💍 How to Translate Marriage Docs When One Spouse Lives Abroad
Being in a long-distance relationship is already hard—but dealing with paperwork from two different countries can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re newly married or planning to submit a petition through USCIS or a consulate, you’ll likely need to translate marriage documents before anything can move forward.
At Virtual Same Day Marriage, we make this process simple. Whether you’ve already tied the knot or just booked your same-day virtual wedding & translation, we help couples across the globe get their paperwork done fast and correctly—even when one spouse is abroad.
With a document translator trusted by 10,000+ clients and a smooth, all-digital process, you can start your translation today and focus on what matters: getting reunited.
🌍 Why Translation Is Non-Negotiable When One Spouse Is Outside the U.S.
If your marriage certificate—or any supporting documents—is not in English, USCIS and U.S. embassies will not accept it without a certified translation.
That means you’ll need:
- A word-for-word translation of the entire document
- A translator’s signed certificate of accuracy
- The original document submitted alongside the translation
- Formatting that mirrors the original layout
We’ve helped thousands of couples in long-distance relationships get it done quickly—and correctly.
