Bosnian Translation Services
DHCTranslations translates Bosnian documents in the US, and one line explains most puzzling certificates: the entry was reconstructed after the 1990s war, which is why a birth can be registered years after the event. A document costs $54, statement and PDF included.

What a certified Bosnian translation is checked for
A US reader meeting a certificate issued twenty years after the birth will suspect something unless the page says why. The translation states the reconstruction where it appears and names the authority that issued 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.
- A rebuilt entry is named: where the certificate records a reconstruction, the translation says so at that point, because otherwise the gap between the two dates reads as an irregularity.
- The authority is identified: the entity or district is named as printed, since an office in one entity is not the same authority as its counterpart in another.
- 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.

When the register had to be rebuilt
Municipal registers were destroyed or displaced during the war of the 1990s, and entries were reconstructed afterwards from whatever evidence survived. A certificate issued in 1998 for a birth in 1974 is therefore not a late registration by a careless family: it is a rebuilt entry, and the page often says so in a line a reader skips.

Three things decide how a Bosnian certificate reads. The entry may be a reconstruction, marked as such, so the date of registration and the date of birth are far apart for a reason that is not the family's delay. The issuing authority may be the Federation, Republika Srpska or the Brčko District, each with its own office names and its own heading. And the same certificate may be printed in Latin or Cyrillic letters, which changes nothing about the facts but changes every word a reader sees.
What our clients say
Rated 4.9/5 from 314 verified reviews for USCIS submissions, court filings and credential evaluations.
“The 1-to-5 grades were explained and the award title kept in Bosnian beside the English, so the university could match it to its own list.”
Lejla M.
“The certificate had been reissued after the war and carried an archive reference rather than an original entry number, and the note explaining that was what the caseworker wanted.”
Dajana K.
“The extract came from a Republika Srpska office in Cyrillic while the rest of my file was Latin, and the translation said so instead of treating them as unrelated papers.”
Amra H.

Frequently asked questions
DHCTranslations handles Bosnian documents in the US, including extracts from either entity, citizenship certificates and diplomas, and each translation comes with a signed statement naming the translator.
Usually not. Registers were destroyed or moved during the 1990s war and entries were rebuilt afterwards, and a certificate issued long after the birth is often a reconstruction rather than a late registration. The translation names it as recorded.
DHCTranslations charges $54 for a document up to 400 words, then $0.12 per word into English or $0.14 from English into Bosnian. Statement and PDF are included at that price.
The Federation, Republika Srpska and the Brčko District each keep their own offices and headings. It matters to a reader matching one document against another, so the entity or district is named as printed.
It records the basis on which citizenship was acquired and the authority that decided it, whether by descent, by birth on the territory or by a later application. That clause is translated as written.
No. The same certificate can be printed in either set of letters, and the facts do not change. The translation states which the page used, since a reader comparing two copies will notice the difference.
Because offices label the same language as Bosnian, Serbian or Croatian depending on where the document was produced. The translation follows the label on the page rather than choosing one for it.
USCIS requires the complete text with a signed statement from the translator, and both travel with the order. Send the certificate as issued, with the register number and the stamp intact.
The diploma and the examination record are translated subject by subject, with the grading scale noted where the faculty used it, so the evaluator places the qualification.
Yes. DHCTranslations charges $0.14 per word from English into Bosnian, written by a native speaker rather than adapted from Serbian or Croatian.
