When a foreign national dies in Washington
With so many embassies, international organisations and foreign students in the city, a death in DC often has to be reported to another country. The embassy's consular section usually needs the DC death certificate to register the death at home or to arrange repatriation, and many ask for it apostilled.
What the embassy wants of the translation varies: some translate it themselves, some require their own accredited translators, others accept a certified translation. Ask first - the funeral home handling a repatriation often knows what that embassy expects.
