A decision of the Ministry of Interior

In North Macedonia a change of personal name is decided by the Ministry of Interior, not by the registry office. Under the Law on Personal Name, the Ministry issues a decision (решение) within 30 days of the application. For a minor, both parents apply, and a child aged 10 or older must consent. Once final, the decision is sent to the bodies that keep records of names, so the registers are updated.

The decision records the change from the old name to the new one. It is the document that links your old and new identities, and a US office reading two different names in your file will want to see it. We translate the whole decision, including the reasoning, the legal remedy clause and every stamp. Send it with the clause or stamp showing that it became final.

Names changed by marriage, and new documents

A name changed by marriage needs no separate decision: the marriage extract records the surname each spouse carries afterwards, and a divorce can bring a return to the earlier one. A birth extract issued later shows the current data, since the extract always reflects the register at the time of issue. See the Macedonian marriage certificate and birth certificate pages.

After a change, the identity card and passport must be replaced; the passport law requires holders to hand in a passport within 30 days of certain data changes. Your old and new documents may therefore show different names and spellings. We follow the spelling you give us and can add a note linking the names. 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.
