What Makes Tigrinya Document Translation Different
Tigrinya document translation has its own considerations, so here's how we handle it:
- Documents from Eritrea or Ethiopia
- Tigrinya is Eritrea's official language and is also spoken in Ethiopia's Tigray region, each with its own civil documents and issuing authorities; tell us your document's country of origin and we translate it accordingly.
- Tigrinya name spelling and transliteration
- Tigrinya uses the Ge'ez (Ethiopic) script with no single, universally used system for converting names into English letters; the same name can appear spelled differently across documents. We keep your name spelling consistent with your passport or prior USCIS filings.
- Naming conventions
- Many Tigrinya speakers use a given name plus their father's given name rather than a fixed family surname; we translate your name accurately as it appears on your document.
- Sending a document outside the U.S. instead?
- if your document needs to go to a court, notary, or government office abroad, the requirement for official use there is different, distinct from the U.S. Certificate of Accuracy we provide. Confirm with the receiving office.
What that means for your document
Documents in this community come from two different countries with their own civil systems, and Tigrinya name spelling varies without one standard romanization system; an unfamiliar translator can easily mismatch either one.
Documents We Most Commonly Translate From Tigrinya
These are the documents we translate from Tigrinya most often:
- Birth Certificate Translation — Covers birth records issued in Eritrea or Ethiopia's Tigray region, in whatever format your document was issued.

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 Tigrinya translation.
How long does a certified Tigrinya translation take?
Most are completed within 24–48 hours. Expedited and same-day delivery are available when a deadline is close.
Will USCIS accept my certified Tigrinya translation?
Yes. We provide a signed Certificate of Accuracy with every translation, the standard format USCIS and most U.S. agencies require for Tigrinya-language documents.
Is Tigrinya the same as Amharic?
No. Tigrinya and Amharic are related but distinct languages, and speakers of one generally cannot understand the other despite both using the Ge'ez (Ethiopic) script. Tigrinya is Eritrea's official language and is also spoken in Ethiopia's Tigray region. Tell us which language your document is in so we assign the right translator.
Do you handle inconsistent Tigrinya name romanization?
Yes. Since there's no single romanization system everyone uses, the same name can appear spelled differently across documents. We keep your name spelling consistent with your passport or prior USCIS filings.
My document is from Eritrea. Can you translate it?
Yes. We regularly translate Eritrean civil and academic documents, along with documents from Ethiopia's Tigray region.
My document is from Ethiopia's Tigray region, not Eritrea. Does that matter?
Tell us your document's country of origin so we use the correct document type and issuing-authority terminology; the translation itself is handled the same reliable way either way.
My name doesn't have a family surname the way U.S. forms expect. What should I do?
Many Tigrinya speakers use a given name plus the father's given name, not a fixed surname. We translate your name exactly as it appears on your document; how a form's surname field should be completed is a question for the receiving agency.
What documents do you most commonly translate from Tigrinya?
Birth records, marriage certificates, and academic records are the most common, but we translate any personal, legal, or business document from Tigrinya.
