Certified translation for US marriage license applications
Certified translation for US marriage license applications is $19 a page, delivered within 24 hours. Most county clerks ask that foreign documents come with a certified English translation before they issue the license.
What county clerks usually ask for
Identification and proof of age, which for Brazilians can mean the birth certificate translated, plus proof that any prior marriage ended. Requirements genuinely vary by county, and a two-minute call ahead saves a second trip; when they want a translation, this is the format they mean.
Divorced in Brazil?
The clerk wants the end of the prior marriage in black and white: the certidão with the divorce averbação, the sentença, or the escritura, translated in full with the exact dates.
After the wedding
If the marriage starts an immigration case, the same documents return in the green card filing. Translations we deliver keep serving as long as the originals stay unchanged.
Your translation is handled and signed personally by Ivy, a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, and it comes with the signed Certificate of Accuracy USCIS requires under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3).
Common questions
Does every county require certified translations?
No, it is not universal, which is why the call ahead is worth it. Counties that do require one expect exactly this: a complete translation with a signed certification.
