I intend to translate my own birth certificate for my AOS as I've read it is legit as long as it includes the certification of translation. However, I'd like to know what information needs to be on the translation. Does it have to be all of it? or jsut some essential parts? I'd appreciate if someone send a copy of a translation that was sent for AOS and no RFE resulted from that!

PS: My birth certificate is form Colombia.

hi,

i did my translation alone too. Just try to translate everything and yes do a certification that your translation is accurate and complete...and sign.

I think it is fine, i didn't received any RFE about this, but i have received 2 RFE about affidativ of support and know i wait about answer...

the only part you can't translate from you birth certificate it is like sign of someone else.

I translated myself too. You have to make it look EXACTLY like the original. Stamps.... Everything located the same way.... Use the most similar font..... And at the end of the paper you have to add the box signature that uscis wants

Yes you can translate it yourself. You need to translate everything and have it organized in a similar fashion to the original, meaning location of seals and all annotations. I have translated a Colombian birth certificate before so I know specifically how that looks.

Wherever there was a seal or stamp I put [sEAL] or [sTAMP] and then translated the writing in the seal underneath it.
