A death certificate may be required for immigration, probate, inheritance, insurance, pension, banking, property, citizenship, or other official procedures. When the original document is written in a language that the receiving authority does not accept, a complete and accurate translation may be required.
MJC Translate provides professional death certificate translations from 90+ source languages for USCIS, courts, government agencies, attorneys, financial institutions, consulates, and other organizations. Our certified translations include a Certificate of Translation Accuracy.

Death Certificate Translation for USCIS
Foreign-language documents submitted to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) generally require a complete English translation accompanied by the appropriate translator certification.
A certified translation should include:
✓ A complete English translation
✓ Certification that the translation is complete and accurate
✓ Certification of the translator's competence
✓ Translator identification and signature
✓ Date and applicable contact information
USCIS generally does not require notarization simply because a translation is certified.
If another authority involved in your case requires notarization, that is a separate requirement and can be arranged when applicable.
What Is Included in a Death Certificate Translation?
Death certificates can vary considerably from one country or jurisdiction to another.
Every meaningful element matters.
A death certificate may contain information that appears secondary but can be important to the authority reviewing the document.
For that reason, we recommend submitting the complete document, including pages containing stamps, annotations, or additional information.
A professional translation may include:
