Haitian Mortgage Application Translation

Haitian mortgage application translation for a US lender that needs your Haitian paperwork in English: an attestation bancaire, payslips from an employer in Port-au-Prince, a titre de propriété for land you own in Haiti, or a gift letter from a parent. The documents are French, with Creole in any letter a relative wrote by hand.

What a lender sees from Haiti and what it means

An underwriter wants each foreign document to answer one question, and the Haitian version answers it in a form the lender has not seen before.

Income: attestation de travail and fiches de paie

A Haitian employer confirms a job with an attestation de travail or an attestation de salaire, a short letter on letterhead giving the position, the start date and the monthly salary in gourdes or dollars, stamped and signed. Payslips, where they exist, show the gross salary, the ONA pension deduction, the OFATMA health and accident contribution and the income tax withheld. The translation expands ONA and OFATMA once, as the Office National d'Assurance-Vieillesse and the Office d'Assurance Accidents du Travail, Maladie et Maternité, and keeps the figures as printed.

Assets: the titre and the acte de vente

Property in Haiti is proved by a notarial acte de vente or a titre de propriété drawn up by a notaire, and older titles are handwritten. The lender wants to know what you own and roughly what it is worth. We translate the acte in full, including the chain of earlier owners the notaire recites, and keep the land measures, the carreau and the centième, with a metric equivalent in a note.

Deposits from Haiti and gift letters

A down payment wired from a Haitian account, or a gift from a parent in Haiti, has to be sourced. The underwriter wants the Haitian statement showing the funds leaving, the SWIFT advice, and a gift letter, which a Haitian relative may write in Creole or have a notaire draw up in French. We translate the three as one order so the names and the amounts match across them.

Who is asking for your Haitian Creole mortgage application translation?

The translation is the same. What changes is whether the recipient wants anything added to it.

Banks and mortgage lenders

A US lender underwriting a buyer with foreign income or assets accepts a certified translation of each document. Digital delivery as a PDF is usually enough; ask for a hard copy if they want one.

Lenders and notaries abroad

Buying property in another country usually means the bank or the notary there wants your US documents translated, notarized and sometimes apostilled. Tell us the country in your order notes.

USCIS

A joint mortgage is common evidence in a marriage-based petition. USCIS asks for a complete English translation and a signed certification from the translator. No notarization is needed.

Before you upload

Three things that save a day of back and forth on a Haitian Creole mortgage application.

01

Gather the lender's checklist first

Lenders ask for pay slips, bank statements, tax returns and proof of assets alongside the application. Upload the set in one order so the names and figures are consistent across every document.

02

Send the pages that support the numbers

An employment letter or a property deed is often referenced on the form. Include each supporting document in full, with stamps and signatures, rather than only the summary page.

03

Tell us the spelling and the currency

Give us the applicant names as the passport spells them. Amounts stay in the original currency and the translation does not convert them, so ask the lender whether they want a conversion note.

Haitian Creole Mortgage Application FAQ

Most questions about pricing and turnaround can be answered faster by requesting a quote.

Request a Quote

Do US lenders accept income earned in Haiti?
Some do, most prefer US income, and the lender decides, not the translator. Where foreign income is allowed, the lender asks for an English translation of each document with a signed certification, which is what we provide. The lender will also want the salary converted to dollars; that conversion is the lender's or your own, and the translation keeps the gourde figures as the employer wrote them.
I am buying in Haiti, not in the US. Can you help with that direction?
US lenders do not lend on Haitian property, so a purchase in Haiti is financed by a Haitian bank or paid outright. What we translate into French is what the Haitian bank or the notaire asks of a buyer living in the US: payslips, W-2s, bank statements and a letter from your employer. Ask the bank whether it also wants the originals authenticated before you send the translations.
Can you translate a Haitian bank's loan statement for a US lender?
Yes. If you already carry a loan with Sogebank, Unibank or the BNC on a property in Haiti, the US underwriter counts it as a liability and wants the balance and the monthly payment. The bank issues a relevé de prêt or an attestation de solde showing the capital restant dû, the taux and the échéance mensuelle. We translate that letter and its stamp, usually one page at $25, with the currency as written.
How much does a certified translation cost?
Certified translation is $25 per page, with a page counted as up to 250 words. Notarization, a mailed physical copy and an apostille are optional and priced separately.
How long does a certified translation take?
Standard turnaround starts at 24 hours and depends on the length and language of your documents. If you have a deadline, include it in your quote request.
