WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Nicaraguan Death Certificate (Certificado de Defunción)
A Nicaraguan death certificate (Certificado de Defuncion) is issued by the municipal Registro Civil de las Personas — or the Registro Central in Managua — under the CSE. The chain begins with MINSA's medical 'Constancia de Defuncion' (or a Constancia Administrativa), often with a cemetery constancia; survivors present these to inscribe the death, after which the registry issues the certificate on Nicaragua's single national vital-records form. It lists the deceased's two surnames, date and place of death, and the cause of death in Spanish medical terminology the translator must render precisely. For USCIS, this typically supports a widow(er)'s I-360, removal of conditions, or proof that a prior spouse died so the petitioner is free to remarry, so names and dates must match the birth or marriage records exactly. Because the seal is a CSE electoral-registry seal rather than a health-ministry stamp, the translation should reproduce that signature-and-seal block and any marginal note in position for the adjudicator.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Nicaraguan Death Certificate Comes From
In Nicaragua, civil-status records come from the Registro Civil de las Personas (Civil Registry of Persons), operated under the Consejo Supremo Electoral (Supreme Electoral Council). Nicaragua joined the Hague Apostille Convention (in force since 14 May 2013), so its public documents are authenticated with a single apostille from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINREX) rather than US embassy/consular legalization.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Nicaraguan Death Certificate Translated
For your Nicaraguan 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 Nicaraguan original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Nicaraguan Death Certificate Pitfalls
Nicaraguan 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.
