Starting at $10 per page. Final pricing is confirmed after file review.
Connecting former and current names
The wording linking an earlier name to a new name is central to the record. Both spellings, including accents and multiple surnames, are preserved in their respective roles. The translation does not replace all former names with the current name.
Court order or civil record
A name change may be documented in a court order or a registry certificate. Its authority, case number and entry references are translated as printed. These records should not be relabeled as one another.
Dates and scope of the change
The application, decision, registration and issuance may occur on different dates. A correction to a single letter can also differ from an adopted surname. The translated text follows the exact change described in the source.
Consistency with identity records
A passport, birth record or marriage certificate may help establish spelling references across a translated set. Supply the documents requested by the recipient. Any mismatch is identified for review, not silently reconciled by changing the source content.
