The CNIE, issued by the national police
Moroccans prove their identity with the electronic national identity card (carte nationale d'identité électronique, CNIE), issued by the national police (DGSN). The current generation, governed by Law 04-20, was launched in August 2020: it carries a chip and comes with a personal PIN so the holder can prove identity online. The card is compulsory from age 16 and can be issued to a younger child at the request of a legal representative.
Earlier CNIEs remain valid until they expire or the holder's data changes, so both designs are in circulation. The card is also the basis for a passport application. A US bank, DMV or employer may ask for it as a second identity document; send both sides, since the back carries information the front does not. Because the card is a chip card, a scan shows only the printed data; we translate what is printed, not what is stored on the chip.
Two scripts on one card
The card gives the holder's name in Arabic script and in a Latin spelling. The Latin spelling is the one other documents should follow, but older civil status records and school papers sometimes transcribe the same Arabic name differently (Mohammed, Mohamed, Mhamed). We translate the card exactly as printed, copy the card number and dates character by character, and use the card or passport spelling throughout your file when you ask.
Only the Ministry of the Interior can correct the Latin transcription of a name in the civil status register, following the Arabic original; a translator cannot. If your card and your birth record disagree, we translate each as printed and can add a note that both refer to you, which is usually what a US office needs. See the Moroccan name change 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.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need both sides of my CNIE?
Yes. Each side carries different data, and both are translated.
My card is the older model without the new design.
Older cards stay valid until expiry. We translate either model the same way.
My name is spelled differently on my diploma.
Common with Arabic names. We translate each document as printed and can follow your CNIE or passport spelling on request.
