Marriage abroad certified translation services
A marriage certificate from overseas needs a certified translation before a U.S. or foreign registry will honor it. ABC delivers that translation at $24.10 per page in 48 hours, guaranteed accepted.
Why marrying abroad means certified translation
You picked the date and the place. Then the local registry hands you a list, and most of it is paperwork that has to be in their language before they will let you marry. A birth certificate, a passport, a divorce decree, a certificate of no impediment. Miss one translation requirement and the ceremony you planned can slip.
That is the part couples do not see coming. To register a marriage and issue certificates, civil registries, embassies, and consulates often need word-for-word certified translations, sometimes with apostille or consular legalization for international authentication. A small formatting problem can mean a postponed wedding.
This is exactly what marriage abroad certified translation services are for. ABC Translations prepares each translation to meet those civil and consular rules. Every page is prepared by professional translators in 120+ languages and carries the signed accuracy-and-competence statement reviewers expect.

Why does a foreign registry need certified translations?
Marriage registration offices usually need word-for-word certified translations before they can legally record the marriage and issue certificates. The signed certification statement is what lets them rely on the translated documents.
Do I also need an apostille or legalization?
Often, yes. Apostille or consular legalization may be required to authenticate your documents internationally, in addition to the certified translation. Requirements depend on the country where you are marrying.

Our translators read various document formats and translate all visible text accurately, so your certified translation is complete and acceptable to the registry.
What if my documents have handwritten text?
We regularly translate vital records with handwritten entries, which is common with older certificates. Our translators read various handwriting styles and accurately interpret and translate handwritten text, official stamps, and marginal notes, so your certified translation is complete.
How much does marriage document translation cost?
Certified translation for marrying abroad is $24.10 per page, which includes the complete translation and the signed certification statement. Expedited service and hard copies with original signatures are available for additional fees.
