Notarized translation of documents

Birth Certificate Translation into English

A birth certificate is one of the most important personal documents, containing information about date and place of birth, parental details, and can also confirm nationality and serve as identification for minors.

Why do I need to get my Birth Certificate translated into English?

Translation of such a certificate into English may be required in a variety of situations, such as:

  • Immigration processes: When applying for residency, citizenship, or when submitting documents to immigration authorities in English-speaking countries.
  • Traveling with underage children: When traveling abroad with children to prove parentage, especially if the child and parents have different last names.
  • Study abroad: To enroll in a foreign university, college, or school.
  • Proof of relationship: For visa applications and legal situations such as inheritance or court proceedings.
  • Confirmation of Maiden Name: In cases where a woman has changed her name after marriage, the birth certificate may serve as proof of her former name.
  • Getting medical care abroad: To apply for health insurance or receive medical services in another country as proof of age and identity.
  • Leaving for long-term residence: If you are moving to an English-speaking country, a translation of your birth certificate is an essential part of the paperwork package.

What should I look out for?

  • Transliteration of first and last names: The correct spelling of a name in Latin is one of the keys. It is important that the transliteration matches the spelling on your passport or other official documents. A mismatch can cause confusion and problems when submitting documents. If you already have translations of other documents, it is better to stick to the same spelling.
  • Spelling of patronymic: In passports of the Russian Federation, the patronymic is not written in Latin script, so it is often omitted. However, some countries or authorities may require the patronymic. Clarify this in advance.
  • Uniformity: If you are preparing a package of documents and you have translations of other personal papers, it is important to follow a unified pattern of translating issuing authorities, other important information. This will help you avoid mistakes and problems when processing your paperwork.
  • Translation of seals, stamps: If there are additional stamps on your birth certificate (e.g., on passport issuance, recognition of citizenship, apostille), they must also be translated.
  • Formatting: The translation should be formatted according to the original, including the arrangement of text, stamps, and other marks.
  • Official certification: Depending on where you plan to submit your documents, you may need to have them notarized or stamped by a translation agency.

How to certify a translation of a birth certificate

Depending on the rules of the receiving country, the translated birth certificate may be certified in one of two ways:

Notarization: required for official documents to be submitted to government agencies, embassies, consulates, educational institutions, and is also a mandatory step for Apostille or Consular legalization.

Certification by the Translator's Seal: In cases where notarization is not required. It confirms that the work has been done by a qualified professional and has been checked for accuracy.
