When dealing with immigration, legal matters, or estate settlements, submitting a foreign death certificate in English is often required. If your death certificate is in a language other than English, such as Spanish, Chinese, Italian, or any other, you must provide a certified English translation that meets U.S. government standards.
At USCIS Traductors, we specialize in professional, USCIS-certified translations of foreign death certificates, ensuring your documents are accepted without delays or complications.
Why Do You Need to Translate a Foreign Death Certificate?
U.S. government agencies like USCIS require that all foreign-language documents submitted for immigration, legal, or official purposes be accompanied by a certified translation into English. This includes death certificates.
A death certificate translation is often needed for:
- Immigration applications (such as family petitions or inheritance issues)
- Probate and estate administration
- Social Security claims or benefits
- Legal name changes or citizenship processes
Without a certified translation, your application may be delayed or rejected.
What Makes a Translation Certified?
A certified translation is more than just a literal word-for-word conversion. To be USCIS-compliant and legally valid, the translation must:
- Be complete and accurate, capturing all details including stamps, signatures, and handwritten notes.
- Include a signed certification statement from the translator or translation agency, affirming the translation’s accuracy and completeness.
- Be performed by a professional translator who is fluent in both the source language and English.
Self-translations or informal translations from friends or family members are not accepted by USCIS or most U.S. authorities.
