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs (PMLP), so the registers show the marriage as dissolved. The certificate itself records each spouse's surname after the divorce. See the Latvian marriage certificate page and the Latvian legal separation page, and our Latvian 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
Our divorce was done by a notary, not a court. Is that valid?
Yes. Latvian notaries dissolve marriages by mutual agreement and issue a divorce certificate, which we translate in full.
Do I need to translate the agreement on the children?
If the receiving office asks about custody or support, yes. It is a separate document and we translate it too.
The certificate shows my surname after the divorce.
The notary records each spouse's post-divorce surname. We translate it exactly as printed.
