Is my Haitian document in Creole or French?
Most official Haitian civil records are written in **French**, not Haitian Creole. That includes birth certificates (acte de naissance), marriage records (acte de mariage), death records and extracts issued by the **Archives Nationales d'Haïti**. Haitian Creole is more common in letters, affidavits, school and church records, personal statements and newer or community-issued documents. Some documents mix both. You don't need to work it out yourself. Upload the document and choose Haitian Creole or French, whichever you think it is. Our translators handle both, and the price is the same either way. For French documents from other countries, see our [French translation](/languages/french-translation) page.
Which Haitian documents do we translate?
We translate the full range of Haitian personal and legal documents needed for US immigration, school enrollment, employment and court proceedings. Everything on the page is translated, including stamps, seals, handwritten entries, signatures (noted as such) and margin notes.
- Birth certificates (acte de naissance) and Archives Nationales d'Haïti extracts
- Marriage and divorce records
- Death certificates
- Police record certificates
- School report cards, baccalauréat results, diplomas and transcripts
- Affidavits, personal declarations and letters written in Haitian Creole
- Court documents, powers of attorney and property records
- Medical records and vaccination cards
What should I know about Haitian birth records?
Haitian birth records often raise questions during US immigration review, so the translation has to reproduce every date and detail exactly. Many births in Haiti were registered months or years after the child was born. The record then shows a registration date that differs from the date of birth, and the translation keeps both exactly as written, without explaining or reconciling them. Applicants often hold both an original acte de naissance and a later extract issued by the Archives Nationales. Spellings of names can differ from one Haitian document to another. We translate each name exactly as it appears in the source. If your other records use a particular spelling, tell us when you order so the file stays consistent. Learn more about [birth certificate translation](/services/birth-certificate-translation).
Will my Haitian Creole translation be accepted by USCIS?
Yes. Our certified translations meet **8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)**, which requires a complete English translation and the translator's certification that they are competent in both languages and that the translation is accurate. Every order includes that signed certification and is covered by our USCIS acceptance guarantee: if the translation is rejected, we revise or redo it free. We translate Haitian documents for family-based petitions, green card and naturalization applications, humanitarian cases and asylum filings. Use our [USCIS document checklist](/tools/uscis-checklist) to confirm what you need, or read about our [USCIS translation services](/immigration/uscis-translation-services).
Why can't a French translator handle Haitian Creole?
Haitian Creole is its own language. Most of its vocabulary comes from French, but its grammar is very different, and French speakers generally cannot understand it without learning it. Haitian Creole and French are both official languages of Haiti, and Creole is the language nearly every Haitian speaks at home. The differences are structural. Verbs are not conjugated: tense and aspect are shown by markers placed before the verb, such as **te** (past), **ap** (ongoing) and **pral** or **va** (future). The definite article follows the noun (liv la, "the book"), and **yo** after a noun marks the plural. Spelling is phonetic and standardized, so words look quite different from their French origins. Our Haitian Creole translators are native speakers, and they work within an ISO 17100 compliant process.
Do you translate English into Haitian Creole?
Yes. We translate English documents into Haitian Creole for individuals, schools, clinics, legal teams and organizations serving Haitian communities, including the large Haitian populations in Florida, New York and Massachusetts. Personal documents are $24.95 per page. For larger projects such as patient instructions, school notices, forms, websites or outreach materials, [request a quote](/quote). These projects are priced individually, so the translation can be adapted to how your readers actually read and speak. See [medical translation](/services/medical-translation) and [document translation](/services/document-translation) for more.
Frequently Asked Questions
A certified Haitian Creole to English translation is $24.95 per page, delivered in 24 hours with a signed Certificate of Accuracy. Expedited 12-hour delivery is $39.95 per page and same-day rush is $59.95 per page.
For official use, the best translator is a native Haitian Creole speaker who is fluent in English, reads the French used on Haitian civil records, and signs a certification of accuracy. Machine tools and bilingual friends cannot provide that certification.
Not for USCIS or any official purpose. USCIS requires a complete translation certified by a competent translator, and a machine translation has no such certification. Machine tools also often mishandle Creole's tense markers and names.
USCIS does not require a licensed or sworn translator. It requires a translator competent in both languages who signs a certification of competence and accuracy. It is best to use an independent professional rather than translating your own documents.
Yes. Most Haitian civil records are in French, and we translate them at the same $24.95 per page. Choose French or Haitian Creole when you upload; either way the document goes to the right translator.
Not for USCIS, which accepts a certified translation without notarization. If a court, school or state agency asks for it, you can add notarization for $24.99 per document.
