Moroccan law has no legal separation

The 2004 Family Code does not provide a legal separation status that leaves the marriage in place, as some US states do. A Moroccan marriage ends by repudiation, divorce or annulment, all under court supervision. What a Moroccan file may contain instead are documents from a period between the two: a court's interim measures when spouses can no longer live together (article 121), a reconciliation report, or proof of a revocable repudiation during the waiting period.

A revocable repudiation does not end the marriage at once: the husband may take his wife back during the waiting period (iddat), and two adouls certify the resumption. If the period ends without that, the divorce becomes final. US officers sometimes read the first act as a separation; the translation keeps the legal terms so they can see what it is.

Translating it so the status is clear

We translate the Arabic legal terms precisely (revocable, irrevocable, waiting period, interim order) and add a translator's note only where a term has no US equivalent. Dates matter, because the date of the act and the end of the waiting period can both be relevant to when a later marriage was possible. Where a document gives the date in both the Hijri and Gregorian calendars, we translate both as printed.

A US court asked to grant a separation applies US law, so the translation's job is only to show accurately what the Moroccan documents say. If you need to prove the marriage ended, the document to translate is usually the divorce act and judgment: see the Moroccan divorce decree page. See also the marriage certificate page, our Arabic page and our French 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.
