Eritrean and Ethiopian documents are not the same paperwork
Tigrinya is the working language of Eritrea and of Tigray in northern Ethiopia, and the documents look different depending on which. Eritrean civil records come from the Department of Immigration and Nationality or a local administration; Ethiopian ones come from a kebele or a regional bureau, and may be bilingual with Amharic.
The issuing country decides more than the layout. Eritrean files frequently include national service documents, exit visas and residence permits that have no Ethiopian equivalent, and asylum files turn on exactly those papers. Tell us which country issued the document when you order.
Ge'ez script, and a father's name in place of a surname
Tigrinya is written in Ge'ez script, the same alphabet as Amharic but with extra characters for sounds Amharic does not have. A transliteration made by someone who only reads Amharic will flatten those.
As in Ethiopia there is no family name: the name is given name, father's name, and often grandfather's. Eritrean documents may also use the Ethiopian calendar, seven to eight years behind the Gregorian one with a thirteenth month. We convert each date and label each name element.
Documents by country
Each of these pages describes the document as that country issues it — the authority, the format, the annotations and what offices in the United States ask for.

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
Is Tigrinya the same as Amharic?
No. Different language, same Ge'ez script plus characters Amharic lacks. A translator who reads only Amharic will get some of it wrong.
My document is Eritrean.
Tell us so. Eritrean and Ethiopian documents come from different offices and carry different papers, and asylum files often turn on the difference.
Do you translate national service documents?
Yes, including exit visas and residence permits, in full with the seals and signature blocks.
