Household registration translation
Certified translation of household books, household registration records and similar family-registration documents into English for immigration, legal, family and other official use. Upload every relevant page and include any instructions from the organisation receiving the translation.
Multi-entry family records
A household book can contain several family-member records, registered addresses, relationship descriptions, dates, status changes and official notes across multiple pages. The English translation should keep those entries clearly connected.
Some countries use household registration books or records often described in English as a household register or hukou-type document. The exact format varies, so the translation should follow the source record rather than assume a standard layout.
