The tarjeta de vacunación
Nicaraguan childhood immunisation is recorded on a tarjeta de vacunación stamped at the MINSA health unit or casa base community post that gave each dose.
Nicaragua gives BCG at birth and runs a programme with high recorded coverage delivered heavily through community brigades, so the stamp may name a community post rather than a clinic. We reproduce it as printed.
Where the record sits
Care runs through MINSA facilities, the empresas médicas previsionales for insured workers, and a private sector. Each keeps its own record.
Retrieval from Nicaragua has become harder for people who left after 2018, and where a client can only obtain a partial record we translate that, named for what it is.
The cédula, and its check letter
Nicaraguan medical documents carry the cédula number, written as a municipality code, the date of birth and a serial with a check letter, so it encodes where and when on its face.
It does not change and is the cross-check across the file. We reproduce it exactly including the letter.
The Caribbean coast, and the languages
On the Caribbean coast, Creole English, Miskito, Mayangna and Rama are spoken, and a clinical record may note a consultation conducted in one of them or a patient recorded under an English name.
A person may hold documents under an English name and a Hispanicised one, which is usage rather than a legal change. See our Spanish page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, and every seal, stamp and registry endorsement is translated with the text. See how we translate and certified versus standard.
