Certified Translation for Citizenship by Descent and Naturalization Abroad
Applying for citizenship in another country — whether by descent (Italy, Ireland, Portugal, Germany, Poland) or through naturalization — requires official document translations accepted by foreign civil registries, consulates, and government ministries. Official Translations provides certified translations in 100+ languages, including translations from English into the target country's language. Our translators are certified and familiar with the formatting requirements of European, Latin American, and other civil registry systems. Start your citizenship translation order.
Citizenship by descent applications typically require translated birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates of ancestors, naturalization records, and police clearances. For U.S. applicants also dealing with domestic filings, our vital records translation page covers standard civil documents. If you are managing parallel U.S. immigration processes, see our USCIS translation and green card translation pages as well.
Many countries require notarized or apostilled translations in addition to certified translations. We provide both options. Some civil registries also require translations to be performed by a sworn translator in that country — we work with a global network of certified translators to meet country-specific requirements.
