Who issues Polish civil documents

Knowing the issuing body matters: it tells us which layout to expect and which registry references must survive into English untouched.

Polish document terms and how we render them

Terms that must be transcribed rather than translated are marked — inventing an English equivalent for a registry code is a classic cause of RFEs.

PolishEnglishHandling
Odpis skróconyAbridged copy of the register entryTranslated — labeled, because it omits annotations
Odpis zupełnyFull copy of the register entryTranslated in full including all annotations
Wzmianka dodatkowaAdditional annotationAlways translated — records later marriages, divorces and corrections
PESELNational identification numberTranscribed exactly — an identifier
Zaświadczenie o niekaralnościCertificate of no criminal recordTranslated; the 'nie figuruje' wording rendered literally
Świadectwo dojrzałościSecondary school leaving certificate (matura)Translated; grades kept on the Polish scale with a gloss

Where Polish translations usually go wrong

Frequently asked questions

Do you handle old Soviet-era or pre-war Polish documents?
Yes. Older records may be handwritten and use historical place names and administrative units. Those are translated as printed, with a bracketed note where a place or body has since been renamed — not silently modernised. Handwritten records route to manual review rather than being guessed at.
My surname appears in three different forms across my documents.
That is normal Polish grammar, not an error in your papers. Each document is translated exactly as issued and the difference is annotated, so an officer comparing them sees why the endings differ instead of suspecting a mismatch.
Is this translation accepted by USCIS?
Yes. USCIS requires a complete English translation together with a certification that the translator is competent and the translation is accurate (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)). Every order includes that signed certification on company letterhead, with an order number that can be independently verified on our verification page. If USCIS ever rejects a translation we prepared, we revise it free of charge or refund you in full.
Who translates my document, and who is accountable for it?
Translations are produced through RENDUN LIMITED's translation process, which combines translation technology with multi-step verification: names, dates and numbers get an independent second reading. Documents the system flags as handwritten, damaged or complex are reviewed by a person before delivery. Every certificate is signed by the company's authorised representative, who takes responsibility for the translation, and carries our postal address, telephone number, email address and a public verification link. USCIS specifies what a certification must contain, not who performs the translation; ours contains every required element. If USCIS rejects a translation, we refund it.
How can an officer or employer verify that this translation is genuine?
Three ways, none of which need an account. 1) The order number on the certificate can be entered at certmytranslation.com/verify, which confirms the order was issued by us, the date, the language pair and the document type — never names or contents. 2) The certification page carries a Document ID computed from the translation itself; the verification page shows the same ID, so a certificate whose text has been altered will not match. 3) The verification page shows the SHA-256 fingerprint of the exact PDF we issued and lets anyone check a PDF file against it in the browser without uploading it. The certificate also carries our telephone number and email for direct enquiries.
Do I need a notarized translation?
Not for USCIS. USCIS removed the notarization requirement decades ago — a certified translation is exactly what the instructions ask for. Some DMVs, courts and apostille processes do want notarization; if that is your situation, contact us and we will point you to a suitable notarized-translation provider.
How fast will I get my translation?
Typical orders are delivered in under 10 minutes. Handwritten, damaged or low-resolution documents are routed to manual review and delivered within 24 hours — you'll see the status on your order page.
What does it cost?
$19.95 per page, flat. No subscriptions, no accounts, no upsells. You pay with PayPal or card and download a finished PDF: translation, signed certification page, and a copy of your original.
Is my document safe?
Files are encrypted in transit and never used to train AI models. We keep your uploads and finished translations securely on file so you can request a copy or a correction whenever you need one. Prefer deletion? Email us any time and everything is removed within 48 hours.
What if something in my document is unreadable?
Industry practice (and USCIS expectation) is to mark unreadable text as [Illegible] rather than guess. Our multi-step verification compares two independent AI readings plus your own confirmation of names and dates, so nothing is silently invented.

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.
