Certified death certificate translation services
Settling an estate or claiming a benefit is hard enough without a document an agency rejects. We translate your death certificate word for word and certify it at $24.10 per page, returned within 48 hours and guaranteed to clear.
When a death certificate gets rejected, the grief gets longer
You are settling a parent's estate, claiming a life insurance payout, or proving a death to an immigration officer, and the form is in a language the agency will not read. You are already grieving. The last thing you need is a letter that says your document was not accepted.
A death certificate may be needed for probate, immigration, insurance, pensions, inheritance, consular death registration, or another already difficult step. Because real money and legal rights ride on them, agencies will not take a foreign-language certificate at face value. They require an accurate translation with a signed certification. A loose or uncertified version comes back rejected, and the delay can stall a claim or freeze a benefit for weeks.
Most rejections are not about your loss. They are about format: a missing certification statement, a name that does not match, or a translation that paraphrases instead of mirroring the original. Those are fixable before you ever submit.
A certified translation built to be accepted the first time
This is exactly what certified death certificate translation services are for. ABC Translations gives you a word-for-word translation that keeps the original layout and carries a signed certification statement confirming accuracy. Native-speaking professional translators handle every certificate, so the names, dates, and official seals read exactly as they should to the office reviewing them.
You know the cost before checkout: $24.10 per page, revisions included, with rush service available. Most orders are delivered within 48 hours. Reviewer pushback does not leave you stranded; translations for USCIS, courts, consulates, and international agencies carry our 100% acceptance guarantee.
Across immigration, legal, and insurance matters, that promise is built on 25 years of certified translation work and a track record with more than 255,000 customers.

I purchased a translation on Friday and expected a 24-hour turnaround but also ordered a notary not knowing it wasn't part of the estimated time. Unsurprisingly I needed it immediately. I emailed support and within a few hours, it was completely signed and notarized! Hats off to y'all!
Amazing service! My translation was done in 2 hours. All done on time, the right way, and the price was very good! Highly recommend.
I reached out to them last Friday for an emergency translation. They got back within the hour. ETA was 24 hours. Since it was a Friday, I expected Monday, but it was completed on Saturday. Accurate and on time, great job!

Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers to the questions people most often ask about working with us. See how the workflow runs, what it costs, how long it takes, where documents are accepted, which notarization choices exist, and the way finished files reach you.
Will the probate court and USCIS accept a certified translation of a foreign death certificate?
Yes. Probate courts, banks, insurers, and government agencies require a certified translation of a foreign death certificate to verify an estate claim. Each of ours is word for word, keeps the original layout, and carries a signed certification statement.
If USCIS, a court, a consulate, or another agency requests a correction, our acceptance guarantee includes free unlimited revisions.
Why can't I just translate my relative's death certificate myself?
Financial institutions and courts require a translation from an independent third party who can certify accuracy. Even if you are fluent in both languages, you cannot certify your own translation, because you have a personal interest in the estate.
A neutral professional translator removes that conflict, which is exactly what lets the document be accepted.
What parts of the death certificate get translated?
Every element: the deceased's name, the date and place of death, the cause of death, the issuing authority, registration numbers, and all official stamps and seals. That completeness is what lets a bank or court confirm the certificate is genuine.
Nothing on the page is skipped, because any gap can give a reviewer a reason to pause your claim.
Can you translate the medical cause-of-death language correctly?
Yes. Death certificates often carry medical terms describing the cause of death, and our translators render that language accurately so insurers and legal authorities understand the circumstances exactly as the original records them.
Precise medical wording matters most where an insurance payout or a legal determination depends on it.
Do I need separate copies for the bank, the insurer, and the court?
Most institutions accept a digital copy, and we deliver a print-ready PDF you can submit to several agencies at once, banks, insurers, and courts, without ordering extras.
If you need additional certified copies later, we keep your translation on file.
How fast can I get the death certificate translated, and what will it cost?
Death certificates are typically a single page, so the cost is $24.10, including the translation, the certification statement, and digital delivery. There are no setup fees and no hidden charges during an already expensive time.
Most orders are delivered within 48 hours, fast enough for insurance claim deadlines and court filings, with an expedited add-on if your deadline is sooner.
