Khasi Translation Services
DHCTranslations translates Khasi documents in the US, and the question a US reader asks is not what the page says but who signed it: a Khasi certificate often carries the signature of a village headman or a traditional chief rather than a government office, and that authority rests on a constitutional schedule rather than on local courtesy. A document costs $54, statement and PDF included.

What a certified Khasi translation is checked for
A page signed in a village with no departmental seal is easy to set aside, and the answer is a statement of what the signatory's office is rather than an argument about the paper.
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 signatory's office is named: a headman, a chief or a district council is identified as a body with recognized authority, so the page is read as an instrument rather than as a personal letter.
- The mother's line is explained: where the clan comes from the mother, the certification says so, since a reader looking for a father's surname will otherwise treat its absence as a defect.
- 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.

The signature is an office, not a formality
Meghalaya keeps much of its official business in English, so the page that needs translating is usually the one issued by a traditional authority: a headman, a chief, a clan or a district council. Those bodies hold recognized powers over land, inheritance and local administration, and their certificates are legal instruments. To a US officer the same page looks like a letter from a neighbor, so the certification says what the signatory is.

Two features of a Khasi file need stating in the US. The issuing body may be a traditional authority with recognized powers rather than a government department, and a certificate from such a body is an instrument of local administration, which the certification explains. And descent runs through the mother, with the clan name inherited from her, so a certificate can record a mother's clan beside a child and no father's surname anywhere, which is correct rather than incomplete.

“The school certificate came back with the school named as printed and the clan name explained, and the university accepted it without a query.”

Frequently asked questions
DHCTranslations translates Khasi documents in the US, covering village and clan certificates, district council papers, board results, university records and court orders, each with a signed translator statement.
A headman, a chief or a district council can hold recognized authority over local records, and a certificate from one is an instrument of administration. The translation states what the signatory's office is.
DHCTranslations charges $54 for a document up to 400 words, then $0.12 per word into English or $0.14 from English into Khasi, with the statement and PDF included.
Because descent and the clan name run through the mother, so a certificate can record her clan beside a child and no paternal surname at all. That is the convention, not a missing detail.
Often not, which is worth knowing before you pay. The pages that do need it are those issued by a traditional body in Khasi, and those are the ones we are asked for most often.
Yes. Khasi is written in Latin letters, so a page can look familiar at a glance while being a different language entirely, which is exactly how the wrong file gets accepted by a cheaper supplier.
A translation is accepted when the full text is there and a translator has signed for it, and both travel with the order. Send the certificate as issued, with the signature and any village stamp legible.
The certificate and marksheet are translated with the subjects, the marks and the board, so an evaluator can see the standard applied rather than a bare total.
Yes. Papers from an autonomous district council are translated with their reference and issuing office, since the council is a body with its own powers rather than a branch of the state government.
Yes. DHCTranslations charges $0.14 per word from English into Khasi, written by a native speaker of the language rather than transliterated from Bengali.
