When USCIS asks for it
- To adjust your status to permanent resident (Form I-485), which asks for your birth certificate.
- To petition for a relative (Form I-130), when the relationship is proven with birth certificates: parents and children, or siblings.
- In other cases where USCIS asks you to prove your identity, your age or your parentage.
What the translation includes
- All the text on the certificate, including the parents' and grandparents' details when they appear.
- Seals, signatures, stamps, and folio or book numbers.
- Marginal notes or annotations, such as acknowledgments or corrections. USCIS requires the full translation, not a summary.
It's what the USCIS rule requires for documents in another language: 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3).
How many pages it usually has
Most birth certificates are one page. If the back has seals, an apostille or annotations, it counts as one more page.
Each side with text, seals or signatures counts as one page, and you pay for the pages you indicate. The price is $15 per page for 1 to 4 pages, $14 per page for 5 to 9 pages and $13 per page for 10 or more pages. For example, if your birth certificate has 1 page, the translation costs $15 and we deliver it in 24 to 48 hours.
Before you take the photos
- Use the full certificate (also called long form or unabridged), the one that shows the parents' names.
- Photograph the back too if anything is written or stamped on it.
- Check that numbers and dates are easy to read: they are the first thing USCIS compares.
Questions about this document
Does a recent birth certificate work, or an old one?
We translate the one you send us. Which version to submit is up to USCIS, depending on your case; if you're unsure which document to submit, ask whoever is advising you on your case.
My name is spelled differently on other documents. Will you fix it?
We translate exactly what the certificate says, even if it contains an error. We can add a translator's note pointing out the difference, but we don't change the content of the original.
