Common questions

Birth Certificate Translation FAQ

How do I get a birth certificate translated for USCIS?

The process is straightforward. Scan or photograph your birth certificate — including any stamps, seals, or annotations — and send it to us. We assign an ATA-certified translator who specializes in the source language and country of origin. The translator produces a complete English translation and a Certificate of Accuracy stating that the translation is complete, accurate, and that they are competent to translate that language. You receive the translation and certificate as a PDF, which you print and include in your USCIS filing. Most birth certificate translations are completed in 2–5 business days from document receipt.

What does a certified birth certificate translation include?

A certified birth certificate translation packet includes the complete English translation of every element in the original document, a copy of the original document for reference, and the Certificate of Accuracy signed by the translator. The Certificate of Accuracy contains the translator's full name, professional credentials, date, and declaration that the translation is complete and accurate. The translation renders every visible element of the birth certificate, including main text, registration numbers, official stamps and seals, notary signatures, corrections, and marginal annotations. All elements must be translated for USCIS compliance.

Do you translate birth certificates from all countries?

Yes. We translate birth certificates from every country in the world. The most common origin countries we handle include Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Philippines, China, India, Vietnam, South Korea, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and all others. We are particularly experienced with countries that use complex civil registry systems, historical notarial records, or handwritten certificates from rural registration offices. If you have an unusual or rare document format, contact us before ordering and we can confirm the specific approach.

How much does birth certificate translation cost?

A standard birth certificate translation is $24.99 per page. Most birth certificates are one page and cost $24.99 total. Some multi-page certificates (such as family record books or historical registry extracts) cost more based on page count. Rush delivery (48 hours) is $31.24/page. Same-day delivery is $37.49/page. Notarization of the Certificate of Accuracy — required by some state courts and foreign consulates — costs an additional $40 flat fee regardless of page count. All prices include the Certificate of Accuracy at no extra charge.

How fast can I get a birth certificate translated?

Standard birth certificate translation is delivered in 2–5 business days. For urgent needs, rush delivery (48 hours) is available at $31.24/page. Same-day delivery is available at $37.49/page for orders received before noon Eastern time — you will receive your translation before end of business on the same day. If you have a specific filing deadline, immigration interview date, or passport appointment, let us know and we will accommodate the timeline. We have translated birth certificates in under three hours for emergency visa and passport situations.

Does the birth certificate translation need to be notarized?

USCIS does not require notarization — a certified translation with the translator's Certificate of Accuracy is sufficient under 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3). The US Department of State (for passports) also does not require notarization. However, some state courts, probate proceedings, adoption agencies, and foreign consulates do require a notarized translation. If you're submitting to a state court in particular, check the local court rules. Adding notarization costs $40 and can be added at any time during the ordering process.
