Tips for using online birth certificate translation

The definition and requirement of an official translation varies from country to country. Before looking for the translation service, you will need to first establish the local translation requirements. For instance, the birth certificate translation could either be a certified (US and UK) or a sworn translation (European countries); a digital format or a hard copy.

Some birth certificates may feature a great deal of handwritten information which can be difficult for a translator to read, which can result in misspellings and an inaccurate translation. Those written in languages that do not employ the Roman alphabet, such as Japanese and Chinese, may lead to some issues, especially when transliterating a name. It would be very helpful to provide the translation company with spelling references for names and addresses if possible.

Depending on the requirements of different authorities, a certified translation of the birth certificate must contain certain components. They usually include a confirmation from the translator that it is an accurate translation of the original document; the date of the translation; the translator’s full name and signature; the translator’s contact details; and a certification letter attached with original signatures.
