[Jeff and Sofia 0]

Need birth certificate translated from Spanish to English for AOS.

Any recommendations on where to get this or how much it will cost?

Thank you!

If either of you are fluent in both Spanish & English, you can do it yourselves and save some $$. We did it for our AOS and it was fine.

At the bottom type the following, and have it notarized, and you are all set.

I, ________ certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and Spanish languages, and that the above/attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached entitled Certificate of Birth.

Signature: ___________________________ Date: ____________

Name (of translator)

Address

Yes, the birth certificate translation is needed. We did it by ourselves too.

The notarization will cost 10 dlls.

Good luck

Wachovia seems to notarize without any charge.

Notarization $10? Most banks will do it for free if you have an account with them, in Arizona the max they can charge is $2.

Wow, you can translate the document yourself? No problem with the notary, my bank will do it for free.

Did you translate the English on top of the existing birth certificate, or create a seperate document?

When I went to my bank for ask for free notarization they told me that only if the document will be related with things about the bank. Anyway I thing that something was wrong with they...

I translate it in another document with the same format that the original document and attached a copy of the birth certificate.

Translate it on a separate piece of paper, at the bottom enter that statement that I cited above, and have the notary sign at the bottom of the document. Don't alter the existing BC.

My wife translated hers (1 piece of paper for the front, another for the back) and then typed out the statement on a seperate sheet of paper. We did not get it notarized and never had a problem.

I translated Fernanda's Birth Certificate. Just typed it out in the same format as the Original that was in Portuguese.

Attached it to the back of the original with the statement saying "I was fluent in the language". No problem.

I gave a translation statement too, it was not notarized. I don't think translations need to be notarized.

Bank of America I know doesn't do notarizations (only relating to bank documents), though other banks do (credit unions do it for free). We had to pay $10 per page when we had the statements from friends notarized (for AOS).

Is the notarization new? Ours was rec'd by USCIS March 2nd of last year, and we had not gotten our's notarized and it was fine.

Not sure if its new, I was always told to do it on any documents I translated. So I did it on the BC for AOS also. Better to have it all done, than risk a RFE & delays.
