Certified Birth Certificate Translation (USCIS & IRCC)

Government agencies, immigration offices, and universities often require a certified birth certificate translation—not just a “regular” translation—because the document is used to confirm identity and family relationships in official processes. If a translation is incomplete, unclear, or missing proper certification, it can lead to avoidable delays and document rework.

ForeignDocumentTranslation.com (Prime Language Services) provides certified and notarized translations with a service built specifically for official use. Our certified translations are guaranteed for USCIS and IRCC, and we regularly translate immigration documents such as birth certificates and other vital records.


What makes a birth certificate translation “USCIS‑ready”?

USCIS rules require that any foreign‑language document submitted must include a full English translation, along with a certification from the translator confirming the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate into English. That’s why format, completeness (including stamps/notes), and the certification statement matter—not just “good English.”


Pricing (simple and transparent)

For certified documents, we offer a straightforward flat rate: $26.99 per page for documents with 250 words or less. If a page contains more than 250 words, pricing is charged by word count starting at $0.09 per word.


Turnaround time & delivery (fast, with a clear process)

Most customers receive their translation the following morning, and we guarantee 48‑hour delivery (excluding weekends) for smaller orders (per our published FAQ/service terms). For larger orders, timing may extend to protect quality—if you need an exact estimate, you can request a quote or email the documents for a delivery timeframe.

Delivery is flexible: finalized translations are emailed (typical for USCIS use), and certified/notarized translations can also be sent via USPS Priority Mail when needed.


Quality control (translation + review)

Your project is handled with a quality workflow: a certified expert translator completes the translation, and then a second translator/editor proofreads it to ensure accuracy and consistency. This is especially important for birth certificates where names, places, dates, and registration details must match the source document exactly.


What we need from you (no originals required)

You don’t need to mail original documents. A scan, clear photo, image, or faxed copy is sufficient to start your birth certificate translation order. 1

Our process is simple:

  1. Upload your document (scan/photo) and enter details
  2. Translation & review (we send it for your comments if needed)
  3. Delivery by email (and USPS Priority Mail if requested)

Certified vs. notarized (quick clarification)

For immigration: USCIS does not require notarized translations—it requires certified translations. Notarization can be required by other institutions (some universities/colleges/agencies), so we provide notarized options when your destination organization asks for it.


Languages & trust

We translate from nearly all languages into English and vice versa, including common immigration languages such as Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, French, German, Chinese (Mandarin/Cantonese), Arabic, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, and more.

We’re also recommended by immigration attorneys, and our reviews include feedback from law offices and immigration clients who use us for USCIS filings and time‑sensitive document submissions (including birth certificate translations).


Privacy & security

Your files are stored on secure servers and are only accessible to the linguists working on your translation. Files are backed up daily, retained for up to two years and then deleted (or can be deleted earlier upon formal request). Payment details are not stored, and payments are processed securely with 128‑bit SSL encryption.
