No separation decree in Taiwanese law
The marriage part of Taiwan's Civil Code covers engagement, marriage, its effects, marital property and divorce, but not judicial separation of the kind some US states grant. Spouses owe each other cohabitation unless there is a justifiable reason not to (art. 1001). Instead there are documents that deal with living apart, such as a court order switching the couple to separate property, which either spouse can request after six months or more apart (art. 1010).
A Taiwanese separation document is therefore usually one of three things: a court ruling on the property regime, a court ruling on children while the parents live apart, or a written agreement between the spouses, sometimes notarised. We translate the document for what it is and do not call it a legal separation decree when it is not one; your attorney can explain how a US court or agency will treat it.
Children of parents who live apart
When parents have not lived together for six months or more, the Civil Code applies the divorce rules on children: custody is set by agreement or, failing that, by the court, which can also set contact arrangements (arts. 1055 and 1089-1). The parent who exercises parental rights is registered with the household office. We translate the court's name, the case number and the operative part exactly.
If your separation ended in divorce, the documents you need are on the Taiwanese divorce certificate page. See also the Taiwanese marriage certificate page and our Chinese page. Dates are kept in Minguo years and followed by the Gregorian year. If you remain married and need to show that you have lived apart, a household transcript with each spouse's registered address may also help; ask your attorney.
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.
