Certified translation of birth certificates from any country, in any language. One page, $19.99, 24 hours. USCIS-purpose with signed certificate of accuracy included.
The Most Commonly Translated Document
Birth certificates are the #1 document we translate — and for good reason. You need a certified birth certificate translation for:
- USCIS immigration applications — Required for I-130, I-485, N-400, K-1, and virtually every immigration petition
- Passport applications — U.S. passport offices require English translations of foreign birth certificates
- School enrollment — Many school districts require translated birth certificates for student registration
- Driver’s license applications — Some states require a translated birth certificate as proof of identity
- Marriage license applications — County clerks may require a translated birth certificate
- Social Security applications — SSA requires identity documentation in English
- Credential evaluation — WES, ECE, and other agencies require translated birth records
Most birth certificates are one page. That means your certified translation costs exactly $19.99 — with certificate of accuracy and 24-hour delivery included.

What USCIS Requires for Birth Certificate Translation
USCIS requires a complete certified translation of your birth certificate — that means:
1. All printed text translated (names, dates, places, registration numbers)
2. All handwritten entries translated (common in older certificates)
3. All stamps and seals described in the translation
4. All marginal annotations translated (name corrections, legitimation notes)
5. A signed certificate of accuracy included
An incomplete translation — one that skips a stamp or ignores an annotation — can trigger a Request for Evidence (RFE) and delay your case. Learn more about USCIS requirements →
