Haitian Creole Translation Services
Certified Haitian Creole to English translation, and Haitian French documents too, for USCIS, courts and schools. Most Haitian civil records are written in French, so we translate whichever language your document actually uses. $22.99 per page, 24 hour delivery for up to 3 pages.
Haiti has two official languages, Haitian Creole (KreyĆ²l ayisyen) and French. Birth certificates, civil records and court documents are usually written in French, while letters, affidavits and personal statements are often in KreyĆ²l. We translate both into English with a signed Certificate of Accuracy.
- Actes de naissance, extracts from the National Archives, marriage and death records, school certificates
- Late-registered birth records and handwritten civil registers handled by translators who know Haitian formats
- English to Haitian Creole translation is also available for notices, forms and community materials
Haitian Creole or French? Why It Matters for Your Document
If you are looking for a Creole translation of a Haitian birth certificate, check the document first: it is probably in French. Haitian civil registry documents have traditionally been issued in French, the language of administration, even though almost everyone in Haiti speaks Haitian Creole at home.
You do not need to work out which one your document uses. Upload it and the translator assigned to it reads both. A record that mixes French printed headings with handwritten KreyĆ²l notes is translated in full, with each part rendered accurately.
Haitian Documents We Translate
| Document | Usual language | Often needed for |
|---|---|---|
| Acte de naissance (birth certificate) | French | Family petitions, green cards, passports, school enrollment |
| Extrait des Archives Nationales (archive extract) | French | USCIS evidence of birth |
| Acte de mariage and divorce judgments | French | Spousal petitions, proof a prior marriage ended |
| Acte de dĆ©cĆØs (death certificate) | French | Widow(er) petitions, estates |
| School certificates and transcripts | French | University admission, credential evaluation |
| Affidavits, letters and personal statements | Haitian Creole | Asylum and TPS evidence, court cases |
| Police records and court documents | French | Immigration and legal proceedings |
Whatever the document, every stamp, seal and handwritten note is translated, not summarized. Our Miami and Boston pages cover local immigration courts and consulates, including Haiti's consulate in Boston.
Late Registrations, Names and Handwritten Records
Haitian records have a few features that trip up generic translation.
- Late-registered births are common, and the record shows both the birth date and the much later registration date. We translate both exactly, because USCIS and other authorities look at the gap
- Records name the parents in full and often describe the declarant and witnesses. Every name stays in the order and spelling of the original, and we can note a passport spelling alongside it
- Older civil registers are handwritten. Anything that cannot be read with certainty is marked [illegible] rather than guessed
- KreyĆ²l spelling varies between writers. Our translators read the intended word, not just the letters on the page

English to Haitian Creole Translation
We also translate from English into Haitian Creole: school and medical notices, legal letters, community information, HR documents and forms. For anything that will not be submitted to an authority, our standard translation at $0.05 per word is usually the right choice. Tell us the audience when you order, so the translator can write in natural, everyday KreyĆ²l rather than a word-for-word rendering.
Haitian Civil Record Terms and Their English Translation
Haitian civil records use French administrative terms that have specific meanings. These are the ones we see on most Haitian documents.
| Term on the document | English translation |
|---|---|
| Acte de naissance | Birth certificate (birth record) |
| Extrait des Archives | Extract from the National Archives |
| Officier de l'État Civil | Civil Registrar |
| Déclarant | Declarant, the person who reported the birth |
| Témoins | Witnesses |
| Acte de reconnaissance | Acknowledgment of paternity |
| Mention marginale | Marginal note added after registration |
In our Haitian Creole translation, each term is translated consistently across every document in your order.
Haitian Identity Documents
Besides civil records, we translate Haitian identity documents: the national identity card (Carte d'Identification Nationale, CIN) issued by the Office National d'Identification, and the tax identification number (NIF) card. Card numbers, dates and the holder's details are copied exactly, and both sides are translated.
