Certified Turkmen Birth Certificate Translation

eVerbary translates your Turkmen birth certificate into English for $24.95 per page with no word cap, by a professional human translator, with a signed certification. Most orders are delivered within a few hours. Accepted by USCIS and by US universities, colleges and schools, or your money back.

Issued at registration, in two designs

Turkmen births are registered with the civil registry office, the successor to the Soviet ZAGS, under the oversight of the Ministry of Adalat (Justice). A birth has to be registered within three months and the certificate is handed over at registration. Two designs circulate: the old Soviet-style certificate and the Turkmenistan version. Both are valid, and a certificate with a mistake is reissued rather than corrected by hand.

Until the age of 16 the birth certificate is a child's identity document, because the internal passport is only issued from 16 — see our Turkmen identity card page. Turkmenistan is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so a certificate for use abroad is legalised instead; USCIS asks for neither, only the certified translation.

The father's entry, and the 2002–2008 months

The mother has to declare a father at registration, and she can name one without his agreement. Where she is not married, she receives a separate document stating that the father's details were entered on her declaration. Older certificates sometimes leave the father blank. We translate the entry exactly as printed, and the separate document too if you send it.

Certificates issued between August 2002 and July 2008 may date events in the renamed months — Türkmenbaşy for January, Gurbansoltan for April, Ruhnama for September. We give the standard month. Older certificates are often in Russian; see our Turkmen page and our Russian 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.
