Why a Foreign Death Certificate
Needs Certified Translation
Several U.S. institutions require a foreign death certificate: USCIS, probate courts, insurance companies, the Social Security Administration, and financial institutions. Each one requires a complete English translation plus a signed Certificate of Accuracy from a qualified translator. A machine translation, an informal rendering, or an uncertified version will be rejected.
MEJPBS provides certified death certificate translations. They're accepted by USCIS, New York Surrogate's Court, probate courts nationwide, major life insurance carriers, pension administrators, and government benefit agencies. Every translation is formatted to match the receiving institution's requirements and includes the complete Certificate of Accuracy.

Death Certificate Translation FAQ
Yes. USCIS requires a complete English translation with a signed Certificate of Accuracy for every foreign-language document submitted with an immigration filing, including death certificates. Death certificates come up most often in widowed spouse petitions (Form I-360), applications that reference a deceased family member or petitioner, and survivor-based preference filings. An uncertified translation will be rejected.
MEJPBS death certificate translations start at $30 per page. Most foreign death certificates are one to two pages, so the typical cost is from $50. Rush service and rare language requests may be priced differently. Call 212-426-6017 or email info@mejpbs.com for a free, no-obligation quote within 2 hours.
Yes. Life insurance carriers, pension administrators, and probate courts — including New York Surrogate's Court — all require a certified English translation of any foreign-language death certificate. They need it before they'll process a claim or admit the document into proceedings. An informal translation, or one done by a bilingual family member, won't be accepted. MEJPBS translations are formatted to meet these institutions' requirements.
A clear, high-quality scan or photo of the death certificate is enough for translation. We don't need the original. Email your scan to info@mejpbs.com and we'll start right away. The completed certified translation can be delivered digitally, or printed and shipped to any U.S. address.
Standard turnaround is 48 hours from receipt of the document. Same-day rush translation is available for urgent probate hearings, insurance deadlines, or USCIS filing dates. Call 212-426-6017 immediately for rush requests — availability is confirmed at the time of your call.
