About the Haitian Creole language.
Haitian Creole (Kreyòl ayisyen) is one of Haiti's two official languages, alongside French, and the language spoken by nearly everyone in the country. It is a French-based creole with its own grammar and spelling, written in the Latin alphabet under a standard orthography. We also translate Papiamento, another language of the Caribbean.
Haitian Creole is not French. Much of its vocabulary comes from French, but grammar and spelling are different. Community communication should be in Creole, not French. Many Haitian official records are issued in French. If your document is in French, see French translation. For health and public information, plain, everyday Creole reaches readers better than formal wording.
Haitian Creole to English is usually personal statements, letters and community material. English to Haitian Creole is usually public information, health messaging and community notices.
Where a document or statement is in Haitian Creole, a certified translation is available. For affidavits and personal statements, tell us the receiving authority. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.

Certified Haitian Creole translation
For official documents, tell us which institution will receive your Haitian Creole translation and send its written requirements. We assess the language pair and confirm whether the project needs a signed statement of accuracy, a sworn translator or another process. Acceptance is decided by the receiving institution.
Common documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, degree certificates and police clearance certificates. Requirements differ between courts, embassies, universities and immigration authorities, so tell us where the Haitian Creole translation will be submitted and send any written instructions you have. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
Haitian Creole legal translation
