What “certified translation” means (and what USCIS expects)
USCIS requires that any foreign-language document be accompanied by a full English translation with a translator’s certification stating the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent in both languages.
How to translate a birth certificate from Spanish to English (step-by-step)
Scan or photograph your acta de nacimiento clearly, including both sides if applicable (seals, stamps, marginal notes).
Upload the file (PDF/JPG/PNG). Tell us your deadline and where you’ll submit (USCIS, DMV, school, court).
We translate every element: names (paternal/maternal), dates, places, registry entries, signatures, stamps, barcodes/QR text, and CURP when shown.
Quality check + certification: a second linguist reviews; we add the signed translator’s certification meeting 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3).
Delivery: receive a PDF (and printed copy on request).
What’s on a Mexican birth certificate (acta de nacimiento)?
Most Mexican birth certificates include: given names; both surnames (paternal then maternal); date and place of birth (state/municipality); parents’ names; registry book/folio/page; registrar’s name and seal; and, on newer formats, the CURP. We reproduce and translate all visible text and notations.
When do I need notarisation or an apostille?
For USCIS: a certified translation is sufficient; notarisation is not required by USCIS rules.
For use outside the U.S.: documents used in other countries may need an apostille or authentication depending on the destination. Mexico and the U.S. are parties to the 1961 Hague Convention (apostille).

FAQs: Mexican birth certificate translation
Can I translate my own birth certificate for USCIS?
USCIS requires a full English translation plus a certification that the translator is competent and that the translation is complete and accurate. While USCIS doesn’t specify formal credentials, self-translation can introduce risk. Most applicants use an independent professional to avoid errors or questions.
Do I need the long-form certificate?
USCIS asks for evidence that clearly shows identity and parentage. If your certificate is an extract or short form, provide the most complete version available; translate all visible content, including stamps and marginal notes. (Follow your form’s specific instructions for required evidence.)
Is notarisation required?
No for USCIS. The regulation requires a certified translation, not a notarised one. Some state or school offices may separately ask for notarisation—check their guidance.
Do you translate stamps, seals and handwritten notes?
Yes. We translate all visible text and annotate illegible portions as [illegible].
Will I need an apostille?
Only if a destination authority outside the U.S. requests it. Apostilles are for documents used between Hague Convention countries.
