Certified Marriage Certificate Translation Services for Visa Applications
When applying for a visa, submitting accurate and properly translated documents, such as marriage certificates, is crucial. Even minor errors can lead to significant delays or rejections from authorities like USCIS. At Taika Translations, we specialize in certified translations to ensure your documents are accepted without issues.
What is a Certified Marriage Certificate Translation?
A certified marriage certificate translation is a translation accompanied by a signed certification attesting to its accuracy and completeness. USCIS and other immigration agencies require certified translations to validate foreign documents like marriage certificates, which demonstrate marital status, necessary for your visa application.
Why Do You Need a Certified Translation for Your Marriage Certificate?
Certified translations provide a guarantee that the content has been accurately and impartially translated. This is particularly important for visa applications, where immigration officers rely heavily on documentation authenticity.
Common Mistakes in Marriage Certificate Translations
Many applicants face issues because of mistakes in their translated marriage certificates. Here are common pitfalls to avoid:
Missing Signatures or Official Seals
If the original marriage certificate includes signatures or seals, the translated document must accurately mirror these elements. Missing signatures or seals will result in rejection or delays.
Incorrect Formatting
The format of your translated document must reflect the original exactly. Immigration officers compare both versions meticulously, and any discrepancy can lead to delays.
Translations by Unqualified Individuals
Translations provided by friends or family members are usually unacceptable by USCIS. Always opt for translations provided by professional, certified linguists.
