Personal documents.
Certified translation of civil-status records and personal documents for administrative and official procedures at home and abroad, directly from a permanent sworn court interpreter.
Marriage, residence and citizenship.
A certified translation of personal records is required for marriage abroad, registration of residence and work, citizenship procedures, pension and social-security procedures, and before registry offices, embassies and other authorities.
Civil-status and personal records.
We translate and certify personal documents with a faithful rendering of the names, dates and data from the original.
Apostille, languages and deadline.
We do not obtain Apostilles and do not determine the order of certifications; please check what is required, and in what order, with the institution receiving the document. The full procedure is described on the certified translations page.
One person, one spelling.
In civil-status procedures the smallest detail carries the most weight: a surname with a diacritic, a transliterated first name, a maiden name recorded differently across two registries.
The certified translation reproduces names and dates exactly as the original states them, because the receiving authority matches your documents letter by letter against your passport and each other.
If a name appears in different forms in your paperwork (for instance in documents issued in a country using another script), tell us before the translation is prepared and state the spelling used in your passport.
The interpreter can then apply that form consistently, and note the variant where the original demands it, which prevents queries at the counter.
