Swedish Translation Services
DHCTranslations translates Swedish documents in the US, and the name is the usual sticking point, because the name a Swedish family uses every day can be the second or third of three given names. A document costs $54, and the statement and the PDF are part of that.

What a certified Swedish translation is checked for
One register holds identity, address, civil status and family ties, which is why a Swedish file is short and why the wrong extract in that short file is expensive. The certificate says which extract it was given and what that extract proves.
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.
- The calling name is marked: the translation states which of the given names the record marks as the one in use, because a US form will otherwise take the first and disagree with the passport.
- The century is not invented: the ten-digit number is reproduced as printed and the date of birth is taken from the date on the page, so no digit is added to make the number look complete.
- 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.

Three given names, and only one of them is the name
Swedish records print every given name in order and mark which one is used in address - the calling name - and it is often not the first. A US form takes the first given name as the given name, so a person known their whole life by their second name arrives on a green card under a name they do not answer to. The extract settles it, because it says which name is the calling one.

Two features of the Swedish paperwork are worth knowing before a file is sent. The identity number is ten digits and carries no century, so the full date of birth has to be read from the printed date rather than reconstructed from the number; the number is copied digit for digit and never completed by guesswork. And the same register produces several different extracts, each proving a different set of facts, so which extract was supplied decides what the English can state about the family.
What our clients say
Rated 4.9/5 from 314 verified reviews for USCIS submissions, court filings and credential evaluations.
“My wife kept her own surname, and the translation stated that plainly so the relationship evidence was not read as inconsistent.”
Oskar H.
“The extract showed my birth date and my parents, and the translator explained that there is no separate birth certificate, which saved an email to the caseworker.”
Elin L.
“The grading and the credit system were explained in the translation, and the admissions office did not come back asking for a comparability statement.”
Sara B.

Frequently asked questions
DHCTranslations handles Swedish documents in the US, including population register extracts, grade records and degree certificates, and each translation carries a statement signed by the translator who produced it.
Because Swedish records list every given name and mark which one is used in address. If the second or third name is the calling name, that is the name the person answers to, and a US form that takes the first one produces a mismatch the extract can explain.
DHCTranslations charges $54 for a document up to 400 words, then $0.12 per word into English or $0.14 from English into Swedish. Statement and PDF come with the document at no separate charge.
Yes. The country does not issue one, and the register extract carries the date and place of birth instead. What a US reader needs is that extract, translated in full, rather than a certificate the Swedish system never produced.
The third of those four marks sex, and the final digit is a check digit. Both are copied exactly, because a reader comparing the number against another filing notices when they have been changed.
Because ten digits were designed to be short, and the century is inferred from context. The translation takes the full date of birth from the printed date on the page instead of adding digits that were never there.
The one that lists relationships, since a version that confirms identity and civil status alone will not show who the children are. Send the extract you already hold rather than ordering a new one; the translation states which version it was.
USCIS wants the complete text plus a translator's signed statement, which every order carries. Send the extract as printed, with the check digit and the issue date intact.
The upper-secondary record and the degree are translated with every subject, grade and credit intact, and DHCTranslations adds a note on the Swedish scale so the evaluator makes the comparison.
Yes. DHCTranslations charges $0.14 per word from English into Swedish, written by a native speaker rather than adapted from Norwegian or Danish.
