When a death certificate translation is required
A death certificate is an important document that confirms the fact of making the corresponding entry in the official civil register, which is issued by the civil registry bodies. Depending on the country of issue, the document may include a different set of information about the deceased: surname, first name, patronymic, date, place of birth, date, place and cause of death, name of the medical organization or issuing authority. Translation of such certificate may be required for:
- funeral arrangements;
- receiving compensation;
- entering into an inheritance;
- guardianship proceedings;
- applying for a temporary stay or residence permit, citizenship.
Do I need to put an apostille?
Yes. For example, you have decided to bury a deceased relative outside Russia. In this case, it will be necessary not only to perform an official notarized translation into a foreign language, but also to put an apostille on it. In certain countries the requirements for legalization of documents are even more complicated and double apostilization is required - first for the original certificate, then for the translation. The procedure of placing this international stamp can be time-consuming and nerve-wracking. BetterLetter will take this burden upon ourselves – we will prepare the translation ourselves with notarization and apostille, and you will receive a document that complies with all international requirements.
