A certified death-certificate translation — one less thing to worry about
Settling a loved one’s affairs across two countries means courts, insurers and agencies all asking for the same document in English. EKO 4 delivers a certified death-certificate translation that every U.S. authority accepts: complete and word for word, translated by a sworn human translator, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on official letterhead and our wet stamp — backed by our 100% acceptance guarantee.
Death certificates carry precise legal and medical language — causes of death, registrar codes, civil-registry annotations — where a single wrong term can stall a probate case or an insurance claim. Each certificate is translated by an accredited linguist, checked against medical terminology, and reviewed by a native-speaking proofreader before certification. Since 1991 we strive to be the most affordable, the most accurate, providing the best quality of service — with express 24-hour delivery when time matters.
What U.S. authorities require from a death-certificate translation
USCIS (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)), probate courts and insurers all expect the same core package — every certified translation we deliver meets it:
- A complete, word-for-word English translation — names, dates, the cause of death, registrar annotations, stamps and seals — everything on the certificate is translated, nothing summarized.
- The translator’s signed certification — a statement that the translator is competent in both languages and that the translation is accurate and complete, with name, signature, address and date.
- An independent, professional translator — family members cannot translate the certificate for official use — the translator must be an impartial third party.
- A legible copy of the original attached — the translation is submitted together with a copy of the certificate — your original stays safely with you.
- Notarization only when the receiver asks — USCIS does not require it, but probate courts and many insurers do — we add notarization in the same order, ready the next business day.
