The Moldovan marriage record

Marriages in Moldova are registered by the civil status offices of the Public Services Agency (ASP), which also hold solemn ceremonies in their own halls. The traditional document is the Certificat de căsătorie, an A5 form with a pink background and a red or brown border, an ink stamp and the registrar's signature. Since 1 November 2025 the ASP issues an extract from the marriage act instead, electronic or printed on A4; certificates on the earlier forms stay valid while their data is unchanged.

The record gives the spouses' names, including any surname taken at marriage, their personal details, the date of the marriage and the registering office. Where a later divorce or name change has been recorded, an extract issued today reflects the latest state of the act, and the notes section lists the amendments if you ask for them on the application. We translate every note and stamp exactly.

Names, languages and the US file

The surname each spouse chose at marriage is what links the birth certificate to the passport, so we translate both versions exactly as printed. Older certificates, especially from the Soviet period, may be in Russian, and a family file often mixes Romanian and Russian documents with different spellings of the same name. We keep each spelling as printed and follow the passport spelling where you ask.

For a US marriage-based petition, translate the certificate or extract and, if either spouse was married before, the Moldovan divorce record. The ASP's multilingual extract under CIEC Convention No. 16 has English field labels, but the entries and stamps still need translating. If you need a certificate of capacity to marry for a wedding abroad, the ASP issues that as a separate document. See our Romanian 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.
