Certified Kurdish single-status certificate translation for USCIS.

Single-status certificates issued by Kurdish-speaking jurisdictions are among the most-translated civil documents in US uscis filings. Single-status certificates — also called certificates of no impediment to marriage, شهادة العزوبية, certificat de célibat, or evlenme ehliyet belgesi — confirm that the holder is legally free to marry. USCIS requires the certified English translation for K-1 fiancé(e) visa petitions, K-3 spouse-visa cases involving a foreign-issued single-status certificate, and most foreign-marriage filings where the spouse will subsequently sponsor a US immigration benefit.

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.

USCIS requires that any non-English document submitted in support of an immigration petition be accompanied by a full English translation, plus a signed statement from a competent translator attesting that the translation is complete and accurate. Verdacert's certification statement is drafted to meet this requirement exactly. The applicable standard is 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3).

For single-status certificate translations specifically, our reviewers focus on short validity windows that force re-issuance close to the filing date and lebanese certificates issued by religious courts vs civil notaries — uscis prefers civil where available, 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.
