Marriage Certificate Translation in New York City
The Office of the City Clerk records every marriage licensed in the five boroughs, and its Marriage Bureau in Manhattan is also where many couples marry - including visitors from abroad who then need the certificate recognised at home. For them, the City Clerk issues an extended certificate for foreign use.
The foreign certificates coming the other way, for spousal petitions, are as varied as the city.

Bangladeshi nikahnamas
Jackson Heights, Kensington in Brooklyn and Parkchester in the Bronx have large Bangladeshi communities. A Muslim marriage in Bangladesh is registered by a government-licensed Nikah Registrar, and the record is the nikahnama: a standard multi-column form in Bengali that sets out the dower, or den mohor, how much of it was paid, and whether the husband delegated a right of divorce to the wife.
Every column is translated, including the ones left blank, because a blank entry is part of the record. Hindu marriages in Bangladesh can be registered too, but registration is optional, so many couples hold only a ceremony certificate or affidavits.
