How Much Does Birth Certificate Translation Cost?
Birth certificate translation starts at $19.99/page for eligible standard clear records.

What Counts as a Page?
A page is any side that needs translation.
Birth certificates are often described as one document, but the translation scope follows the actual pages and sides. If the back includes official text, stamps, seals, notes, or signatures, include it with the front.
| File type | Pricing path | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| Clear one-page birth certificate | $19.99/page starting price | Use Start Your Order when the scan is complete and readable. |
| Front and back scan | Back side may count if it has text | Upload both sides so stamps, seals, registry notes, and signatures are reviewed. |
| Old, handwritten, amended, or faded record | Quote review first | Use Get a Quote before payment. |
| Multiple birth records or family packet | Quoted by scope | Send the full packet when the count or recipient instructions are unclear. |
Certified Birth Certificate Translation for USCIS-Purpose Filings
USCIS-purpose filings generally need a complete English translation with a signed translator certification.
Corpus translates birth certificates for USCIS-purpose document submissions and includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy with certified translations. The translation should cover the complete record, including registration details, parent-name fields, stamps, seals, notes, and signatures when they appear.
Corpus provides certified document translation. A certified translation cannot control an agency decision, case approval, or immigration result.
Details That Can Affect Review
| Detail | Why it matters | What to upload |
|---|---|---|
| Parent-name fields | Names, accents, and field labels must be handled consistently. | Upload the clearest front scan. |
| Stamps and seals | Official markings may need translation or notation. | Show the complete mark, not a cropped corner. |
| Back-side notes | Some records include certification text, registry notes, or signatures. | Upload the back side even if it looks mostly blank. |
| Country-specific formats | Formats vary: acta de nacimiento, registro civil, 出生证明, giấy khai sinh, shenasnameh excerpts, and more. | Send the full document as issued. |

Birth Certificate Translation FAQ
How much does it cost to translate a birth certificate?
Standard clear birth certificate translation starts at $19.99/page. The final total depends on how many pages or sides need translation.
Should I upload both sides?
Yes. Upload front and back. If the back side has official text, stamps, seals, signatures, or notes, it may need translation or notation.
Can I order online?
Yes. Use Start Your Order for clear standard civil records with a known page count. Use Get a Quote for multi-page exhibits, screenshots, article packets, handwriting, unclear page counts, or recipient-specific instructions.
Where should the certified translation go in an I-485 packet?
Keep the source document or copy, the complete English translation, and the signed translator certification together so the translation is easy to match to the birth certificate. This is document-organization guidance for the translation packet, not filing instructions.
Does Corpus issue apostilles for birth certificates?
No. Corpus prepares certified translations; apostille and legalization requirements are set by the receiving authority. Check that authority's instructions if an apostille is mentioned.
Can certified translation control an immigration decision?
No. Corpus provides certified document translation and can correct translation-format issues. Corpus does not advise on immigration strategy or immigration results.
