Registered at the citizens' centre, with the contract behind it
A Mauritanian marriage is registered at a Centre d'accueil des citoyens (CAC), the registration office of the national population registry agency (ANRPTS). The certificate identifies both spouses by their national identification number (NNI) and names the marriage guardian (wali) and the witnesses. Under the Personal Status Code of 2001 the marriage must be registered within three months, and the record states the dower (sadaq), any previous marriages and any conditions the spouses agreed.
Many marriages are performed by a qadi rather than at a centre. Such a marriage is first confirmed by a judgment of a first-instance court and then registered, so a file may hold the judgment and the certificate, with different dates. We translate both. A marriage registered years after the wedding is common and is translated as issued; the receiving office decides what it accepts.
Arabic register, French extract
The register entry itself is kept in Arabic, but the extract you receive may be in French, in Arabic or in both. We translate any of them at the same price. See our Arabic and French pages.
The dower is written as an amount of ouguiyas. A marriage registered before 2018 shows old ouguiyas, worth one tenth of today's, and the translation keeps the figure as printed. If the marriage later ended, see the Mauritanian divorce page; for the children, the birth certificate 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
Our marriage was performed by a qadi.
Then it was registered after a court confirmed it. We translate the court judgment and the certificate.
The certificate lists a dower and earlier marriages.
The 2001 Personal Status Code requires both on the record. Everything on the page is translated.
Does the certificate need an apostille?
USCIS does not require one. Mauritania is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so an office that wants authentication means legalisation; ask it first.
