Connecting Your Old Name to Your New One
When your name changed abroad, every US office needs to see the link between the name on your old documents and the name you use today. That link is the name change document, so its translation has to show both names clearly.
Depending on the country, it may be a court order, a deed poll, a marriage certificate, an annotation on your birth certificate, or a government gazette notice. When you order with MotaWord, your translation matches your name change document line for line: both the old and the new name exactly as printed, the order number, the issuing authority, and the effective date.
USCIS, the Social Security Administration, and the passport office each check this link, and a certified translation with a signed certificate of accuracy is what they ask for.

Read all 1,744 reviewsVery professional and extremely competent and expedient, at a very affordable rate. My Vitalchek order, which required providing a certified translation of my French birth certificate,was immediately approved. The translation and format used to respect the original handwritten document were excellent along with the notarized certificate accompanying the translation. Thanks for a great job. XB
Excellent translator and translation of my birth certificate. I did a birth certificate translation with a notary in person and the translation was not accurate, but with MotaWord everything was exactly how I needed it. Thanks to all the MotaWord team. God bless you all.
A mistake was made several years ago and just now noticed. I reached out asking for help and the mistake was promptly fixed without charge. I really appreciate the consideration given to my case. You earned my respect. Thank you!
