Can i translate birth and marriage certificates on my own??

Well, i dont want to pay 70 dollars that this guy wants to charge me. I speak both english and spanish and can translate both fo these documents on my own. Has anyone done this on their own, or is ti better to pay someone to do it. I was planning translating these on my own, and then getting them notarized saying that im a competent translator. Would that be enough?

See the format below. Follow it & you will be fine.

No need to use a notary, it isnt a requirement.

The certification format should include the certifier's name, signature, address, and date of certification. A suggested format is:

Certification by Translator

I [typed name], certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and ________ languages, and that the above/attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached entitled ______________________________.

Signature_________________________________

Date Typed Name

Address

I would like to do the same, but I would like to see a sample for Dominican Republic birth certificate. They wanted to charge me US$100.00 for translating 2 bc.
