A contract certificate, issued under the Judiciary
A Sudanese Muslim marriage is recorded on a wathiqat 'aqd zawaj (وثيقة عقد زواج), a marriage contract certificate. It is completed by a ma'dhun, a marriage official appointed under the Judiciary, usually on the wedding day, and names the spouses, the witnesses and the terms of the contract. Several versions of the form are in circulation, so two genuine certificates can look quite different.
When a marriage was not registered at the time, the couple first ask the court to confirm it; the judge then writes to a ma'dhun, who issues a certificate of ratification of marriage. It carries both dates, the marriage and the ratification, and the translation keeps them apart. See our Arabic page.
Church marriages, dates and what US offices look at
Christian couples usually marry in church, which issues its own certificate, and then register the marriage at a personal status court. The court registration and the church certificate are separate documents; ask the receiving office which it wants, or translate both.
Court and contract documents may carry a Hijri date beside the Gregorian one; we translate each as written. For a spouse petition the names must match the spouses' passports and the Sudanese birth certificates. If the marriage has since ended, see the Sudanese divorce page, and for visa cases what the NVC asks for.
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
My marriage certificate looks different from my cousin's.
Several versions of the form are in use. We translate yours as issued, stamps included.
We registered our marriage years later.
Then you probably hold a ratification certificate issued after a court letter. It is translated with both dates clearly shown.
Does the certificate need an apostille for USCIS?
No. USCIS asks for a certified translation. Sudan is not in the Apostille Convention, so an office that wants authentication means the Ministry of Foreign Affairs route.
