A civil or a church wedding, one registry record
Lithuanian marriages are registered by a civil registry office, which issued a marriage certificate (santuokos liudijimas) and, since 2017, an extract certifying the marriage record (santuokos sudarymo įrašą liudijantis išrašas). Under Article 3.24 of the Civil Code, a church wedding also has civil effect once the religious community reports it to the civil registry; if it reports within ten days, the marriage dates from the ceremony. Either way, the registry record is the legal proof, so it is the document a US office needs.
The record shows each spouse's surname before and after the marriage. Lithuanian women's surnames have married forms in -ienė (Kazlauskienė), maiden forms in -aitė, -ytė, -utė or -ūtė, and, under the Lithuanian Language Commission's rules, a form in -ė that shows no marital status (Kazlauskė). A wife's name can therefore change in more than one way, and we translate each form exactly as printed.
For a spousal petition
USCIS also looks at how any earlier marriage ended, so a previous divorce decree or a former spouse's death certificate is often needed alongside this one. A church certificate on its own is a religious record; if your file contains both it and the registry document, we translate both and label each for what it is. See marriage green card translations.
Since 1 May 2022, Law No. XIV-903 allows the letters w, q and x in some Lithuanian citizens' names, for example a surname taken from a foreign spouse, though other foreign diacritics are still not used. A marriage record may therefore show a spouse's surname in a different spelling from that spouse's own passport. We keep the record's spelling and note the passport form. 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
We married in church. Is that enough?
The church marriage counts once the civil registry records it. Translate the registry certificate or extract; we can translate the church document too.
My surname changed from -aitė to -ienė.
That is the usual change from the maiden to the married form. We translate both forms exactly as printed.
I have an old certificate and a new extract.
Both are official. Most offices need only one; we translate either or both.
