Armenian Translation Services
DHCTranslations translates Armenian documents in the US, and the surname is settled first, because Armenian reaches English through romanization and one family's name can arrive three different ways. A certificate runs $54, with the statement and the PDF inside that.

What a certified Armenian translation is checked for
A US reader sees an English page and a seal they cannot check, so the certificate has to do the work the original does: name the office, state the reference, and say which romanized form of the name it has chosen and why.
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 romanization, declared: the spelling on a passport or visa is followed where the family has one, the alternatives are noted, and the certificate states which form was used so a reader can match it to a green card.
- The middle name is explained: the patronymic is identified as the father's name in the genitive, because a US form invites it into a middle-name field where it does not belong.
- 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.

A surname that arrives as -yan, -ian or -jan
Armenian has an alphabet of its own, thirty-eight letters with no relative in Latin or Cyrillic, so every name on a certificate has to be romanized before an English reader sees it. The ending of a surname is where that shows: the same family appears as -yan on a registry certificate, -ian on a passport issued abroad, and -jan in an older German or French record, and a file that carries all three reads like three people.

Three things sit on an Armenian page besides the words. The patronymic comes between the given name and the surname, formed from the father's name, and it is not a middle name, so the order matters to anyone matching the record against a form. A paper issued before 1991 carries Soviet institution names and often a Russian column beside the Armenian, and both are translated as printed rather than modernized. And the state seal is round and embossed rather than inked, so where it covers text the description goes in square brackets at that point.
What our clients say
Rated 4.9/5 from 314 verified reviews for USCIS submissions, court filings and credential evaluations.
“The certificate was a duplicate issued in 2019 for a birth in 1988, and the translator noted the later issue date instead of letting it look like an altered paper.”
Ani H.
“The diploma and its annex kept the subject list and marks, and the patronymic note stopped the university filing my father's name as a middle name.”
Karen A.
“The extract was a single page with a stamp, and the reference and validity date both came through exactly.”
Lilit S.

Frequently asked questions
DHCTranslations handles Armenian documents in the US, including registry certificates, diplomas and police certificates, and each translation carries a statement signed by the translator who produced it.
Both are romanizations of the same ending, and neither is wrong; what matters is that one file uses one form throughout. The passport spelling is followed where there is one, and the certificate notes the other forms so a reader can see they name the same family.
DHCTranslations charges $54 for a document up to 400 words, then $0.12 per word into English or $0.14 from English into Armenian. The statement and the PDF travel with the document rather than being billed apart.
It is a patronymic, the father's name in the genitive, sitting between the given name and the surname. It is not a middle name, and putting it in a US middle-name field changes how the name reads against a passport.
It is the ten-digit number Armenian state services use to identify one person across records, and it appears on certificates and transcripts alike. It is copied digit for digit, because it is the field an officer uses to tie two papers to the same individual.
They are read as printed, with the Soviet institution named and any Russian column translated beside the Armenian. Where that office has since been renamed, the current name is added once in brackets rather than substituted.
USCIS asks for the complete text plus a statement signed by the translator, which every order carries. Send the certificate the registry issued rather than a photocopy of a photocopy, because each generation of copy loses the embossed seal a reader is meant to check.
It records whether a man has served, when, in what rank, or on what ground he was exempted. US filings on Armenian applicants ask for it often enough that it is worth translating with the birth certificate rather than after a request.
The diploma and the transcript are translated with every course and mark intact, and DHCTranslations adds a note on the Armenian scale so the evaluator decides the equivalence instead of the translator.
Yes. DHCTranslations charges $0.14 per word from English into Armenian, written by a native speaker in the standard the reader uses rather than a mixture of the two.
