What is a Marriage Certificate Translation?
In this day and age, you might think that a marriage certificate is less important than it was in the past, as there are so many different ways in which a couple can legally be partners without actually being married. However, a marriage certificate is a legal document that is still of immense importance in all countries around the world. Whenever a marriage certificate is required in a different country from the one in which it was issued, there is the possibility that a marriage certificate translation may be required.
An official translation of a marriage certificate may be required for an immigration application, to establish a case for alimony or spousal support, to determine distribution of marital assets on divorce, to support an application for a married person’s benefit, or to determine pension eligibility and entitlement to social housing, to mention just a few of the more common reasons.
What is Involved in a Marriage Certificate Translation?
Marriage certificates contain a lot of detailed information in a relatively compact document. A marriage certificate, for instance, typically contains:
- the names of the two people getting married;
- their mother’s’ and father’s’ names;
- where the marriage took place;
- when the marriage took place.
Every country has its own style of marriage certificate, so there may very well be differences in the content of the marriage certificate. Some certificates may contain more information than others.
Regardless of the content of the marriage certificate, a foreign marriage certificate translation must faithfully translate all parts of the certificate as accurately as possible, including names, addresses, times and dates if present. Any little thing that has been left out might just be the one item of information that the authorities are looking for.
