WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Bolivian Death Certificate (Certificado de Defunción)
The Certificado de Defunción is issued by SERECÍ (Servicio de Registro Cívico) of the Tribunal Supremo Electoral, and is the legal death record — distinct from the medical Certificado Médico Único de Defunción a doctor completes first. It states the deceased's two surnames, date and place of death, cause where recorded, and the partida (libro/folio) and Oficialía de Registro Civil. Current copies use the biometric plain-paper format with a barcode; pre-2010 records carry the Corte Nacional Electoral heading. Rural and delayed registrations (registro extemporáneo/tardío) are common and appear as annotations that must be translated, not skipped. USCIS commonly needs this for a widow(er)'s I-360, for removing conditions on residence after a spouse's death, or to prove a prior marriage ended. We produce a complete literal English translation — every field, seal, and marginal note marked [SEAL]/[SIGNATURE] — bearing our signed certification of accuracy and completeness accepted by USCIS.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Bolivian Death Certificate Comes From
In Bolivia, civil-status records come from the Servicio de Registro Cívico (SERECI) — Civil Registry Service, an arm of the Órgano Electoral Plurinacional (Plurinational Electoral Organ / Supreme Electoral Tribunal). Bolivia has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since it entered into force on May 7, 2018, so Bolivian public documents are authenticated with a single apostille — an electronic apostilla issued by the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores (Cancillería) — with no US embassy or consular legalization required.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Bolivian Death Certificate Translated
For your Bolivian death certificate, USCIS requires a complete English translation of everything on the page — the issuing office’s details, seals, and any marginal notes included — plus a signed certification of accuracy under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Machine translation cannot sign that certification. We reproduce the document's exact layout so an officer can compare it line by line against your Bolivian original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Bolivian Death Certificate Pitfalls
Bolivian death certificates use medical and cause-of-death terminology that must be rendered precisely, and the decedent has to be clearly identifiable to support a widow(er) or prior-marriage claim.
Native Bolivian Specialist
