Birth certificate certified translation is a highly requested translation service by individuals. A certified birth certificate is one of the primary documents needed to prove identity. This is essential for many personal circumstances. This could be purchasing a home, applying for local residency, getting married, or even a fundamental requirement from work. It’s important that you choose a language vendor who can finish certified translation with precision and in a timely manner, to not hinder future processes.
A birth certificate is an important document that details the circumstances of an individual’s birth. There are two types of birth certificate – short and long. A short certificate contains just the newborn’s details and the long document includes both the newborn and the parent’s details.
In most cases the birth certificate will include a name, place of birth, time of birth, sex at birth, mother and father and in many countries, verification of the event signed by the accompanying midwife or doctor. The purpose of a birth certificate is to prove that the birth has occurred and has been officially registered.
Translation of a birth certificate will be necessary if you are planning to live or work abroad for a prolonged amount of time. The format and presentation of a birth certificate will differ from country to country. Consequently, birth certificate certified translation is essential for government authorities to process your application, in accordance with their country’s policy. If you are planning to remain in your country of residence, you will not need a birth certificate translation.
As a recognised legal identity document, birth certificates are used for marriage proceedings, mortgage applications, financial applications, school and higher education applications, driver’s license applications and some job applications, to name a few.
In the UK, a certified translation, also known as an accredited or official translation, is one that is translated by a notable professional and comes with a statement made by the translator, or translation agency guaranteeing its accuracy. This is accompanied by the date, company details and credentials for proof of authenticity. However, it’s important to mention that there are sometimes different certification levels and authority stamps that an official translation can need.
At Absolute Translations, our company certification is accepted by UK authorities. This includes NARIC, the UK Home Office, high street banks, NHS, courts and Universities.
Some jurisdictions require you to have your translated documents notarised before they can be legally recognised by the jurisdiction or the authority. This is often the case for documents that have been translated for use in another country. This is applicable to birth certificates.
With notarised translations, the Notary Public will attach a notarial certificate to your translated document to attest the validity of the translation in question. Throughout the process, a notary is on hand, alongside a specialist team of certification experts, to ensure that standard notarisations are implemented immediately after translation. In some cases, specialist documentation requires notarial investigation. In this instance, the process can sometimes take longer than a standard certification.
Before utilising birth certificate certified translation services, be sure to look at the specific requirements of the country in question. Typically, anyone wishing to have a birth certificate translated will need a sworn translator who is recognised by the court. In other cases, a notarised translation may be needed. Birth certificates are usually only recognised as certified translations by local authorities.

We can also help if you need your UK birth certificate translated into another language for official use abroad.
