Multilingual civil status extracts (Forms A, B, C) Translation

Form A (birth), Form B (marriage) and Form C (death) are international civil status extracts issued in multiple languages under the 1976 Vienna Convention. Türkiye is a party to this Convention, and civil registry directorates issue these documents.

The distinguishing feature of these documents is that, as a rule, they are accepted in countries party to the Convention without translation and in most cases without additional legalization — obtaining the correct document can therefore eliminate translation costs entirely. Translation is needed for applications to countries that are not parties to the Convention or where an authority does not recognize the form and requires a standard extract. Our service on this page covers both aspects: we tell you whether a multilingual form is sufficient for your file and prepare the translation if needed.

Which institutions request this document?

• Authorities in countries not party to the Convention — together with a translation
• Institutions that do not recognize the form and require a standard document
• Foreign courts and notaries — for a complete file
• Institutions in Türkiye — sometimes for multilingual forms obtained abroad

Certification requirements

Preparing your document

• Tell us whether your destination country is a party to the Convention; we can make the initial check together
• Make sure all fields are completed and the stamps are legible
• If the authority requires a standard civil registry extract, that document must be used instead of the multilingual form
