How to Obtain a USCIS Birth Certificate Translation?
For a Birth Certificate translation for USCIS or any other purposes you can use a certified translation agency such as Florida Translate to translate your documents. You should use a certified translation agency to ensure that the translation is done correctly and avoid delays in your case.
In order to translate your document you will need a copy or scan of the original birth certificate.
Do I need to notarize my Birth Certificate Translation?
Depending on your case, you may need a notarized birth certificate translation.
If you only need a birth certificate translation for a USCIS immigration case, you will not need a notarized translation and a simple certified translation will suffice.
Cases that require notarized birth certificate translations often include:
- U.S. Department of State
- Documents that need an apostille
- Documents submitted to financial institutions
How much does a USCIS Birth Certificate translation cost?
Prices for a USCIS birth certificate translation are often between $25-50 per act. Many agencies charge by words and not a set amount per page. This means that longer birth certificates will cost more.
Agencies such as Florida Translate, charge a set per page fee. This means that you will not have to count the number of words to determine a price.
Can I translate my Birth Certificate for my USCIS case?
No. USCIS prohibits translating your own documents. If you or someone close to you translates your documents, this can be seen as a conflict of interest in the case and the translations will be rejected resulting in delays within your case.
Ref: USCIS Manual Section 11.3:
"All documents submitted in support of an application or petition must include complete translation into English. In addition, there must be a certification from the translator indicating that the translation is complete and accurate and attesting to his or her competence as a translator."
This is why we strongly recommend that you obtain a certified translation from a certified translation agency such as Florida Translate.
Am I required to submit a translation for USCIS?
Yes. While USCIS has many officials that speak multiple languages, they require you to submit everything with an English translation.
If you do not submit a translation for your documents, your case will not be seen and you will be required to resubmit the whole case resulting in lengthy delays and high costs.
Additionally, a case being rejected could lead to deportation or expiry of applications and deadlines.
