A certificate or an extract from the birth record
Lithuanian births are registered by a municipal civil registry office (civilinės metrikacijos skyrius). Older documents are birth certificates (gimimo liudijimas). Since 1 January 2017 registry offices no longer issue certificates: they issue an extract certifying the civil status record (civilinės būklės akto įrašą liudijantis išrašas), either printed and signed or delivered electronically. Requests can be filed online through the Centre of Registers' MEPIS system, at a registry office or at a Lithuanian consulate. Both the old certificate and the new extract are official, and we translate whichever you hold, in full.
Where the document shows a personal code (asmens kodas), we copy it digit by digit. It has 11 digits: the first gives sex and century of birth, the next six the date of birth as year, month and day, then a three-digit serial number and a check digit. An officer can therefore compare it with the printed date of birth. If the two do not match, we translate what is printed and add a note rather than correct it; only the registry can amend the record.
Older records and the name in your passport
Many families tracing Lithuanian roots hold a copy of a parish register entry or an archive certificate rather than a civil document. The Lithuanian State Historical Archives keep church record books of several confessions from the 18th to the 20th century, covering births, marriages and deaths. We translate archive certificates and register copies in whatever language they are written in, and say in a note what kind of document each one is.
Lithuanian names keep their letters č, š, ž, ė, ą, ę, į, ų and ū on the certificate. A daughter's surname differs from her father's (Kazlauskas, Kazlauskaitė), and we transliterate each name exactly as printed and follow your passport spelling when you ask. See the Lithuanian passport page and our Lithuanian page. USCIS does not require an apostille; for an office that does, Lithuanian notaries issue it.
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 document says 'išrašas', not 'liudijimas'.

An electronic extract is an official document. We translate everything on it, signature details included.
My father's surname is Kazlauskas and mine is Kazlauskaitė.
That is the same family name in its daughter's form. We keep each form exactly as printed.
