Serbian Translation Services
DHCTranslations translates Serbian documents in the US, and two things decide whether a file holds together: the thirteen-digit citizen number printed on it, and whether the copy arrived in Cyrillic or in Latin letters. Documents start at $54 apiece, with the statement and the PDF part of the price.

What a certified Serbian translation is checked for
Every page is read for the same three things: the English text, a translator's signed statement, and a date. A Serbian extract also carries the register entry, the registrar's name, the municipality and the round stamp, and each is placed where the document puts it.
What the certification includes
- Signed statement of accuracy: the translator's name, signature and date, their CIOL or ITI membership number, our company stamp and our contact details.
- One name, either alphabet: a Cyrillic Ђ and a Latin Đ are the same letter, and the same goes for Љ, Њ and Џ, so both spellings in one file resolve to a single English name.
- Numbers are not tidied: the citizen number is carried digit for digit with no spacing added, because a reader is going to compare it against the number on a green card and a reformatted string will not match.
- Certified PDF: the certified file is emailed at no extra cost, which is what a US filing accepts. A printed set can be arranged if a receiving body insists on paper, and is quoted per order.

An extract, a thirteen-digit number, and two alphabets
A Serbian civil document is an extract taken from the register book a municipality keeps, and it is issued to whoever asks rather than handed out once at the event. Two features sit on top of that. The first is the thirteen-digit citizen number, whose opening digits are the holder's date of birth. The second is that Serbian is written in Cyrillic and in Latin, so the same person arrives in one alphabet on one paper and the other on the next, and both have to produce one English name.

The citizen number is the detail that costs people weeks. Its first seven digits are the date of birth, so a single mistyped digit contradicts the birth date printed above it and the file is returned. The middle digits carry a code for the republic or region of registration, which is why a person born elsewhere in the former Yugoslavia carries a code that does not match the town they grew up in; that is not an error and the translation does not correct it. On the alphabet: the letters Đ, Љ, Њ and Џ each stand for one sound, so a surname written with Đ in Latin letters is written with a single Cyrillic letter in the other alphabet, and splitting that letter into D and j would turn one letter into two.
What our clients say
Rated 4.9/5 from 314 verified reviews for USCIS submissions, court filings and credential evaluations.
“The diploma used the old five-grade scale and the transcript explained it, so the university could compare it without asking me for a statement.”
Nikola Đ.
“The extract was in Cyrillic and my passport in Latin, and the translator matched them and kept the JMBG exact, which is what the caseworker checked first.”
Miloš J.
“The registrar's seal was faint and half the date was handwritten, and the note describing what could not be read was more useful than a guess would have been.”
Jelena V.

Frequently asked questions
DHCTranslations handles Serbian documents in the US, including birth extracts, citizenship certificates and diplomas in either alphabet, and each translation carries a statement signed by the translator who produced it.
Because the document is an extract, taken from the register book a municipality keeps, and it is issued to whoever asks rather than handed out once at the birth. That is why a family can hold three of them with different issue dates for the same person, and why the register entry matters more than the date printed at the top.
DHCTranslations charges $54 for a document up to 400 words, then $0.12 per word into English or $0.14 from English into Serbian. The statement and the PDF come with the document at that price.
No, but it matters that one file produces one name. Serbian uses both alphabets, so the same name written in Cyrillic on one paper and in Latin letters on the next resolves to a single English name, and the letters Đ, Љ, Њ and Џ each stand for one sound rather than two.
It is the thirteen-digit number on the extract, and its first seven digits are the holder's date of birth. A single mistyped digit therefore contradicts the date printed above it, so the number is carried digit for digit with no spacing added.
No. The middle digits record the republic or region of registration, so a person born elsewhere in the former Yugoslavia carries that region's code. The translation reports it as printed, because correcting it would make the English differ from the document.
From the police, and it certifies that the holder has not been convicted. It states the period covered, so a reader can see whether it reaches far enough back for the filing.
The language is the same and the register terms are the same, but the issuing authority is Bosnian, not Serbian, and the translation states the office as printed. A US officer reads them as documents from two countries.
The diploma and the exam record are translated with every grade and date intact, and DHCTranslations adds a note explaining the Serbian scale so the evaluator can decide the equivalence rather than a translator.
Yes. DHCTranslations charges $0.14 per word from English into Serbian, written by a native speaker in the alphabet the reader needs rather than converted from Croatian.
