The Ministry of Interior certificate
Deaths in the West Bank are registered by the Palestinian Authority Ministry of Interior. A relative brings the hospital record and a burial declaration to the civil status office in the city where the deceased lived, and a notice from the Ministry of Health is required; the form is then stamped at a service office authorised by the Ministry of Justice. The certificate can be requested online or in person. It uses the same layout as the birth certificate: "State of Palestine, Ministry of Interior, Department of Civil Affairs" in English and Arabic, Ministry seals, the employee's signature and, on newer forms, a gold seal.
When a foreigner dies in the West Bank, the Ministry issues a death certificate without an ID number, on the basis of the hospital record, burial declaration and the deceased's passport and visa. For a Palestinian, the ID number on the certificate is copied exactly, because it links the death to the population record. Any marginal note added later, such as a correction, is translated too.
Older deaths and Gaza certificates
A death that occurred under earlier administrations may be recorded on Jordanian, Egyptian or Israeli forms, depending on place and date, and a family may hold several. For deaths in Gaza after 14 June 2007, US authorities accept a certificate only once the PA in Ramallah has verified it. The hospital record and burial declaration are separate documents and can be translated alongside the certificate if a court or insurer asks.
In US filings a Palestinian death certificate usually proves that an earlier marriage ended, supports a survivor's claim, or opens an estate. See the Palestinian marriage contract page, our birth certificate page and our Arabic page. Where the deceased's name is spelled differently on other documents, we transliterate it as printed on the certificate and can follow the passport spelling when you ask.
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.
