Am a proficient speaker/writer/listener of Castellano, Mexicano, Spanish, what have you . I am an aspiring Interpreter (UN here come !!lol) Any practise and chance to decipher bureaucratese is a blessing. Clayton

Re: Translation services-INM-Marriage License Posted by S Held on September 25, 2023, 5:55 am, in reply to "Translation services-INM-Marriage License" When we were working on residency, from USA, there was only one “acceptable” translator in Calif. It was a Sacramento govt agency. The certificate had to be apostillated, not just translated. It involved sending originals and $20 or $30 and waiting. I hope you are after something easier, but that was our experience.

Re: Translation services-INM-Marriage License Posted by Steve N on September 25, 2023, 7:42 am, in reply to "Re: Translation services-INM-Marriage License" We were recently informed that it must be done by a recognized official translator. Sombra has the info.

Re: Translation services-INM-Marriage License Posted by Dan Patman on September 25, 2023, 9:57 am, in reply to "Re: Translation services-INM-Marriage License" The only accepted options in this area (unless there is a new person) are: Teresa Merriman: teresa.gmerriman @ gmail.com Cel:315 104 1033 (has an office in Cihuatlan) Diana Gutierrez: I can't find her email Cel: 315 107 8689 (Diana is a teacher in CECYTEJ, so might not always answer her phone in school hours). Both are federally recognised translators (perito traductor) for any officially needed translation at any level here in Mexico. You will pay for the stamp/seal that accompanies their work but it avoids wasted time.

Re: Translation services-INM-Marriage License Posted by Brooke S on September 28, 2023, 9:20 pm, in reply to "Re: Translation services-INM-Marriage License" Thank you Dan, that’s the answer I was looking for. My email to Diana keeps getting bounced back, so apparently I have an old or incorrect one. Can you give me an idea how long it takes to get a simple one-page marriage license translated and stamped? We are on a tight timeframe and trying to schedule things ahead of time. Muchas gracias!

Re: Translation services-INM-Marriage License Posted by Dan Patman on September 29, 2023, 10:23 am, in reply to "Re: Translation services-INM-Marriage License" It shouldn't take more than a day or two at the absolute max. And if you ask nicely and say it is a tight timescale, I am sure she will do it. Did you get her email correct? I saw Elke's post with a picture of the card and it jogged my memory and her card is not the clearest. It is: cabadi10 @ hotmail.com Hope this helps.

Re: Translation services-INM-Marriage License Posted by Brooke S on September 29, 2023, 12:08 pm, in reply to "Re: Translation services-INM-Marriage License" Thank you so much, Dan! Now I know why my emails were bouncing, I read the “a”s on her card as “o”s. Great information and wonderful advice, you are very much appreciated!
