Khmer script has no spaces between words
Khmer is written without spaces — a line breaks between phrases, not between words — so reading it requires knowing where one word ends and the next begins. Software that splits on spaces produces nonsense, and a name can be divided in more than one place.
The script also has no capital letters and a large set of subscript consonants stacked under the main line. A name transliterates several ways and Cambodian passports have used more than one romanisation system over the years, so a passport and an older certificate may disagree about the same person. We match the passport and note the variants.
Records that were destroyed, and the ones that replaced them
The Khmer Rouge destroyed most civil registration, so a great many Cambodians hold documents reconstructed after 1979 or issued decades after the event they record, sometimes on the basis of witness statements. A birth certificate issued in 1995 for a 1970 birth is normal, not suspicious.
We translate what the document says, including the recital of how it was reconstituted, because that recital is what explains the gap to an adjudicator. Khmer names put the family name first, and dates may appear in the Buddhist era as well as the Gregorian.
Documents from Cambodia
Each of these pages describes the document as Cambodia issues it — the authority, the format, the annotations and what offices in the United States ask for: Birth Certificate · Marriage Certificate · Divorce Certificate · Criminal Record Certificate · Academic Transcript · High School Diploma · University Diploma · Articles of Incorporation · Bank Statement · Death Certificate · Disability Certificate · Driver's License · Expert Report · Lease Agreement · Legal Separation · Medical Records · Name Change Document · Identity 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.
Frequently asked questions
My birth certificate was issued twenty years after I was born.
Normal in Cambodia. Records were destroyed and reconstructed after 1979, and the document usually recites how. We translate that recital.
Which of my names is the surname?
The first one. Khmer puts the family name before the given name.
The spelling differs from my passport.
Cambodian romanisation has changed over the years. We match the passport and note the variants.
