Certified Sinhalese Translation for USCIS (12-Hour Turnaround)
Are you submitting a Sri Lankan birth certificate or police clearance from the Registrar General’s Department for your Green Card? We understand how stressful immigration filings can be. Our certified Sinhalese translation services provide USCIS-compliant results tailored for official use.
Our native experts ensure your Sinhalese to English certified translation meets all USCIS requirements, including accuracy and official certification. Confirming documents are submitted online, originals are not required.
For many applicants from Sri Lanka, the Upanna Sahathikaya or birth certificate is the most vital document for proving identity and lineage. This document is issued by the Registrar General’s Department and often contains specific administrative details that are crucial for the legal immigration process in the United States.
In our experience with USCIS submissions, we often see that the clarity of Divisional Secretariat stamps and the precise wording of family details are key to avoiding delays. Sri Lankan civil documents utilize a formal administrative register where specific titles and regional codes must be rendered with absolute legal precision. We ensure that every stamp, seal, signature, and issuing authority detail is captured with total formatting consistency. Because USCIS requires a complete translation of the entire document, we certify that all visible content is meticulously accounted for in the English version.
Navigating Trilingual Sri Lankan Documents
Many modern documents from Sri Lanka are issued in a trilingual format featuring Sinhalese, Tamil, and English. This can sometimes be confusing for USCIS applicants who aren't sure if they still need a certified translation when English text is already present.
It is important to remember that USCIS requires a complete translation of any foreign language sections, including handwritten entries and specific stamps from the Registrar General or Divisional Secretariat that remain in Sinhalese or Tamil. We specialize in these complex trilingual formats, ensuring that every single word is accounted for so your application moves forward without a Request for Evidence.
