Certified Korean death certificate translation for legal and immigration

Accuracy matters when a translated death certificate is used for legal purposes. Our team assigns Korean specialists experienced with vital records, ensuring consistent name romanization, correct date formats, and faithful reproduction of official stamps and registry details. Every project includes a certificate of accuracy and comes ready for submission to USCIS, U.S. courts, banks, and insurers.

Certified translations are delivered as a PDF with a signed translator’s statement, on letterhead, formatted to match the original. If a notarized translator’s signature or a hard copy is required by a specific authority, we can provide notarization and ship printed copies upon request. Guidance on requirements is included to help you meet jurisdiction-specific rules.

Standard turnaround is 24 hours for most single-page certificates, with rush options available the same day for time-sensitive filings and travel plans. Pricing is straightforward: $32.90 per page for certified translations, or $0.06 per word for non-certified document translation. Secure ordering and encrypted file handling protect sensitive personal information.

For broader documentation needs, explore our certified translation services and our category page for death certificate translations. If travel or repatriation matters require additional ID, we also offer passport translation with the same high standards.

USCIS acceptance requires a signed certification attesting to completeness and accuracy. Our translations meet these standards and follow current USCIS guidelines, helping ensure the death certificate can be used in immigration filings, status updates, and related petitions. The same certified format is widely accepted by U.S. courts, financial institutions, and insurers.

When settling an estate, probate courts often expect precise alignment between the original Korean record and the English translation. We mirror layout, capture registrar notes, and correctly convey seals and case references. For English-to-Korean needs—such as submissions in Korea or for Korean insurers—we assign native Korean linguists to produce an official translation that reads naturally and formally.

Names are transliterated using the spelling shown on passports or existing legal documents to prevent identity mismatches. If no reference exists, we apply standard romanization rules and confirm consistency throughout the file set. Before delivery, each translation undergoes a bilingual review to validate dates, locations, and registry numbers.
