Every country records a death differently, and the cause-of-death section carries clinical terminology that must be rendered precisely. Here’s the most common gotcha for each top source.
Issued by the Urząd Stanu Cywilnego. Since Brexit the EU multilingual annex is no longer accepted, so a full certified translation is required. We preserve the akt number and the registrar’s details.
Issued by the Registro Civil, recording the causa de la muerte from the certificado médico. We preserve the CURP and folio numbers exactly; a certified translation is sufficient for the Probate Registry.
The hospital- or CDC-issued medical certificate of death, sometimes with a 死亡公证书 (notarial death certificate). We translate both, preserving every stamp and the cause-of-death coding.
Issued by the Starea Civilă. The EU multilingual extract is no longer accepted since 1 January 2021; we provide the full certified translation, preserving the cause of death and registration.
Issued under the RBD Act by the Municipal Corporation or Registrar. Regional-language certificates need translation; we preserve the registration number and issuing authority.
A single-page ZAGS certificate with a serial number; the deceased’s patronymic is preserved in transliteration. Ukrainian and other CIS certificates follow the same structure.
We translate death certificates both into English and from English into any target language. Whether the certificate is in Polish, Romanian, Arabic, Urdu, Chinese or any other language, every order follows the same quality-controlled, confidential process. You upload, we translate, certify and deliver – ready for the Probate Registry, the DWP or a bank.
