Translation of multi-document packets commonly used in citizenship restoration cases, including vital records and supporting documents. Names are translated exactly as they appear on each original document. If spellings differ between documents, the translations will reflect those differences across the packet.

Frequently asked questions
What does a certified translation include?
A certified translation includes the translated document and a signed certification statement confirming the translation is complete and accurate. Notarization is available when required.
Can you translate stamps, seals, and handwritten notes?
Yes. I translate visible stamps, seals, marginal notes, and handwritten entries when they are present and legible in the scan or photo.
What if names are spelled differently across documents?
Names are translated exactly as they appear on each original document. If spellings differ between documents, the translations will reflect those differences. When name variance needs to be addressed for an application, clients typically explain it in their application materials or supporting statement.
Do vital records need an Apostille, and do you translate it?
Some vital records and other official documents may need to be accompanied by an Apostille (or other legalization), depending on where the document was issued and where it will be submitted. If an Apostille is provided with your documents, I translate the Apostille as well.
Can you work from scans or photos?
Yes. Clear scans or phone photos are usually sufficient as long as all text, stamps, and edges are visible. If anything is unclear, I will let you know what needs to be re-scanned.
How long does it take?
Turnaround depends on page count, complexity, and volume. Send your documents and deadline, and I will confirm a proposed delivery time in the quote. Rush options are available when needed.
What do you need to provide a quote?
Email the document(s) and your deadline to lsalexander@lithuanian-translation.com. If you are submitting a packet, it helps to send all documents together so I can quote the full set accurately.
How do I send my documents and receive the translation?
You can email scans or photos for a quote and delivery by email. If hard copies or notarized documents need to be mailed, let me know when requesting your quote.
