Certified Twi (Akan) translation for US filings.
Akan is the most widely spoken indigenous language of Ghana, and Twi - in its Asante and Akuapem forms - is its principal written variety. Ghanaian civil records are issued in English, so Verdacert translates the Twi-language documents that accompany them - customary marriage and family attestations, statutory declarations, letters, and church records - for US immigration, family-based, and court filings.

What our reviewers know about your documents
Twi is written in the Latin alphabet with the additional letters ɛ and ɔ; tone is not marked. Ghana's Births and Deaths Registry issues birth certificates in English, and customary marriages are registered under the Customary Marriage and Divorce (Registration) Law, so Twi source material is usually customary and family documentation that supports those records. Akan day names (Kwame, Akosua) and family names are preserved exactly as spelled on the holder's passport. Dates use the day-month-year order.
Common source countries: Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire.
