The translation matched our birth certificate exactly, and it was accepted by USCIS on the first try. Turnaround was faster than I expected.

Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions.
The questions people ask before ordering a death certificate translation.
How long does a certified death certificate translation take?
Most certified death certificate translations are completed within 24–48 hours. Rush and same-day delivery are available for an additional fee when you're working against a deadline.
Will my translated death certificate be accepted by USCIS or the Social Security Administration?
Yes. Every translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy that meets USCIS requirements under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) and is accepted by the Social Security Administration, courts, and most government offices. If it's ever rejected on accuracy grounds, we'll correct it at no additional cost.
Do I need a notarized translation or just a certified translation of a death certificate?
Most government agencies, including USCIS and the SSA, only require a certified translation, not a notarized one. Some courts, probate offices, insurance companies, or foreign consulates do require notarization. We can help you confirm which one your situation needs before you order.
Who can certify a death certificate translation?
A professional translator completes the translation and signs a Certificate of Accuracy attesting that it is a complete and accurate rendering of the original document. This certification is accepted by USCIS, courts, insurers, and most government offices.
Can you translate a death certificate from any language?
Yes. We work with over 100 languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Mandarin, Vietnamese, French, Russian, and Hindi. Every translation is completed by a native speaker familiar with vital-record and legal terminology.
What information is included in a certified death certificate translation?
The translation preserves every detail from the original record, including names, dates, cause of death, place of death, registrar information, seals, and signatures, formatted to mirror the layout of the source document.
Do you translate death certificates for probate, inheritance, or insurance claims?
Yes. We regularly translate death certificates for probate court filings, estate and inheritance proceedings, life insurance claims, pension and survivor benefit applications, and immigration cases.
How much does a death certificate translation cost?
Standard certified translation is $18 per page. Expedited (rush) translation is $28 per page. Notarization is available as an add-on for $9 per document.
