Changing a name at the ASP
A change of surname or first name in Moldova is registered by the Public Services Agency (ASP). Adults with full legal capacity apply themselves, as can 16-year-olds who have married or been emancipated. For a child under 16 the parents apply, and the child's consent is needed from age 10. The law lists 13 grounds, among them a name that is hard to pronounce or ridiculous, a return to a birth surname, or a transliteration for someone with another citizenship. The ASP draws up a name-change act and issues an extract from it.
A separate procedure corrects the spelling of a name of Romanian origin to match Romanian linguistic norms and onomastic rules. It applies only to names of Romanian origin. Where a name is not in the dictionaries, a certificate from the national onomastics commission or the ASP's linguistic section is needed. The procedure is free, takes up to three working days and updates the civil status record.
Linking old and new names in a US file
In a US file, the name-change extract links documents in the old name to those in the new one. We translate both names exactly as printed, letter for letter, including Romanian diacritics such as ă, â, î, ș and ț. Bring it together with the birth certificate and the passport that show each name. Where the old name appears only in Cyrillic on a Soviet-era record, we transliterate it as printed and note the Romanian form shown on the name-change extract.
If the change came through a court decision, translate that too; see court translations. A name changed by marriage or divorce is recorded on those records instead; see the Moldovan marriage certificate page. How a US agency records the change is up to that agency. 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.
Frequently asked questions
My Romanian surname was respelled to match the norms.
That is the onomastic spelling procedure. We translate both spellings exactly.
Do I get a certificate or an extract?
Since November 2025 the ASP issues an extract from the name-change act. Either is translated in full.
Can you put my new name on the translation of an old document?
No. Each document is translated as printed; the name-change record explains the difference.
