Turkish nikah marriage contracts submitted for employer — what reviewers look for, and what we attach.
Nikah marriage contracts issued by Turkish-speaking jurisdictions are among the most-translated civil documents in US employer filings. Nikah marriage contracts — عقد الزواج, عقد النكاح, کابیننامه — are the religious-law marriage instruments used across the Muslim world, sometimes alongside and sometimes in place of a civil marriage certificate. USCIS accepts a certified translation of the nikah contract for I-130 spouse petitions and K-1 / K-3 visa cases from jurisdictions where the religious marriage is the primary or only record (notably Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iran, and parts of Pakistan).
Turkish is the official language of Türkiye. Verdacert translates Turkish civil status records (nüfus cüzdanı), marriage records, apostilled court documents, and academic credentials for US-based immigration, court, and university use. Verdacert's reviewer pool covers Istanbul Turkish, with country-specific document conventions from Türkiye, Cyprus.
Turkish uses a Latin-based alphabet with diacritics (ı, ö, ç, ş, ü, ğ). Names are transcribed exactly as they appear; where transliteration into a non-diacritic spelling is required for USCIS form alignment, both versions are noted.
US-based employers and HR departments use Verdacert for I-9 verification supporting documents, employment-based immigration filings, and onboarding of internationally-credentialed staff.
For nikah marriage contract translations specifically, our reviewers focus on mahr denominated in gold dinars, dirhams, or named property — preserved with reviewer-note conversion and wakalah (representation) clauses where the bride was not physically present, 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.
