The attestation de naissance is issued by a commune or mayor’s office in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, signed by the Officier de l’État Civil. It is a declaration by that officer, and its structure follows Congolese administrative geography. The fields below are from an attestation we have translated, issued by an eastern DRC commune.
Every example on this page is invented. The reference numbers, dates, names and grades shown below are made up to illustrate the format — they are not from anyone’s document. We never publish, share or reuse a customer’s file: uploads are used only to produce your translation, are not used to train anything, and are deleted whenever you ask. What we learn from doing this work is how these documents are structured — never what is written on yours.
| Field on your document | What it is / how we handle it |
|---|---|
| Issuing authority | Province, city or territory, and the commune/mayor’s office — printed as a heading block. All three levels are kept. |
| Officier de l’État Civil | The civil-status officer, often the mayor, who signs the attestation in the first person (“I, the undersigned … hereby attest”). |
| Nom complet | Full name of the person concerned, usually surname first in DRC practice. We keep the printed order and label it. |
| Fils / fille de … et de … | Father and mother, named separately. |
| Originaire du village de | Village of origin — ancestral, not necessarily where the person lives. |
| Chefferie (ou secteur) de | Chiefdom or sector — a customary administrative unit below territory level. Often blank in urban cases. |
| Territoire / District / Province | The three higher administrative levels. Territory and district have no direct US equivalent and are kept as-is. |
| Nationalité | Nationality, e.g. Congolese. |
| Résidence / Avenue / N° / Quartier | Current residence broken into avenue, number and quartier (neighbourhood) — the standard Congolese urban address format. |
| Photograph with overlapping stamp | A pasted photograph, typically with a round ink stamp running across its edge onto the paper. Described in brackets, including what the stamp reads. |
| Signature and dry stamp | The officer’s signature and the office seal, both noted. |

A word-for-word certified translation on company letterhead plus a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy — the package USCIS expects. Most orders are ready in as little as 35 minutes; the industry standard is 24 hours. Every order carries a public verification link an officer can check in seconds.

Sample shown with fictional data. Every translation is checked field-by-field against your original before release; flagged documents are held back, not auto-delivered. Anyone can confirm authenticity at certmytranslation.com/verify.
*Low-resource languages are routed to manual review automatically. Handwritten or damaged historical documents may also be routed to a human reviewer (delivered within 24 hours) — you will see this before you pay, nothing extra.
How certification works. Every order includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy on company letterhead that meets the USCIS requirement (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)) for a complete English translation with a translator certification. Each certificate carries an order number you can verify at any time at certmytranslation.com/verify. USCIS does not require notarization for supporting documents — see our USCIS guide.
