A good friend is a certified translator. Her name is Mitzi Clare Nash Amat. Her cell is 6669-4786, email mitziclarenash@hotmail.com, website www.otralenguatranslations.webs.com. Mitzi is also a CL member.

I am so sorry to hear this.

What U.S. officials are requesting a death certificate translated into English? The normal procedure, unless something has changed recently, is to send the Panamanian death certificate to the U.S. Embassy in Panama City, whereupon they issue the death certificate in English. See https://pa.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/death-of-a-u-s-citizen/

Notify the U.S. embassy of the death.  They will send you a death certificate in English good for use in the U.S.  They send several copies.  They will also take care of reporting the death to Social Security.

Mitzi Clare Nash is an excellent certified translator.
