Proof the English matches

When the office that receives your certificate will not read Greek

You have a marriage certificate issued in Greek. The office that needs to see it does not. A visa officer, a registrar, a university admissions team, or a licensing board has asked for the document in English, and they want proof that the English version says exactly what the Greek original says.

This is the moment where a small problem can become a large one. If the translation is missing a certification statement, or the names do not match the original spelling, or the translator is not someone the receiving office recognizes, the document can be sent back. A returned document can push back a wedding date, delay a residence application, or hold up enrollment. You then start over with less time than you had before.

A certified Greek marriage certificate translation removes that risk. It is a complete English translation of your certificate, signed with a statement that it is accurate and that the translator is competent to translate from Greek into English. That signed statement is what most authorities are actually asking for.

Built to each rule

What each authority asks for, in its own words

Different authorities word the rule differently, so the safest approach is to read what each one states and build the translation to that rule. Here is what the main authorities say.

For people filing in the United States, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) states: "Any document containing foreign language submitted to USCIS shall be accompanied by a full English language translation which the translator has certified as complete and accurate, and by the translator's certification that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English." (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3))

For applications to Canada, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) states: "If your documents are not in English or French, you must send a translation from a certified translator with your application." (IRCC Help Centre - Applying - General)

For documents used in the United Kingdom, UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) says a certified translation must confirm "that it's a 'true and accurate translation of the original document', the date of the translation, their full name and contact details" (GOV.UK 'Certifying a document', 'Certifying a translation' section).

For Australia, Department of Home Affairs (Australia) states: "Translations in Australia must be performed by a translator who is accredited by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI)." (Australian Government document translation policy administered by the Department of Home Affairs)

We translate your Greek marriage certificate to match the rule of the office that will receive it. If you tell us where the document is going, we prepare the certification to fit that authority.

How an expert Greek translator prepares your certified translation

An expert Greek translator who is a native speaker reads your original marriage certificate and produces a full English translation. Every line is translated, including stamps, seals, and signatures, so the English version is a complete record of the Greek document. Names are matched to the spelling on your passport or other identity document when you tell us how they appear, which prevents the name mismatch that causes many rejections.

Each certified translation includes a signed certification statement. The statement confirms that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate from Greek into English. This is the format that USCIS, IRCC, and UK Visas and Immigration describe in the rules quoted above.

Marriage certificates and other personal records have been translated for agencies, universities, attorneys, and private clients. We work across 120+ languages, so if your file later needs a second language, the same process applies.

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Curious about Greek translation from ABC? Read on for how the work is handled, what it costs, how soon it is finished, where it will be honored, your choices around notarization, and the way your completed file is sent to you.

Do I need a certified translation of my Greek marriage certificate for a marriage-based green card?

Yes. If you are submitting your Greek marriage certificate to USCIS for a marriage-based green card, a spousal visa, or another immigration benefit, U.S. authorities require a certified English translation of the foreign-language document.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) states the requirement this way: "Any document containing foreign language submitted to USCIS shall be accompanied by a full English language translation which the translator has certified as complete and accurate, and by the translator's certification that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English." (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3))

Which details on my Greek marriage certificate get translated?

Everything. We translate all information on your Greek marriage certificate ( πιστοποιητικο γαμου ), including both spouse names, the marriage date, the location, the witnesses, and the official registry information. The translation preserves the structure of the original and includes stamps, seals, and signatures so the English version is a complete record.

Can you translate a marriage certificate from a Greek Orthodox church ceremony?

Yes. We translate both civil marriage certificates issued by Greek authorities and religious certificates from Greek Orthodox churches. For immigration filings, the office usually wants the civil registry certificate from the local Ληξιαρχείο translated, so tell us which document you have and where it is going.

Can I translate my own Greek marriage certificate to save money?

For official use, no. Authorities want a translation from someone other than the applicant so the result can be trusted. For medical credentialing, for example, Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) requires that a translation "be prepared by a government official (for example, a Consular Officer), medical school official (for example, a Dean or Registrar), or a professional translation service. ... Additionally, applicants for ECFMG services are not permitted to translate their own documents." (ECFMG 2026 Information Booklet, English Translations section)

A certified translation from a professional service avoids this problem and meets the rules above.

My Greek marriage certificate is going to Australia. Are the rules different there?

Yes. Department of Home Affairs (Australia) states: "Translations in Australia must be performed by a translator who is accredited by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI)." (Australian Government document translation policy administered by the Department of Home Affairs) Let us know your certificate is for use in Australia when you order so we prepare it to that requirement.

Do I also need an apostille on my Greek marriage certificate?

An apostille and a translation are two separate things. An apostille certifies that the original public document is genuine for use in another country. Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) explains the purpose of the Apostille Convention: "The purpose of the Convention is to abolish the traditional requirement of legalisation, replacing the often long and costly legalisation process with the issuance of a single Apostille certificate by a Competent Authority in the place where the document originates." (Hague Apostille Convention (HCCH Convention of 5 October 1961) - Apostille Section)

Whether you need an apostille depends on the country that will receive the document. The certified translation we provide covers the language requirement. The apostille, when required, is issued by the competent authority in Greece, where the certificate was issued.

How much does a certified Greek marriage certificate translation cost and how fast is it?

Pricing starts at $24.10 per page. Standard delivery is 48 hours for a typical one-page marriage certificate, and you see the price before you place the order.
