Birth certificates are important legal documents that identify who
you are, where and when you were born, your parents nationality and identity
and other information. Every country has its own birth certificates and every
person who is a national of that country and was born there should have their original
birth certificate. For more information please visit Birth Certificate Translation Uscis.
Birth certificates tend to get lost or mislaid quite often, mainly
because many people feel they are much less important than passports or driving
licenses as a form of identification. Fortunately, most countries allow anyone
who was born in that country to recover a lost or stolen birth certificate if
they no longer have one. It is often only when you are asked for the first time
to show a copy of your birth certificate that you realize that it is important
after all. For more information please visit Uscis Translation Birth Certificate.
You usually need a birth certificate when you apply for a passport
of your own country of citizenship. You may also need a birth certificate when
applying for citizenship of the country you have lived in for some time and migrated
to. Because the country you are now living in may not speak the same language
as your country of origin, it is very likely that your birth certificate is not
in a language that can be accepted by the authority or department that approves
citizenship applications. That’s when you may need to translate a birth certificate into English or whatever the language
is of the country you are now living. For more information please visit Uscis Birth Certificate Translation.
In the U.S., for example, the federal government agency that deals
with all immigration and citizenship applications is the U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Service (U.S.C.I.S.). If you are a green card holder, you will have
dealt with the U.S.C.I.S. before, perhaps many times. You will have known that
the U.S.C.I.S. does not accept any important documents that are not in English.
If you have got to the stage that you are applying for U.S. citizenship, you
will be asked to provide a copy of your birth certificate even if you have
already done so before. If your birth certificate is not in English, then you
will need to find someone to translate
the birth certificate into English. For more information please visit Legal Documents Translation.
The U.S.C.I.S. in particular has quite exacting criteria when it
comes to translating documents. As far as documents go, birth certificates
might not seem like very complicated pieces of paper, but they do have written on
them very precise bits of information. Every word must be translated literally
from the original language into English. If there are any sections of the
certificate that are hard to read because words are missing, the writing is
smudged or torn, then this might lead to the translated copy being rejected. For more information please visit Official Translation Document
If at all possible, it may be sensible to obtain a new copy of
your birth certificate from your country of birth. If not, make sure you use a
certified translator used to dealing with birth certificate translations. They
will need to produce a signed certificate when they have finished with any of
your documents to confirm that the originals have been translated accurately.
