If you’re getting married online—especially through a service like Virtual Same Day Marriage—then proper translation of your legal documents is more than just a detail. It’s a requirement that can make or break your application for a visa, green card, or recognition abroad.

We often get asked about the role of translations in this process. Whether you need a French certified translator, Chinese document translation, or Hindi translation services, this guide walks you through what matters most.

Why Translations Matter After a Virtual Wedding

Marriage is personal—but marriage documents are legal. If your virtual marriage certificate is going to be used for USCIS, consulates, or foreign agencies, it must be:

  • Translated into the local or required language

  • Certified for accuracy

  • Often notarized or apostilled

That’s why getting a proper French certified translator, or equivalent professional, is essential.

Common Scenarios Where Translations Are Required

  • Filing for a green card after your online wedding

  • Applying for a spouse visa (K-1, CR-1)

  • Submitting marriage certificates to embassies

  • Proving marital status to foreign governments

If your documents are in English but needed in another language—or vice versa—you’ll need an official translation.

Language Pairs We Commonly Handle

  • French certified translator services for Canada, France, and West African nations

  • Chinese document translation for use in China or Chinese embassies

  • Hindi translation services for clients filing in India or with Indian consular authorities

Who Can Translate Legal Marriage Documents?

Not just anyone! You’ll need:

  • A professional fluent in both source and target language

  • Experience with legal formatting

  • A signed certificate of translation accuracy

We only work with translators who specialize in legal and immigration-grade documents.
