When USCIS asks for it
In the I-130 family petition, I-485 adjustment of status and N-400 naturalization whenever a prior marriage exists — for the applicant OR the beneficiary. The translation reproduces the complete document: court headers, judge's ruling, stamps, signatures and registry annotations. A missing divorce document is one of the most common RFE (Request for Evidence) causes in marriage cases.
Frequently asked questions
Does USCIS require the divorce decree translated?
Yes — if either spouse had a prior marriage, USCIS requires the divorce document translated into English with a signed certification. Filing without it commonly triggers an RFE.
Decree or divorce certificate — which one do I translate?
Either works as proof the marriage legally ended. The certificate is shorter (cheaper to translate); the decree is the full judgment. If USCIS asked for something specific in an RFE, send us the notice and we will tell you.
How much does it cost?
$15.99 per page on regular service. A divorce certificate is usually 1-2 pages; a full decree varies. Express 24-48h $24.00, Urgent same-day $29.00.
Does it include the court stamps and signatures?
Yes — word-for-word translation including court headers, stamps, seals, the judge's signature and marginal annotations, as USCIS requires.
Does it need notarization?
Not for USCIS — the included certification letter is sufficient. Notarization is available if another institution asks for it.
