In Senegal and the Gambia, the term Keeyitu Juddu refers to the extract of a birth certificate, a vital document for establishing identity and family relationships. This cultural and administrative concept of the birth record is essential when submitting civil registry documents for US immigration.
Wolof records often contain unique notations from local civil registrars that require deep linguistic expertise. We ensure all stamps, signatures, and seals from West African authorities are translated with legal precision. Our experience with USCIS submissions ensures that formatting remains consistent with the original. All visible content is translated and certified to satisfy strict USCIS requirements.
Managing Bilingual Wolof and French Records for Immigration
Many Senegalese documents are issued by the local Mairie or town hall and feature a mix of Wolof names and French administrative headers. You might wonder if you need a translation if some parts are already in French. For USCIS, any document containing non-English text must have a complete certified translation.
Our linguists specialize in these bilingual layouts, ensuring that native Wolof terms for family relations or locations are accurately rendered alongside the official French stamps. This comprehensive approach prevents common RFEs related to incomplete translations of West African civil records.
