From the Public Services Agency

Moldovan births are registered by the Public Services Agency (Agenția Servicii Publice, ASP), which runs civil status offices in Chisinau and the districts. The older document is the Certificat de naștere, an A5-size form with a light background and a blue or purple border, an ink stamp and the registrar's signature. Since 1 November 2025 the ASP issues an extract from the birth act (extras de pe actul de naștere) instead, delivered electronically to the holder's online account or printed on A4. Certificates issued earlier on the old forms remain valid while the data in them is unchanged.

The record carries the child's 13-digit personal code, the IDNP. It starts with 2, then the last three digits of the year the code was assigned, a registry office code, a serial number and a check digit, so it does not encode the date of birth. We copy it digit by digit. A birth record can also show nationality or ethnic affiliation, which the ASP records on a sworn declaration, and any later amendments, listed as notes when the applicant asks for them.

Old forms, Transnistria and the multilingual extract

Certificates from before 1989, when Moldovan was written in Cyrillic, and many Soviet-era forms are in Russian or Cyrillic script; we translate them from that language. Documents issued by the de facto authorities on the left bank of the Nistru (Transnistria) are not recognized by the US State Department. The ASP can confirm such a birth and record it in the Moldovan registers, then issue a Moldovan extract, which is the document to translate.

The ASP also issues a multilingual extract under CIEC Convention No. 16, with field labels in 12 languages including English. Only the labels are translated on it, so a US office may still want a full translation of the Romanian entries and stamps. We transliterate names as printed and follow the passport spelling if you ask. See our Romanian page and our Russian 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.
