When one person has two document trails
Cross-border families frequently hold a Mexican acta and a US record for the same person, or a Mexican acta and a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, with names arranged differently on each. Mexican convention gives a paternal and a maternal surname; US records commonly compress the maternal surname into a middle name or drop it.
The translator's job here is narrow and important: render the Mexican document exactly as it reads. Do not adjust it to match the US record. An adjudicator comparing the two needs to see the actual difference in order to resolve it — a translation that has quietly harmonised them has removed the evidence they were assessing.
Where a filing depends on explaining the discrepancy, that is a matter for a cover letter or an affidavit, not for the translation.
Detained dockets and short deadlines
The San Diego Immigration Court hears a detained docket, where hearing dates arrive with very little notice and evidence has to be filed quickly. Expedited translation is available when a standard 24-hour turnaround will not reach the date on the notice.

Questions fréquemment posées
My Mexican and US documents show my name differently. What do you do?
We translate the Mexican document exactly as it reads. Harmonising it with the US record would remove the discrepancy the adjudicator needs to see and resolve.
Should both surnames be in the translation?
Yes, exactly as printed. The maternal surname is not a middle name.
Can you meet a detained hearing deadline?
Often. Expedited service runs at +50% for 6-8 hours and +100% for 1-3 hours. Send the date first and we will confirm before taking payment.
Do you have a San Diego office?
No. Our only office is in Edgewater, New Jersey.
