Birth Certificate Translation Services

Certified birth certificate translation accepted by USCIS, UKVI, courts and universities. Full translation, certificate of accuracy, 1–2 day turnaround.

Need your birth certificate translated and certified? We deliver a complete, word-for-word English translation of your birth certificate with a signed certificate of accuracy, accepted by USCIS, UKVI, courts, universities and employers. Standard certificates are ready in 1–2 business days.

A birth certificate is the most-requested document we handle, because almost every official process, from immigration and marriage to school enrollment and a passport application, asks for proof of birth. When that certificate is in another language, you need a certified translation, not just a rough one.

When you need a certified birth certificate translation

You’ll be asked for one when a foreign-language birth certificate supports an official application:

  • Green card, visa and citizenship filings
  • Getting married (proof of identity and age)
  • School and university enrollment
  • Passport and national ID applications
  • Court and probate matters

If your filing is a US immigration case specifically, read our step-by-step guide to birth certificate translation for USCIS, which covers the exact federal requirement.

What’s included

Every birth certificate translation we produce is:

  • Complete: all names, dates, places, certificate numbers, official seals, stamps and any handwritten notes.
  • Certified: accompanied by a signed certificate of accuracy with the translator’s details.
  • Format-matched: laid out to mirror the original so an officer can compare them side by side.

We translate birth certificates from and into every language in our network; see the full list of languages we translate.

FAQ

Does my birth certificate translation need to be notarized? For USCIS, no: certification is enough. Some authorities request notarization; we add it when needed.

Will it be accepted by USCIS and UKVI? Yes. Our certified translations meet both standards, and we revise free of charge if an officer raises a formatting query.
