What Is a Certified Birth Certificate Translation?

What Is a Certified Birth Certificate Translation?

A certified translation of a birth certificate is an officially recognized translation provided by a professional translator or agency. It comes with a signed statement affirming its accuracy and completeness, so government authorities, educational institutions and employers accept it. USCIS, DMVs and passport offices only accept birth certificate translations that come with a signed certification statement, and a missing translation of a seal or an inconsistent name spelling is the most common reason these get rejected.

Birth Certificate Translation for USCIS and Form I-485

USCIS requires a certified English translation of every foreign-language birth certificate. When you submit Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, your translation must include all seals, signatures and certifications. Filing Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, may also require a birth certificate translation. See what USCIS asks for in a Form I-130 petition. We stay up to date with the latest regulations in the US, Canada and the UK, and we have a 100% USCIS acceptance rate.

Who Needs Certified Birth Certificate Translations?

Who Needs Certified Birth Certificate Translations?

If you are applying for a visa, permanent residency or citizenship in another country, government authorities typically require a translated and certified copy of your birth certificate. Dual citizenship applications, courts, schools and universities, and local, state and federal agencies ask for one too, and so do students studying abroad, people getting married internationally and people involved in legal disputes. Without proper certification, your documents may face rejection, delaying your plans.

A birth certificate is rarely the only foreign-language document in an immigration file. USCIS asks for a certified English translation of every supporting document that is not in English, and each one comes with the same signed certificate of accuracy.

Before You Upload Your Birth Certificate

A few minutes of checking before you upload helps you avoid the two most common reasons a birth certificate translation gets rejected: a seal or stamp left out and a name spelled differently from your other documents.

  • Upload a clear, complete copy: A photo from your phone or a scan works, as long as every line, stamp and seal is readable. If there are notes, stamps or annotations on the back, upload the back as well, because we translate those too.
  • Check the source language: Make sure our system detected the language of your birth certificate correctly, and select English as the target.
  • Tell us how names should be spelled: If your passport or other documents spell a name in a specific way, write it in the note to our translators field, so the translation matches the rest of your file.
  • Know what your office asks for: USCIS needs a certified translation and does not require notarization. Free digital notarization is included, and a printed, wet-signed copy can be mailed to a US address if the office asks for one.
