Purpose of Translating a Birth Certificate
There are different reasons for translations of certificates. Some of the reasons are:
Passport
If you need a new passport or want to apply for your child’s passport for the first time, most countries require you to submit a birth certificate in the language of the country of residence.
Driver’s License
Whether is concerns your first driver’s license or a renewal, most offices demand a birth certificate to prove your identity when presenting yourself and your paperwork at the clerk’s desk.
Immigration
Immigration processes can be a hassle without having the right documents (and translations!) at the right time.
Prevent missing deadlines or delaying your immigration date by asking JK Translate to take care of your birth certificate translation, or any other immigration document, that needs to be translated.

Birth Certificate Translation Requirements
Requirements may vary between countries, but what many birth certificate translations for USCIS have in common is: a specific format, a statement that attests to the accuracy of the translation (including a signature of the translator), and a statement that the executing translator is not associated in any way with the subject of the certificate
Difference Between a Certified and Standard Birth Certificate Translation
A birth certificate translation must be completed by a certified translator in almost all situations. A standard translation, or an extract from a translation, is mostly insufficient for administrative procedures. That is why JK Translate’s team consists of certified translators who have proven their competence in both the original language of the birth certificate as well as the target language. If you need to translate a birth certificate to English for official purposes, our experts ensure accuracy and compliance with all requirements. Discover all our certified translation services if you will be moving abroad with your family and need more than just birth certificate translations for USCIS for your family members!

FAQ
Your translation questions answered
What is a sworn translation?
A sworn translation is a translation carried out by a sworn translator. You will always receive the physical copy of the translation by post and the scanned document by e-mail. A sworn translator has taken an oath and is registered with the court as someone who is able to deliver truthful translations for a specific language pair. A sworn translation contains the stamp of the translator and his or her statement that the translation has been translated to the best of his/her ability and as truthfully as possible. You will need a sworn translation if a government agency or other official body requires a translation of an official document, such as your passport, driver’s license or diploma.
When do I need a sworn translation?
You will need a sworn translation for official documents that you have to show or submit to a government agency or other official body. If you are unsure whether or not a sworn translation is required, we advise you to check this with the authorities concerned. For use in the Netherlands, a sworn translation by a sworn translator registered in the Netherlands will be sufficient. For use abroad, you may also need an apostille or even legalisation at Foreign Affairs and the relevant embassy.
Is a sworn translation the same as a certified translation?
Strictly speaking, a sworn translation is not the same as a certified translation. A sworn translator is appointed in his or her personal capacity as a capable translator. By adding his or her stamp and statement to a translation, a translation is sworn. A certified translation means that the translation is certified by a third party as a true representation of the source document. This third party may be a notary, a lawyer, or a translation agency. Some countries, such as Portugal, do not have sworn translations and mainly work with certified translations. In the Netherlands, on the other hand, sworn translations are common. Are you not sure whether you need a sworn or a certified translation? Please feel free to contact us.
What is a certified translation?
A certified translation is a translation that is certified by a third party as a true representation of the source document. This third party may be a notary, a lawyer, or a translation agency. Unlike with a sworn translation, a certified translation is not necessarily carried out by someone who is authorised by a court or government to translate official documents in their personal capacity. Some countries, such as Portugal, do not have sworn translations and mainly work with certified translations. In the Netherlands, on the other hand, sworn translations are common.
