WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Moroccan Divorce Decree (Acte de divorce / رسم الطلاق (حكم بالتطليق))
Moroccan divorce runs through the family section of the tribunal de première instance; once the judge authorizes it, two adouls draft the acte de divorce, which is then registered and annotated onto the marriage record. The translation must precisely identify the divorce type — talaq (repudiation), tatliq (judicial divorce for harm), chiqaq (irreconcilable discord), or the consensual talaq ittifaqi — because USCIS and Casablanca consular officers use it to judge whether the divorce is final and whether the petitioner was free to remarry. The document is Arabic, cites Moudawana articles by number, and states the date the divorce became definitive after the idda (waiting) period; that date, not the filing date, is what an officer checks against a subsequent marriage. Marginal mentions and the court/case reference must be rendered in full. Our certified English translation preserves the Arabic legal terms with bracketed explanations and attaches the translator's signed 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) statement to the original scan, translating every seal rather than paraphrasing.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Moroccan Divorce Decree Comes From
In Morocco, civil-status records come from the Bureau d'État Civil / مكتب الحالة المدنية (Civil Status Office). Morocco is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention (in force since 14 August 2016), so Moroccan public documents are authenticated with a single apostille rather than consular legalization.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Moroccan Divorce Decree Translated
For your Moroccan divorce decree, 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 Moroccan original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Moroccan Divorce Decree Pitfalls
Moroccan divorce records must show an unambiguous dissolution date and the exact court or registry that granted it; a vague or mistranslated date can make USCIS question whether a prior marriage truly ended before a new one began.
Native Moroccan Specialist
A native speaker of your document's language handles it — not a generalist or a machine.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Moroccan divorce decree translation cost?
A standard Moroccan divorce decree 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 Moroccan divorce decree 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.
My Moroccan birth certificate is handwritten in Arabic and hard to read. Can you still translate it?
Yes. Older Moroccan civil-status entries were handwritten by the état civil clerk, and faint photocopies are common. Our native Arabic translators are experienced with registry handwriting and will transcribe the names, dates, and register numbers accurately; if a field is genuinely illegible, we mark it '[illegible]' as USCIS guidance requires rather than guessing.
