Adoption record translation details
Adoption records can include court orders, adoption certificates, civil registry updates, amended records, and related certifications. Depending on the jurisdiction, they may show the child’s name, former and current names, adoptive and biological parent details, court or registry references, case numbers, adoption or effective dates, legal relationship wording, signatures, stamps, seals, and certification text. We translate the complete readable record while keeping names, dates, case references, and official labels consistent throughout the translation.
If you already use a particular English spelling of a name on a passport, immigration record, or other official document, provide it with your order as a reference.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does adoption record translation cost?
Certified translation starts at $25 per billable page, with up to 250 words per billable page. Your total is shown before payment.
Does my translation include certification?
Yes. Certified translation orders include a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy with the completed translation.
Do I need to translate the entire adoption order or certificate?
When a complete translation is required, submit every page of the adoption order, certificate, decree, or registry record, including attachments, certification pages, stamps, seals, signatures, annotations, and readable reverse-side text that form part of the record.
Is an adoption order the same as an adoption certificate?
Not necessarily. A court adoption order, adoption certificate, amended birth record, and civil registry update can be separate documents with different information. Use the exact record requested by the receiving organization.
Should I include related name-change or amended birth records?
Include them when they form part of the requested submission or help document the same adoption event. Keep each source document clearly identified so its translation can be matched correctly.
Can you follow the established English spellings of the child’s and parents’ names?
Yes. Provide passport or other official-record spellings when available. We use them as references for consistency while keeping the translation faithful to the source record.
Should I upload both sides of my document?
Yes, when the reverse contains text, stamps, registration information, endorsements, or other content that forms part of the document.
What if a name has more than one English spelling?
Provide the spelling used on a passport or other official record when available. We can use it as a reference while keeping the translation faithful to the source document.
Do I need notarization?
Not necessarily. Add notarization only when the receiving organization specifically requires the certification signature to be notarized.
Can I add an apostille?
Apostille service is available as an add-on for eligible certified translation orders. If the original source document itself also needs an apostille, that is a separate process.
How will I receive my translation?
Completed translations are delivered securely as digital PDF files. Physical delivery is available for eligible certified orders when selected.
What if I am not sure which service I need?
Send us the document and the receiving organization’s instructions. Request a quote and we can review the translation service and add-ons to consider.
