The extract from the register of marriages
A marriage is proved by an extract from the register of marriages (извод од матичната книга на венчаните), issued by the local registry office where the marriage took place. The form gives the date and place of the marriage, then for the groom and the bride side by side their name, surname, date and place of birth, citizenship, personal number, residence and parents' names, the mother's with her maiden surname. A separate box records the surname each spouse carries after the marriage, which is where a bride's change of name appears.
The register also records the witnesses, the official before whom the marriage was concluded and, if one spouse was represented, the proxy, although the State Department notes that a proxy marriage is not usually evident from the extract itself. A later divorce or annulment is sent to the registrar by the court and entered in the same register, so a current extract may show that the marriage has ended. We translate the notes along with the entries.
Church certificates and spousal petitions
Only the civil registration has legal effect. According to the State Department, certificates issued by the Orthodox Church are ceremonial and based on the civil record, so a church certificate does not replace the registry extract. North Macedonia registers marriage only between a man and a woman and does not recognise same-sex marriages concluded abroad. A certificate of civil status (уверение за слободна брачна состојба) proves that a person is unmarried.
For a spousal petition USCIS also looks at how earlier marriages ended, so a divorce judgment or a former spouse's death certificate is often needed too. The international marriage extract has multilingual labels and, according to the State Department, does not need translating, but handwritten entries in Macedonian may still need it for USCIS. Send every page, including the back of the extract if anything is written there. See our Macedonian 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 and at the registry.
Only the registry extract is the legal marriage. We can translate both and label each for what it is.
The extract shows my wife's maiden name and a different married surname.
The form has a box for the surname each spouse carries after the marriage. We translate both names as printed.
Do I need an unmarried certificate?
Only if an office asks. It is a separate civil status certificate from the same registry, and we translate it the same way.
