spanish to english translation form for birth certificate

[Sal_R 3]

Does any one have one that you could share? also can I (the beneficiary's husband) translate it?

thanks

each translation would be drastically different because of the birth certificate. You technically can translate it but i would advise against it. Some people get accepted with it, some get denied. You have to translate EVERYTHING not just the main text. I had mine professionally translated to avoid any issues and they translate everything include stamps, seals, emblems etc.

I recommend www.rev.com they are awesome. just send a jpeg document online and they have a 24 hour turn around. all you need is the email version of it and you can print it out. no need to have it notarized etc. Its worth the $25 bucks to have a clear concious knowing its correct.

Found through a Google search. Google can also be your friend.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

I translated all my documents since I am a certified Bilingual Teacher and so far I have not received anything that would indicate they are going to have an issue with it. Hopefully it all goes smoothly on that regard. I do agree that every document is unique and that to be on the safe side have it done professionally if you are not sure. Good luck!

It is better to receive advice in the public forums. That way others can see it and chime in if any misinformation is given. It is also helpful to others that may be in need of the same advice.

You can translate it. Anyone fluent in both languages can. You do not need to pay a third party to do it. You just need to translate the whole thing and try and keep the layout similar. Where there is a seal, then put 'Seal'. My husband translated his own from Spanish, and used Word to keep the layout as close as possible to the original birth certificate. The person translating the document must include this certification on the translated document > http://www.visajourney.com/content/translations

I also recommend www.REV.com it actually took less than 24 hours for Spanish (Mexican birth certificate) to English translation

the total was aroung $47.00 because I also wanted it notarized.

it was too much of a headache to do it on my own (other issues on my fathers application)

You can translate it yourself, if you are fluent in both languages. The Colombian birth certificate is not hard to translate, I have done it before myself. You need to translate and copy EVERYTHING. When I did it, I made it in excel so I could have the boxes and arrange them similar to how they are on the Colombian BC. Where ever there was a seal, I simply wrote [ SEAL ] and translated any text on the seal underneath the wording, as well as wrote SIGNATURE where it was signed. The Colombian BC, as I'm sure you know, is front and back, and you need to include the notations they write as well.

At the bottom of the translated birth certificate, you need to include a statement saying you are fluent in both languages and that the translated document is an accurate translation. Something like: I, your name, certify I am fluent in both English and Spanish and that this is an accurate translation of the document (name of document). Include the date, your name and address, and sign it.

You do not need to pay money for translation services, you also do not need to have it notarized.

I hear that you do not have to have the translations notarized; however, this webpage says:

Important Notice: All documents not written in English or in the official language of the country in which the interview takes place MUST be accompanied by a translation in English. Translations must be certified by a competent translator and notarized. Translations submitted to the NVC will be included in the applicants case file.

Is there a difference between what we are talking about here and what I need?

The difference is you are quoting the DoS site about obtaining a visa from a US consulate. This forum is for adjustment applicants, sending forms to the USCIS for a green card. Someone applying for an immigrant visa to enter the US should follow the directions given to them by the NVC and their consulate. Someone applying for AOS within the US should follow the directions of the USCIS and the I-485 instructions.

USCIS instructions: http://www.uscis.gov/forms/forms-and-fees/general-tips-assembling-applications-mailing

Please submit certified translations for all foreign language documents. The translator must certify that s/he is competent to translate and that the translation is accurate.

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
