The citizenship certificate does the work

Nepal's citizenship certificate (nagarikta) is the document that establishes identity and nationality, and it is what offices mean when they ask for a Nepali ID. A national identity card programme has been rolling out alongside it, but the citizenship certificate remains the substantive document.

Who can obtain one, and through which parent, has been contested — so its absence in a file is a substantive situation rather than a clerical gap, and one for an attorney rather than a translator.

Bikram Sambat dates

Nepali documents are dated in Bikram Sambat, roughly 56 years and 8 months ahead of the Gregorian calendar, and subtraction does not work: the new year falls in mid-April and the months run 29 to 32 days by astronomical calculation. Each date is looked up rather than computed.

Every field is translated, including the ones US cards do not have

National identity cards carry fields US documents do not: religion, ethnicity or nationality-within-the-state, blood type, marital status, the father's or mother's name, a registered address, an expiry that governs rights rather than travel. A translator who quietly omits one because it has no US equivalent has edited a government document — and it is frequently the omitted field that a file actually turns on.

So every printed field is translated, labelled as the card labels it, and the identity number is reproduced exactly, never translated. Those numbers commonly encode a date of birth, a sex or a place of registration, so altering the digits alters the record. Both sides are translated, because the reverse is where the address, the issuing office and the machine-readable zone usually sit.

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.
