Understanding Key Afrikaans Legal Terms for USCIS
When translating official documents for USCIS, we often encounter the Afrikaans term identiteitsdokument (identity document). This refers to the official government-issued ID, which may include your national ID card or passport. These documents are crucial for USCIS applications and require precise translation.
In our experience with USCIS submissions, we ensure that all stamps, seals, signatures, and formatting are properly handled to guarantee your documents meet the immigration standards. Proper formatting consistency is key, and all visible content, including official marks, is translated and certified.
Key South African Documents for USCIS Filings
South African USCIS filings often hinge on a few Department of Home Affairs records, especially long-form civil certificates. Many applicants submit an unabridged birth certificate, frequently labeled onverkorte geboortesertifikaat, and a marriage record (huweliksertifikaat) to confirm identity and family relationships. If there were prior marriages, USCIS typically expects the court divorce order (egskeidingsbevel) or a death certificate (doodsertifikaat).
For visa-stage screening, a South African Police Service clearance certificate and any related court dispositions may be requested. USCIS reviewers look for a complete translation of every visible element, including stamps, seals, annotations, and issuing authority details, even when the document is partly English. For the most accurate and up-to-date information about specific documents required for your filing, please visit the USCIS website or consult with an immigration attorney.
