Translation of foreign language death certificates
Escrow officers who assist buyers and sellers from foreign countries often need to have certain documents such as death certificates translated into English. They need to record the death of the property owner before transferring the title. The county recorder’s office records deaths, births, and marriages. It has specific requirements that you need to meet in order to record a death, birth, or marriage. The translation of a document that goes to the county recorder’s office must be certified and notarized. While a document going to a court in California can be certified by a court-approved translator, a translated document presented to county recorder has to be certified and notarized. The translator needs to have the proper registration number. The certification and declaration asks for the full name of the translators as well as their certification or registration number. In addition, the form indicates the description of the document. The document has to be signed before a notary and dated.
What information does a death certificate contain?
A death certificate usually includes the full name of the deceased as well as the place and date of death. Some death certificates also include the cause of death and the registration number. They may also specify the marital status of the deceased and the name of the officer who recorded the death.

Translation for USCIS vs translation for county recorder’s office
Individuals who are submitting a foreign language document to USCIS have to present a certified translation too. The county recorder’s office, on the other hand, requires certified translations to be notarized and attached to the proper paperwork. USCIS accepts electronic copies, whereas the county recorder’s office requires the original signature. Therefore, a translation that is submitted to USCIS is not acceptable for the Office of the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk.
