What matters in this document

Small details that decide the filing

A birth certificate carries more than a name and a date. The registry number, the issuing office and the stamps on the back are what the officer compares with the original.

Names spelled once, correctly

Your name, your parents' names and the registrar's name are transliterated to match your passport and earlier filings.

Dates in the US format

Day-first dates are converted to month-first and the original stays in brackets where it matters.

Every stamp and seal

Registry seals, apostille stickers and margin notes are translated or described, not skipped.

Layout that mirrors the original

The English page follows the same order as the certificate, so the reviewer can compare line by line.

Which version do you have

Soviet booklet or single sheet, both are translated the same way

Birth certificates from the former Soviet republics come in two broad families, and the officer sees both every day. Find yours below so you know what to photograph.

Soviet-era booklet

Born before 1992

A small folded form, often green or red, with the republic's coat of arms and printed text in Russian, sometimes with the republic language beside it
Full name, date and place of birth, both parents with their nationality, the registry office and the act record number, mostly handwritten
Every handwritten entry, the printed field labels, the round seal and any citizenship or correction stamp on the back
Asked for in family petitions, naturalization files and consular matters by anyone born in the Soviet Union

Send both sides open flat, plus the cover if it carries a stamp.

Post-1991 single-sheet form

Most common today

One printed page on security paper with a watermark, a series and number, and text in the national language
Name, date and place of birth, parents, the registry office, the act record number and the issue date, plus a duplicate mark when reissued
The whole page, including the pre-printed form text, the series and number, the seal and the registrar's signature block
The standard document in USCIS packets, school enrollment, passport applications and name-change cases

Send a straight photo or scan of the full page and of the back if anything is stamped there.

The whole document, not just the fields

Everything on the page, front and back

Form text and field labels

The pre-printed wording of the form, the coat of arms and the form series are translated or described, so the English page reads as the same document, not a summary of it.

Citizenship and correction stamps on the back

Stamps about citizenship, later corrections and duplicate marks are translated in place, with a note of where each one sits on the original.

Handwriting and faded ink

Handwritten entries are transcribed as written. Where a word cannot be read with confidence, the translation says so rather than filling in a guess.

Three dates, kept apart

The date of birth, the date of registration and the date of issue are three different dates on many certificates. Each is labeled and converted to the US format, so a later issue date does not read as a later birth.

Where it is accepted

One translation, accepted where you need to file

The same certified file works for immigration, courts, universities and employers. Say who it is for when you order and the certificate is worded for that office.

USCIS

Green card, citizenship and asylum filings. Certification statement on every page set.

Immigration courts

Same certified translation, laid out page by page so the clerk can compare it with the original.

Universities and WES / ECE

Admissions offices and credential evaluators get the certified English file with the original attached.

Employers and licensing boards

HR departments get the translation with the certificate, ready to attach to an application.

Questions answered

Birth certificate translation, the questions we hear most

Will USCIS accept this translation?

Yes. USCIS asks for the whole document in English plus a signed statement that the translator is competent and the translation is complete and accurate. Every order includes that statement, signed and dated by the translator.

Do you translate the back of the certificate?

Yes, when there is anything on it: stamps about citizenship, later corrections, apostille. Photograph both sides and we translate everything that is printed, stamped or written.

My certificate is a Soviet-era booklet. Is that a problem?

No. Green and red booklets, handwritten entries and faded stamps are routine. If a word is truly unreadable, the translation says so instead of guessing.

Is a phone photo good enough?

Yes, if all four corners and every stamp are readable. If something is unclear, we ask before we start.

How much does it cost and how fast is it?

From $23.70 per document, certification included. A one-page certificate is usually ready the next business day; the date is confirmed before you pay.
