The short copy (odpis skrócony) and the full copy (odpis zupełny) are different documents
A Polish civil registry office (Urząd Stanu Cywilnego) issues two kinds of copy and only one of them carries the history. The odpis skrócony — the abridged copy — gives the current state of the record. The odpis zupełny — the full copy — gives the entry and every annotation made to it since, including a divorce, an annulment or a correction.
If the point of the document is to show what happened to the marriage, the abridged copy will not show it. Order the full copy — see our Polish birth certificate page.
Diacritics, and declined surnames
Polish uses ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź and ż, and stripping them changes words and names. We reproduce them, and where a passport or a US record spells a name without them we note the difference rather than silently choosing one.
Polish surnames also decline, and a wife's form can differ from her husband's by a syllable — Kowalski and Kowalska are the same family name. That reads as an inconsistency on a US form and is not one, so the translation makes the structure explicit. See our Polish 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
Which copy should I order?
The odpis zupełny, the full copy, if anything has happened to the marriage since. The abridged copy does not carry the annotations.
Why do my wife's and my surnames differ?
Polish surnames decline by gender. Kowalski and Kowalska are the same name. We make that explicit so nobody reads it as a mismatch.
Do you keep the Polish spelling?
Yes, with diacritics, and we note any genuine difference from the spelling on your passport.
