To get a certified translation of a birth certificate, submit your original document to a professional certified translation agency. At PoliLingua, you simply upload a scan of your birth certificate through our online portal, specify your target language, and our certified birth certificate translation service takes care of the rest. The translated document is reviewed and signed by a qualified translator, accompanied by a certification statement confirming accuracy and completeness. PoliLingua's certified translation of birth certificate services are accepted by USCIS, embassies, and government bodies worldwide. Turnaround is typically 24–48 hours.

A certified translation includes the complete, accurate translation of the source document into the target language, a signed certification statement by the translator or agency attesting to the accuracy and completeness of the translation, the translator's credentials and contact information, and in some cases a stamp or seal. PoliLingua's certified document translation services include all required elements for acceptance by USCIS, immigration authorities, courts, and government institutions. We also provide notarisation and apostille services on request. Every certified English translation we deliver meets the standards required for official submission.

Certified translations do not have a standard expiry date, the translation itself remains valid indefinitely as an accurate representation of the original document at the time of translation. However, the accepting authority, such as USCIS or a university, may impose their own validity requirements, typically accepting translations completed within 12 months. If the original document changes or you receive a new version, a fresh certified translation will be needed. PoliLingua recommends checking with the receiving authority for their specific requirements. Our certified translation services team can advise on what's needed for your particular jurisdiction and purpose.

Standard certified translation services at PoliLingua are typically delivered within 24–48 hours for most personal documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and diplomas. Larger or more complex documents may take 3–5 business days. Rush and same-day options are available for urgent requests at an additional fee. Our certified document translation services are designed to meet the tight deadlines often imposed by immigration applications, visa requests, and court proceedings.

A certified translation includes a translator's signed statement attesting to its accuracy, accepted by most government and immigration bodies. A notarised translation goes further: a notary public verifies the translator's signature and identity, adding an additional layer of legal authority, often required for use in legal proceedings. An apostilled translation carries an apostille, an official government certificate validating the document for use in countries party to the Hague Convention. We provide all three levels, certified document translation services, notarisation coordination, and apostille support. Our team advises which level is required based on your destination country and purpose.

Yes, USCIS, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, requires that all foreign-language documents submitted with immigration applications be accompanied by a full certified English translation. The translator must certify that the translation is accurate and complete, and must provide their name and address. PoliLingua has been providing USCIS certified translation services for over 20 years, with translations accepted by USCIS for birth certificates, marriage certificates, passports, court records, and more across 100+ languages. Our certified translation services comply fully with USCIS requirements.
