The Tribunal Electoral holds the civil register
Panamanian civil records are held by the Dirección de Registro Civil of the Tribunal Electoral, not by a ministry. An electoral court issuing marriage certificates is the ordinary Panamanian arrangement, and the translation names the authority as printed rather than substituting something that sounds more familiar.
The certificate carries the cédula numbers of both spouses and the references locating the entry — see our Panamanian birth certificate page.
The divorce is written on the marriage record
A divorce is recorded as a marginal annotation against the marriage entry rather than as a separate certificate, so a copy of the certificado de matrimonio issued before the divorce shows a marriage still in force — with nothing on it to suggest anything is missing. Order a current copy from the Tribunal Electoral before paying anyone to translate the one in your drawer.
Where annotations exist, all of them are translated: divorce, annulment, death of a spouse, a change of name, a correction. They are the part an office is usually reading, and a translation that carries the body of the certificate but not the margin is incomplete.
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 a page is up to 250 words.
A standard translation is for business or personal use where certification is not needed, such as CVs, client intake forms or marketing material, and is billed at the same $24.95 per page of up to 250 words.
Frequently asked questions
Why does an electoral court issue this?
Panama's civil register sits under the Tribunal Electoral. It is ordinary, and we name the authority as printed.
Do I need a current copy?
If anything has been annotated since — a divorce, a correction, a name change — yes. Only a copy issued after the annotation shows it.
Are apostille pages translated too?
If you are submitting them, yes. An apostille is a page of the packet rather than a decoration.
