Forensic medicine inside the Supreme Court
El Salvador places its Instituto de Medicina Legal inside the Corte Suprema de Justicia, so forensic medical reports are issued by an institution of the judiciary rather than by a prosecution service or a ministry.
That is unusual and it is part of the report's standing. We name the institute and the judicial branch rather than describing it as a state laboratory.
The reconocimiento médico legal
The routine instrument in violence and injury cases is a reconocimiento médico legal — a forensic medical examination report — on a standard form recording injuries, their mechanism and the healing period assessed.
The healing period is a legal category driving the classification of the offence, so it is a finding rather than a clinical note. We translate it as written.
Peritos in civil matters
In civil matters the court appoints experts, with the parties able to propose and object, and the appointment names the points to be examined.
We translate the appointment with the report, because it defines what the expert was permitted to address.
The DUI, and the junta de vigilancia
Experts sign with their DUI and their junta de vigilancia registration for health professions, which is how they are verified, and we reproduce both.
Salvadoran forensic documents are frequently obtained by relatives abroad and arrive as photographs. We translate what is legible and flag what is not. 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.
