Birth Certificate Translation Requirements for USCIS
USCIS requires that any foreign-language birth certificate submitted with an immigration application be accompanied by a complete English translation and a certification from the translator. This certification must confirm that the translation is accurate and that the translator is competent to translate.
⚠️ Important: Missing or inaccurate translations can result in processing delays, Requests for Evidence (RFEs), or outright application rejections.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a certified birth certificate translation for USCIS?
A certified birth certificate translation is a complete, word-for-word English translation of your birth certificate accompanied by a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. USCIS requires certified translations to verify that the translation is accurate and completed by a qualified translator.
Does USCIS require a certified translation of my birth certificate?
Yes. If your birth certificate is not in English, USCIS requires a complete certified English translation. The translation must be submitted along with a copy of the original document when filing immigration applications such as Form I-485, Form I-130, citizenship applications, and other USCIS petitions.
Can I translate my own birth certificate for USCIS?
No. USCIS recommends using an independent translator. Self-translations may raise concerns about accuracy and could result in requests for additional evidence. Using a professional certified translation service helps avoid unnecessary delays.
Why does USCIS reject birth certificate translations?
Common reasons USCIS rejects translations include: missing certification statement, incomplete translation of text, omitted stamps, seals, or annotations, translation errors, illegible source documents, and missing translator information.
How much does a certified birth certificate translation cost?
Our certified birth certificate translation service costs only $18 per page, with no hidden fees. Every translation includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy and is accepted by USCIS.
How long does it take to receive my certified translation?
Most birth certificate translations are completed within 24 hours and delivered digitally in PDF format. Expedited same-day service may be available for urgent immigration deadlines.
Do I need to mail the original birth certificate?
No. A clear scan or high-resolution photo of your birth certificate is sufficient. Simply upload your document online, and our translators will prepare your certified translation.

What is the difference between a certified translation and a notarized translation?
A certified translation includes a signed statement confirming the linguistic accuracy of the document and the translator’s credentials. A notarized translation includes an additional notary public signature acknowledging the identity of the person signing the certification. USCIS does not require notarization for standard immigration forms such as Form I-485 or Form I-130; an ATA-certified translation fulfills all federal guidelines.
Will USCIS accept your certified birth certificate translations?
Yes. Our certified translations are prepared according to USCIS translation requirements and include the certification statement required for immigration applications.

Simply upload a clear copy of your birth certificate, place your order online, and receive your USCIS-compliant certified translation by email, often within 24 hours.
Where can I get a certified birth certificate translation near me?

How do I translate a birth certificate for a green card application?
For a green card application, USCIS requires a complete English translation of any foreign-language birth certificate. The translation must include a signed certification statement confirming its accuracy.
