Certified Bambara translation for US filings.
Bambara (Bamanankan) is the most widely spoken language of Mali and one of its official national languages. Malian civil documents are issued predominantly in French, so Verdacert translates Bambara-language statements, letters, customary marriage and family attestations, and N'Ko or Ajami-script documents together with the French-language Malian civil records they accompany, for asylum, family-based, and court filings.

What our reviewers know about your documents
Bambara has an official Latin orthography with the letters ɛ, ɔ, ɲ, and ŋ, and is also written in the N'Ko alphabet (right-to-left) and in Arabic-script Ajami. Malian births, marriages, and deaths are recorded by the centre d'état civil in French; where a birth was never registered, a jugement supplétif issued by a court stands in for the birth record, and Verdacert translates it with the court, case number, and decision date intact. Dates use the day-month-year order.
Common source countries: Mali, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire.
