WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Peruvian Marriage Certificate (Acta de Matrimonio (Partida de Matrimonio))
Peru's marriage record is the "Acta de Matrimonio" (older certified copies say "Partida de Matrimonio"), registered at the municipal OREC of the district where the civil ceremony took place and now retrievable as a RENIEC copia certificada PDF (about S/10.30 online with QR and firma digital, S/12.00 in person). The acta names both spouses with their two surnames each — Peruvian women legally keep their birth surnames, so the wife is never renamed "de [husband]" — plus DNI numbers, the officiating alcalde or registrar, and two witnesses. Crucially, divorces are not separate certificates: a nota marginal de disolucion del vinculo matrimonial is stamped onto this same acta, so an up-to-date copy shows current status. For USCIS, the certified English translation must carry both spouses' surnames exactly as printed, the place and date of celebration, the witnesses, and any marginal annotation — divorce, rectification, or re-registration — even faint ones, with the translator's certification of accuracy appended.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Peruvian Marriage Certificate 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 Marriage Certificate Translated
For your Peruvian marriage 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 Peruvian original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Peruvian Marriage Certificate Pitfalls
Peruvian marriage certificates frequently carry a marginal annotation recording a later divorce or a spouse's death that must be translated, not skipped, and both spouses' names have to match their other USCIS filings exactly.
Native Peruvian Specialist
