What our reviewers know about your documents
Amharic is written in the Ge'ez script (fidäl) and read left-to-right. Ethiopian civil documents typically use the Ethiopian calendar, which is roughly 7–8 years behind the Gregorian calendar and has 13 months; Verdacert converts dates to Gregorian for US filings, with the Ethiopian original retained in parentheses. Names are transliterated following USCIS-recognized conventions and aligned with any existing immigration paperwork.
