Standard Igbo and the dialect a document is actually written in
Igbo has many dialects and a twentieth-century Standard Igbo built on top of them, and a document may be written in either. Older church and community records in particular use local forms that a translator trained only on the standard will misread.
Written Igbo uses dotted vowels — ị, ọ, ụ — and a tone system that changes meaning. Those diacritics are routinely dropped by Nigerian systems, which leaves a name that can be read several ways. We keep the spelling the document uses and make the ambiguity explicit rather than picking one silently.
What actually needs translating in an Igbo file
Nigerian civil and court documents are issued in English, so an Igbo translation is normally needed for what surrounds them: letters, threats, church and parish records, statements from a village or family head, and documents from the Biafra-related organisations that appear in asylum claims.
Names carry meaning that a reader should not lose — Chukwu and Chi elements refer to God, and a name may record a circumstance of birth. Nigeria is not in the Apostille Convention, so documents move by legalisation. We tell you which requirement applies before you pay.
Documents from Nigeria
Each of these pages describes the document as Nigeria issues it — the authority, the format, the annotations and what offices in the United States ask for: Birth Certificate · Marriage Certificate · Divorce Document · Police Character Certificate · Academic Transcript · University Diploma · Articles of Incorporation · Bank Statement · Death Certificate · Disability Certificate · Driver's license · Expert Report · Lease Agreement · Legal Separation · Medical Records · Name Change · National ID Card · Passport · Paternity Acknowledgment · Power of Attorney · Property Deed · Vehicle Title.
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.
