Birth Certificate Translation emailed by Rev

[mikiekwoods 0]

We had a French birth certificate (interview in Brazil) sent by Rev tanslation service by email. The notarized version won't be shipped in time for the interview. It still looks pretty official. Will the they accept it?

If not we were considering translating ourselves and signing it. Not sure where we could get it notarized though.

Interview is on Tuesday (if their computers work)

Nope. It needs to be notarized. The notarization does not attest the document is translated correctly but certifiing the signature of the translator. You can translate it yourself and sign it in front of any notary and have them stamp it. Did you check the Brazil embassy website?

The translator should use this statement at the bottom, then have a notary stamp it when they sign it...

• Translations: If your documents are written in Portuguese or English, there is NO need to translate them. If the documents are in other languages, these must be accompanied by official translations to English. Look for an official translation to do it. The translated document must contain a statement by the translator atesting that: the translation is correct, done by a competent translator and with the notarization of his/her signature.
