Requirements for translated birth certificates vary depending on the government agency or organization receiving the document.

To help meet common requirements, a professional translation should accurately reflect all visible text on the birth certificate and may need to include a signed certification of accuracy from the translator. Depending on the receiving agency, notarization or other certification may also be required.

B. Elise Notary Services facilitates document translations through an ATA-certified translation partner and can coordinate related notarization when applicable.

Before requesting a translation, we strongly recommend confirming the specific requirements with the government agency or organization that will receive the document. The receiving party ultimately determines whether a translation meets its requirements.

When submitting your translation request, please let us know where and for what purpose the translated birth certificate will be used so those requirements can be considered.
