Certified Yemeni National ID Card Translation

eVerbary translates your Yemeni national ID card 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.

The personal card and the family card

Under the Civil Status Law No. 23 of 1991 every Yemeni must obtain a personal card (البطاقة الشخصية) from the civil registry at 16, valid for ten years, and must report changes to its details within 60 days. A head of family also receives a family card booklet (دفتر البطاقة العائلية), valid for ten years and renewed every five, which lists the household. The US State Department lists the card as the National Identity Card, showing the holder's name, date of birth, photograph and blood type.

We translate every field on both sides of the card, including the issuing office and its dates, and every page of the family booklet you send, with each family member's entry. The Disability Law allows the type of disability to be recorded on the personal or family card; if yours has such an entry, it is translated as written. See our Arabic page.

The national number and the name

A 2003 amendment to the Civil Status Law created a national number (الرقم الوطني) assigned centrally to every citizen, carried on all their certificates, their card and every civil entry, and never reused or reassigned. If your card shows it, we copy it digit by digit, and we use the same number wherever it appears on your other translations so a US officer can match them.

The law distinguishes the given name (الاسم), the name a person is known by (الشهرة), and the family name (اللقب), defined as the family's name or whatever ancestors' name stands in for it, which is how tribal names enter documents. We keep the full chain as printed and follow your passport spelling. See the Yemeni passport 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.
