About the Yucatec Maya language.
Yucatec Maya (Maaya t'aan) is spoken on the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, in Yucatán, Campeche and Quintana Roo, and in northern Belize. It is one of the most widely spoken Indigenous languages of Mexico and a recognised national language under Mexico's 2003 law on Indigenous linguistic rights. It is a Mayan language written in the Latin alphabet. Other Mayan languages we translate include K'iche', Kaqchikel, Mam and Q'eqchi'.
Yucatec Maya is tonal and uses an apostrophe for glottalised sounds. It is often simply called "Maya", but it is one of about thirty Mayan languages, so we check which one a document is in before quoting.
Mexican official documents are issued in Spanish, which we also translate. Yucatec Maya work is usually health, education and community information, tourism and cultural material, research, and interpreting.
We translate in both directions, including Yucatec Maya into English or Spanish. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.

For official documents, tell us which institution will receive your Yucatec Maya 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 Yucatec Maya 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.
