Estonian Translation Services
DHCTranslations translates Estonian documents in the US, and a page printed from the population register can look self-made to an officer looking for a raised seal: its authority is a verification code and a file reference checked against a state database, not an impression pressed into the paper. A document costs $54, statement and PDF included.

What a certified Estonian translation is checked for
A plain-looking printout with no seal is exactly the kind of document that gets set aside, so the translation carries the evidence of authority across rather than just the text.
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 code is carried over: the verification code, the file reference and the date of issue are reproduced, so an officer can confirm the page against the register instead of judging it by its appearance.
- The household page is explained: where one extract covers several people, the certification says so, since an officer expecting one record per person may read a household list as the wrong document.
- 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 page that proves itself with a code
Estonian registers issue documents as printouts, and the printout carries a reference and a verification code rather than a wax seal and a signature in ink. That is the full form of the document, not a photocopy of something better. A reader who expects a stamp will see a plain sheet, so the certification says where the authority sits.

Three features of an Estonian file need explaining in the US. A printout from the register is the document, and its verification code is what makes it authoritative, so the code and the date of issue are reproduced. The personal code begins with a digit that records sex as well as century, so an odd first digit and an even one describe different people born in the same era. And an extract from the population register lists a household rather than a single person, which is why one page can carry four names that a US form expects on four separate records.
What our clients say
Rated 4.9/5 from 314 verified reviews for USCIS submissions, court filings and credential evaluations.
“The diplom and akadeemiline õiend came back with the marks and credits intact, and the university accepted them without asking for a conversion table.”
Martin K.
“The extract and the certificate described the same birth, and the translator cross-checked the isikukood rather than treating them as two separate events.”
Kadri T.
“The karistusregistri teatis was short, but the reference and the date it was valid to both mattered, and both were exact.”
Liis M.

Frequently asked questions
DHCTranslations translates Estonian documents in the US, from population register printouts and certificates to diplomas, criminal-record notices and court decisions, each with a signed statement from the translator.
It should not be, because the seal is not the authority on an Estonian printout. The verification code and file reference are, and both are reproduced on the translation so the page can be checked against the register.
DHCTranslations charges $54 for a document up to 400 words, then $0.12 per word into English or $0.14 from English into Estonian, with the statement and PDF included.
For an Estonian file, often yes: the population register extract covers a household rather than one individual. The certification explains that, so a household list is not taken for the wrong paper.
It records sex and century together, so an odd first digit and an even one describe different people of the same era. The code is reproduced exactly, and the date of birth on the page is printed beside it.
Yes. Papers from before 1991 often carry Estonian and Russian on the same sheet, and the Estonian is translated with the Russian consulted where the two columns differ.
A translation is accepted where the whole text is present and the translator has signed for it, and both come with the order. Send the printout as issued, with the reference and code legible.
The diploma is translated with the qualification, the institution and the year, and the transcript supplies the subjects, grades and credit points, so the award can be placed.
No. Estonian names do not take gender endings and a spouse's name does not transfer, which is worth knowing if a reader has seen Latvian or Lithuanian files where the opposite is true.
Yes. DHCTranslations charges $0.14 per word from English into Estonian, written by a native speaker rather than adapted from Finnish.
