Only a court changes the register
Under the 2011 civil status law, an entry in the national population register is changed only by a court decision. After the 2011 re-enrolment the authorities were strict about spelling and date corrections, which left many people with documents that disagree; in 2017 they said they would relax the practice for spelling. A change of name or a correction therefore usually shows up as a judgment followed by a new extract.
We translate the judgment and the new documents as separate items, with the old and new forms of the name kept exactly as written. See the Mauritanian birth certificate page for how the extract itself is laid out.
Spelling is not always a change
Every person is registered with a first name, a family name and the father's first name. Among Moors, Ould (son of) and Mint (daughter of) link names; Afro-Mauritanian families use family names such as Ba, Sy or Diallo. In Arabic a name is almost always spelled one way, but French transcriptions vary, so two documents with Mohamed and Mohamedou may be a transcription difference rather than a change of name.
The translation keeps each document's spelling. US offices compare names across documents, so if the difference is only transcription, say so and we can add a note linking it to your passport. See our Arabic 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.
