Spanish to English Birth Certificate Translation in Allentown, PA

What to provide for your birth certificate translation

Bring your certificate to the office or call to arrange a clear scan or photograph by email, WhatsApp or another agreed method. Include:

• Every page of the birth record, with all four edges visible.
• The reverse side if it contains writing, stamps or other information.
• Readable names, dates, registry details, seals and handwritten notes; avoid glare, shadows and cropped text.
• Your contact information, deadline and the name of the institution receiving the translation.
• Any written instructions about translator statements, credentials, notarization or paper originals.

A translation does not replace the underlying birth certificate. If an institution requests a particular version of your civil record, confirm that requirement with it before ordering. We translate the document provided; we do not issue birth certificates or change the original record.

What you receive

You receive the English translation and a signed translator statement describing competence in the languages and that the translation is true and accurate, with notarization. Please share any required statement wording before we begin. We can arrange pickup or send a scanned copy of the completed translation if requested. Ask your recipient whether a scan is sufficient or whether it needs an original signed paper copy.

Translator certification and professional accreditation are different. Our translator is fluent in Spanish and English but does not hold a professional translator certification. The signed accuracy statement concerns the translation itself. Notarization is separate and does not guarantee that an institution will accept the translation.

Birth certificate translations for immigration

Many clients request translations for immigration-related paperwork. Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document submitted to USCIS must have a full English translation and the translator’s certification of completeness, accuracy and competence. Notarization alone does not replace that statement.

The receiving institution determines its requirements. We do not guarantee acceptance by USCIS, a court, consulate, school or any other organization. Bring the specific instructions for your request. For related preparation, see our immigration document assistance and immigration document checklist. Translation service does not include legal advice or an immigration eligibility assessment.

Birth certificate translation questions

Can you translate my birth certificate the same day?

A single document is usually completed the same day. Confirm availability with us before relying on a particular deadline. Multiple documents are usually completed within 48 hours after review and agreement on timing.

Can I send a photo instead of visiting?

Yes, if the complete document is clear and readable. Call to arrange the destination email address, WhatsApp number or another suitable delivery method. We will let you know if we need a clearer copy.

Is the $40 price per page?

Our stated price is $40 for one document translation. Send the full document, including any additional pages, so we can confirm the quote before work begins. Several documents can be quoted together.

Do you offer interpreting or other languages?

We translate written documents and do not provide spoken interpreting. Spanish and English are our primary languages. French and other-language requests must be reviewed individually before we confirm whether we can assist.

Can the translation be used for something other than immigration?

Yes. We can review birth certificate translation requests for other purposes. Always confirm your recipient’s format and credential requirements first.
