The medical certificate and the registry record
A death in Lithuania is first certified by a medical death certificate (medicininis mirties liudijimas), which health institutions now issue electronically through the national e-health system. Its cause-of-death section follows World Health Organization recommendations. The civil registry then records the death and issues an extract certifying the death record; older documents are death certificates (mirties liudijimas). A family file may contain both the medical and the registry document, and they are not the same thing.
In the US a Lithuanian death record usually proves that an earlier marriage ended, supports a survivor's or insurance claim, or opens an estate. Where an insurer or court needs the cause of death, check which of your documents actually states it and translate that one. The translation keeps the registry entry details and the extract's own issue date, which an office may compare with the date of death. See the Lithuanian marriage certificate page if you are documenting a remarriage.
Forensic cases and older records
When a death is investigated, the State Forensic Medicine Service (Valstybinė teismo medicinos tarnyba) establishes the cause and time of death and any injuries, and issues its own expert report. That report is a separate document from the registry extract. If an insurer or court needs it, see the Lithuanian expert report page; we translate the findings, the questions put to the expert and the conclusions in full.
Deaths from before the Second World War are often found only in parish registers, kept today by the Lithuanian State Historical Archives. A married woman's surname usually appears in its -ienė form, which can differ from the form on her birth record. We translate every document as written and can add a note linking the forms. See our Lithuanian 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
I have a medical certificate and a registry extract.
They are different documents. Most offices want the registry one; we translate either or both.
My grandmother's surname ends in -ienė on one record and -aitė on another.
Those are her married and maiden forms. We translate both as printed and can note the link.
Does USCIS need an apostille on it?
No. A court or agency that does can get one from a Lithuanian notary.
