WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Nepali Death Certificate (Mrityu Darta Pramanpatra (मृत्यु दर्ता प्रमाणपत्र))
A Nepali death certificate — Mrityu Darta Pramanpatra — is issued by the Local Registrar at the ward office where the death occurred or where the deceased last resided, under the same Births, Deaths and Other Personal Events (Registration) Act, 2033. It must be registered within 35 days by a family member, who supplies the deceased's citizenship certificate and a hospital note or witness statement. Older records are handwritten register extracts; newer ones print from the DoNIDCR civil-registration system with a registration number and the ward chairperson's seal. The date of death carries the recurring Nepali complication — it is entered in Bikram Sambat and must be converted to the Gregorian equivalent, with both preserved in the certified translation. Cause of death is frequently absent, since registration relies on the informant rather than a physician. For USCIS uses — a widowed spouse re-petitioning, or documenting a deceased petitioner or beneficiary — translate the informant's name, relationship, the registrar block and seal exactly, and attach the translator's certification of competence and accuracy.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Nepali Death Certificate Comes From
In Nepal, civil-status records come from the Local Registrar's Office (स्थानीय पञ्जिकाधिकारीको कार्यालय) at the ward level, under the Department of National ID and Civil Registration (DoNIDCR / राष्ट्रिय परिचयपत्र तथा पञ्जिकरण विभाग), Ministry of Home Affairs. Nepal is not a Hague Apostille country, so no apostille exists; civil documents are authenticated by consular legalization — notarization, then the Chief District Officer / District Administration Office, then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Department of Consular Services, Tripureshwor, Kathmandu), and where required the Embassy of Nepal in Washington, DC.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Nepali Death Certificate Translated
For your Nepali 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 Nepali original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Nepali Death Certificate Pitfalls
Nepali 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 Nepali Specialist
A native speaker of your document's language handles it — not a generalist or a machine.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Nepali death certificate translation cost?
A standard Nepali death certificate is typically $15-25 total, certified and formatted, delivered in 24-48 hours. Pricing is $0.05 per word; longer or multi-page documents are quoted exactly before you pay.
Is your Nepali death certificate translation accepted by USCIS?
Yes. Every translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy meeting 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). If USCIS rejects it citing the translation, we correct it free and reimburse your resubmission fee.
How will my name be spelled in the English translation?
We match the romanized spelling on your passport. Nepali names transliterated from Devanagari can be spelled several ways (for example Shrestha vs. Shreshtha), and USCIS cross-checks names across documents, so we keep every translation consistent with your passport and citizenship certificate.
