Certified Birth Certificate Translation for USCIS and Official Use
A birth certificate is one of the most frequently requested civil documents in U.S. immigration cases. We translate birth certificates into English and over to 80 languages with a certification statement that aligns with USCIS expectations and is also suitable for many other official requests where certified translation is required.
What you receive
You get a complete English translation or other world languages that mirrors the source document’s structure and content — including names, dates, registry numbers, stamps, and seals (when present). Each order is delivered with a signed certification statement confirming the translator’s competence and the translation’s accuracy.
This approach reduces avoidable friction in immigration and official workflows by keeping your documentation clear, consistent, and submission-ready.
Who typically needs a birth certificate translation
Clients usually order a certified birth certificate translation for one of these reasons:
- USCIS filings (green card / adjustment of status, family petitions, asylum, naturalization)
- Attorney-prepared document packages where formatting and consistency matter
- Consular and government procedures that require English documentation
- Education and credential evaluation (schools, universities, admissions)
- Court or administrative requests (only if the authority asks for certified or notarized translation)
If you are submitting multiple civil documents (for example, birth certificate + marriage certificate), we can keep transliteration and key personal data consistent across the entire set.
USCIS Requirements for Birth Certificate Translation
If your birth certificate is not in English, USCIS typically expects a complete English translation accompanied by a signed certification statement confirming accuracy and translator competence. In most cases, certification is required — notarization is not.
What a USCIS-compliant certified translation includes
- Complete English translation of all visible text (including stamps, notes, and margins when applicable)
- Signed certification statement confirming accuracy and completeness
- Translator/agency name, signature, date, and contact details
- Preserved critical elements: names, dates, places, registry numbers, seals/stamps

Certified vs Notarized Birth Certificate Translation
The most common question is whether notarization is required. For USCIS, a certified translation is typically what you need. Notarization may be requested by courts or other institutions — but it does not replace certification.
Certified translation
A certified birth certificate translation includes the English translation plus a signed certification statement confirming accuracy, completeness, and translator competence.
- USCIS: commonly required for foreign-language birth certificates
- You receive: translation + signed certification statement (PDF)
- Best for: green card, visa, asylum, citizenship, attorney-prepared packages
- Typical timeline: 24 hours for most single-page civil documents (urgent options available)
Notarized translation
Notarization verifies the identity of the signer of the certification statement before a notary public. It is an additional formality that some institutions request — it is not automatically required.
- USCIS: generally not required
- You receive: translation + certification, plus notary acknowledgment (when ordered)
- Best for: courts, universities, employers, or agencies that explicitly ask for notarization
- When to order: only if your receiving authority specifies notarized translation
