From the health office to the registry
Under the Civil Status Law No. 23 of 1991 a death is reported to the health office where it happened, which draws up the death certificate and sends it to the civil registry, together with the deceased's identity card or a statement that there was none. Deaths of soldiers are reported by the Ministry of Defence. The Medical Professions Law forbids a doctor to sign a death certificate without confirming the actual cause, so a medical certificate may state it.
The registry document is what the State Department calls a Copy of Death Record, issued by the Civil Status and Civil Registry Authority; current ones are 5 by 8 inch cards with security fibres, older ones vary. The Department warns that such records are often issued long after the death on the requester's information. A death not reported within the following year can be registered only by decision of a committee chaired by a public prosecutor. See our Arabic page.
Estates, remarriage and names
In the US a Yemeni death certificate usually proves that an earlier marriage ended, supports a survivor's claim or opens an estate. Yemen's Real Estate Registry Law requires heirs' rights in land to be recorded with an inventory of the estate listing each heir's share, so a family file may also hold that inventory or a court judgment on the heirs. We translate each as a separate document, every share included.
The deceased's name is a chain of given name, father's name, grandfather's name and often a family or tribal name, and relatives' documents may give more or fewer links. We keep each chain as printed and add a translator's note if two documents disagree, rather than correct either. Dates are translated as written, Hijri and Gregorian. See the Yemeni marriage certificate and Yemeni birth certificate pages.
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.
