Built for Spanish documents

Who issues Spanish civil documents

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

Issuing authorityWhereWhat it issues
Registro CivilMexicoActas de nacimiento, matrimonio, defunción — the modern format carries CURP and an electronic verification code
RENAPGuatemalaCertificaciones de nacimiento with the CUI personal identifier
Registraduría Nacional del Estado CivilColombiaRegistro civil de nacimiento, cédula de ciudadanía
Registro Civil (Ministerio de Justicia)SpainCertificación literal (full transcript) and extracto (summary) versions
Registro Nacional de las Personas NaturalesHonduras, El SalvadorCivil registry certificates, often with regional formatting

Spanish 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.

SpanishEnglishHandling
Acta de nacimientoBirth certificateTranslated
Certificación literalFull literal transcriptTranslated — note it differs from an extracto
CURP / CUI / CédulaPopulation registry codeTranscribed exactly — never converted
Apellido paterno / maternoPaternal / maternal surnameBoth kept; dropping the second surname breaks name matching
Libro, foja, actaBook, page, entryNumbers transcribed exactly as printed
Oficialía / Juzgado del Registro CivilCivil registry officeTranslated, office number transcribed
Fe de erratasCorrection of errorsTranslated and kept — it explains discrepancies against your other filings

Where Spanish translations usually go wrong

Frequently asked questions

Do you translate Mexican birth certificates?
Yes — they are our single most common document. See the dedicated Mexican birth certificate page for details on modern actas, CURP codes and older handwritten registry books.
My document is from Puerto Rico — do I need a translation?
Puerto Rican documents are US documents, but if issued in Spanish, USCIS still requires a certified English translation. Same service, same price.
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.
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, are never used to train AI models, and are automatically deleted from our servers 30 days after delivery. You can request earlier deletion at any time.
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.
