Certified document translation

Birth certificate translation for USCIS

Prepare a readable, accurate birth certificate translation with certification options reviewed for the receiving requirement.

Lincua translates birth certificates for immigration filings and other official uses. This focused service remains part of Lincua's broader certified document translation offering; USCIS and other agencies make their own filing decisions.

What the project covers

The translation reproduces the readable text in the source birth certificate, including names, dates, places, annotations, seals, and other visible content as applicable.

  • Source-to-English translation when requested
  • Review of names, dates, numbers, and visible annotations
  • Formatting appropriate to the agreed deliverable
  • Signed certification when applicable and confirmed

Certification and USCIS boundaries

A certified translation may include a signed statement addressing completeness, accuracy, and translator competence. Lincua is not USCIS-certified or government-approved, does not provide immigration legal advice, and cannot guarantee acceptance or an immigration outcome.

Helpful answers

Birth certificate translation questions

Can Lincua translate a birth certificate for a USCIS filing?

Yes. Lincua can review birth certificates for certified translation used with USCIS filings. The source document, language pair, legibility, names, dates, and receiving requirements must be reviewed before confirmation.

What does the certification include?

The deliverable may include a signed certification addressing completeness, accuracy, and translator competence. Certification is not a promise that USCIS or another organization will accept a filing.

Is notarization required?

Certification and notarization are different. Notarization may be available when requested, but the customer should identify the receiving organization's requirement.

How do I provide the document?

Contact Lincua first with the language pair, page count, deadline, and intended use. Online upload is not enabled on this page; the team will confirm an appropriate delivery method for source material.

How long will it take?

A standard project may take approximately 48 hours after readable source material and requirements are confirmed. Rush service may be available, but timing is not guaranteed before review.
