WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Dominican Single Status Certificate (Certificación de No Casado (Certificación de Soltería))
Dominican single-status proof comes in two forms, and choosing correctly matters for USCIS or a marriage abroad. The JCE issues a Certificacion de No Casado (certification of not-married), obtained only at the Civil Registry headquarters at Av. Luperon corner Av. 27 de Febrero, opposite the Plaza de la Bandera in Santo Domingo, and delivered the same day if requested before noon. Alternatively, a Declaracion Jurada de Estado Civil y Domicilio — a notarized sworn statement, often executed before a Dominican consul abroad through MIREX — declares under oath that the person is single and states their residence over the past two years. The JCE certification is a registry record; the declaracion jurada is a notarial act, so their headers and formats differ. For a K-1 fiance(e) or marriage petition we translate the exact wording — the oath, the notary or Oficial's block, and every stamp — and certify the English version to 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3).
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Dominican Single Status Certificate Comes From
In Dominican Republic, civil-status records come from the Junta Central Electoral (JCE) — Oficialías del Estado Civil (Central Electoral Board — Civil Registry Offices). The Dominican Republic has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 2009, so documents are authenticated with a single apostille issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, MIREX / Cancillería) through its Dirección de Legalización y Apostilla.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Dominican Single Status Certificate Translated
For your Dominican single-status 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 Dominican original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Dominican Single Status Certificate Pitfalls
Dominican single-status certificates vary in scope — in some countries they attest only to the issuing registry's own records, while countries with a centralized national register cover the whole country — so the English wording must state your certificate's actual scope precisely, and name romanization must match the passport.

How much does Dominican single status certificate translation cost?
A standard Dominican single-status 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 Dominican single status 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.
Why do my Dominican documents show two last names?
Dominican naming convention uses two surnames — the father's first, then the mother's — and women keep their birth surnames after marriage. We translate all names exactly as written so they match your passport and other filings, which prevents the name-mismatch queries that delay USCIS cases.
