What is a Marriage Certificate Translation?

A marriage certificate is also known as a marriage license, wedding certificate, wedding license, or certificate of matrimony. Many different organizations, such as USCIS, require translated marriage certificates. At CIT, we translate marriage certificates, licenses, and decrees in hundreds of languages, as we have become well-known experts in marriage certificate translations.

When Do You Need a Translated Marriage Certificate?

A marriage certificate is the legal confirmation of the relationship between two individuals. Marriage is an institution protected by the law and therefore a marriage certificate, which serves as proof of marital status, often determines whether you are entitled to certain benefits or not. This is necessary for a number of situations, including but not limited to:

  • Divorce applications – When applying for a divorce, you need to show evidence of your marriage
  • Marriage or spouse visa – When moving to a country where your partner has full citizenship you are required to provide evidence of your marriage
  • New marriage – Some countries may ask you to submit the marriage certificate from your previous marriage when registering for a new marriage
  • Surname change – If you’re renewing official government documentation, like a passport or driver’s license with a new surname, you’ll need to show why it’s changed
  • New passport application – You may need to submit a marriage certificate when applying for a new passport or applying for citizenshi

Marriage Certificates and Immigration

Translated marriage certificates are a prerequisite for a permanent resident visa in the USA (a green card). Certified translations of legal documents, such as marriage or birth certificates are an essential part of the marriage-based green card process. Immigration services and other U.S. authorities require official and certified translations of such documents. Your application for a permanent resident visa could be easily declined if your marriage or birth certificates aren’t translated accurately or don’t resemble the original ones. At CIT we provide certified translations with an authorized signature, corporate seal, and certification by the translator.

Can a Notary Translate Your Marriage Certificate?

No. A notary public cannot translate your marriage certificate. Such a translation would not be accepted by USCIS.

CIT Guarantees Acceptance by Immigration Authorities
