Certified Kurdish residence certificate translation for US courts.

Residence certificates issued by Kurdish-speaking jurisdictions are among the most-translated civil documents in US us courts filings. Residence certificates — شهادة الإقامة, certificat de résidence, yerleşim yeri belgesi — establish where the holder legally lives, often for a defined historical period. Verdacert translates these for asylum filings that need to corroborate location at the time of a feared event, for consular processing where address evidence is requested, and for I-130 and I-485 evidence of cohabitation in bona-fide marriage cases.

Kurdish is spoken across a region spanning Iraq, Türkiye, Iran, and Syria, with two principal written varieties used in official documents. Verdacert translates Kurdish-language civil records, Kurdistan Regional Government documents, and asylum case materials — selecting reviewers calibrated to the specific dialect and script of your source. Verdacert's reviewer pool covers Sorani (Central Kurdish), Kurmanji (Northern Kurdish), Pehlewani and Southern Kurdish, with country-specific document conventions from Iraq, Türkiye, Iran, Syria.

Kurdish documents may appear in either Sorani (right-to-left, Arabic-based script) or Kurmanji (left-to-right, Latin-based script with diacritics). Iraqi Kurdistan documents are often bilingual (Kurdish + Arabic); Verdacert produces a single English translation and notes the source script and dialect on the certification. Dates may use the Gregorian or Solar Hijri calendar depending on country of issuance.

US state and federal courts accept Verdacert translations as evidence in civil and criminal proceedings, family court, depositions, and discovery. Where a specific jurisdiction requires notarization, we coordinate with a US-licensed notary at checkout.

For residence certificate translations specifically, our reviewers focus on some municipalities issue residence certificates with no validity period — uscis reviewers prefer a clear time window and documents that list current address only vs full registered-address history, among other patterns. The AI draft is calibrated to surface uncertainty rather than guess, so the reviewer always knows where to spend their attention.

Every translation we deliver includes a signed certification statement, a faithful transcription of every field on the source, descriptions of all seals and stamps, and explicit [illegible] markers anywhere the source is unreadable rather than a guess. The reviewer signs the certification under their own name.
