It comes with a signed statement affirming its accuracy and completeness. This ensures that the translation is legally valid for submission to government authorities, educational institutions, or employers.
Birth Certificate Translation for Immigration
Certified translations are often required for immigration purposes, applying for dual citizenship, legal disputes, or enrolling in schools and universities. Without proper certification, your documents may face rejection, delaying your plans. This type of translation is often required for submission to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), as well as universities, courts, and various local, state, and federal government agencies.
/f/84976/1000x1000/4c78a67996/what-is-a-certified-translation-for-birth-certificates-en.png)
USCIS requires a certified English translation of every foreign-language birth certificate. MotaWord has a team of 26,000+ professional translators working collaboratively, with careful attention to the smallest details, name spellings, and conventions of the source and target languages.
For immigration purposes, particularly when submitting documents to USCIS, only a standard signed certification of the translation is necessary. USCIS does not require notarization of the certified translation, but it’s always a good idea to double-check the specific requirements of the organization or agency to which you are submitting your documents.
