Divorce by agreement, registered at the household office
A Taiwanese couple who both agree can divorce without a court. Under articles 1049 and 1050 of the Civil Code, the agreement must be in writing, signed by at least two witnesses, and registered at the household registration office, and both spouses must file in person unless the office accepts a good reason. The office issues a divorce certificate with a red wet seal. The State Department notes that a divorce is valid only once it is reflected in the household registration record.
Other divorces go through the court, on the grounds listed in article 1052, or end in a court mediation or settlement, which dissolves the marriage as soon as it is concluded (art. 1052-1). After a final judgment, a mediation or a settlement, either spouse can register the divorce alone. A court divorce therefore leaves a court document as well as the registration, and we translate whichever the receiving office asks for, or both.
Custody, surnames and Minguo dates
Custody of minor children is set by the parents' agreement or, failing that, by the court (art. 1055), and the parent who exercises parental rights is registered with the household office. A spouse who had added the other's surname returns to the original one, and the transcript records the change. We translate every entry with its date in Minguo years, followed by the Gregorian year in brackets, so an officer can match it to your other documents.
Divorce papers from mainland China follow a different system; see the Chinese divorce decree page. For the marriage record itself, see the Taiwanese marriage certificate page, and for the household transcript the Taiwanese birth certificate page. Every seal on the certificate is translated. See also our Chinese page. A divorce by agreement takes effect only when it is registered, so the registration date on the certificate is the one an officer will look 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
We divorced by agreement, with no court.
That is a normal Taiwanese divorce once registered. We translate the certificate and the transcript that shows it.
Is our signed agreement enough without registration?
No. Taiwanese law requires registration, and the State Department looks for it on the household record.
Our divorce was a court mediation.
A court mediation dissolves the marriage when concluded. We translate the court record and the registration.
