The contract, the amin and the registry
A Yemeni marriage begins as a contract (عقد الزواج), which a licensed marriage notary (أمين) writes on the official form under the Documentation Law. Under the Personal Status Law No. 20 of 1992 the contract must state the spouses' ages, their identity card numbers where they have them, and the prompt and deferred dower (المهر المعجل والمؤجل), and it is concluded before two witnesses. The Civil Status Law then requires the contract to be lodged with the civil registry, which stamps it and writes on the entry number.
The registry's own record is what the US State Department calls the Marriage Registration Document, issued by the Ministry of the Interior's Civil Status and Civil Registry Authority. Current ones are 8 by 8 inch cards in green, red, pink and cream with embedded fibres and UV images; older ones vary in size and colour. We translate whichever you hold, every stamp, entry number and the dower amounts included. See our Arabic page.
Late registration, court judgments and dates
The State Department notes that most Yemeni marriages are not registered when they take place, and that registry documents are issued at any time afterwards on the requester's information. Yemenis also obtain district court judgments confirming a marriage, which rest on witness testimony; the Department gives those the weight of an affidavit. A recent issue date on an old marriage is therefore normal, and we translate the marriage date and the issue date so they cannot be confused.
Yemeni laws are dated in both calendars, a Hijri date followed by الموافق (corresponding to) and the Gregorian date, and court and registry papers may follow the same pattern; in those texts Gregorian months are written يناير, مارس, أبريل. We translate both dates as printed. Names follow the chain of given, father's and grandfather's names, as on the Yemeni birth certificate, spelled as in your passport. For an immigrant visa, see 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.
