WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Peruvian Divorce Decree (Sentencia / Resolucion de Divorcio (anotacion en el Acta de Matrimonio))
Peru has no standalone "divorce certificate." Depending on the route, the operative document is a court "Sentencia de Divorcio" (Poder Judicial, for contested cases), a notarial "escritura publica / acta notarial de divorcio," or a municipal "resolucion de alcaldia" issued under Law 29227's fast separation-and-later-divorce track. Whichever it is, the dissolution is then recorded as a nota marginal on the RENIEC Acta de Matrimonio (registration code 06610), which is why many clients also present an updated marriage acta reading "disuelto el vinculo matrimonial." For USCIS, the certified English translation must render the full document — the expediente (case-file) number, the parties' two surnames, the resolutory clause dissolving the marriage, and, on court sentences, the stamp confirming it is "consentida y ejecutoriada" (final and enforceable). If a client submits only the RENIEC marginal annotation, the translation must reproduce that note verbatim. The translator's signed statement of competence and accuracy is attached to each piece.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Peruvian Divorce Decree Comes From
In Peru, civil-status records come from the Registro Nacional de Identificación y Estado Civil (RENIEC) — National Registry of Identification and Civil Status. Peru has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since September 30, 2010, so a single apostille replaces consular legalization. Full Peru apostille & authentication guidance →
USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Peruvian Divorce Decree Translated
For your Peruvian 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 Peruvian original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Peruvian Divorce Decree Pitfalls
Peruvian 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 Peruvian Specialist
A native speaker of your document's language handles it — not a generalist or a machine.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Peruvian divorce decree translation cost?
A standard Peruvian 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 Peruvian 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 partida is old and handwritten — can you still translate it?
Yes. Faded, handwritten libro extracts from provincial registries are common, and our Peru specialists are used to deciphering them. Illegible portions are marked as such in the translation rather than guessed, which keeps the document defensible with USCIS.
