Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about translating birth certificates for immigration.
Do I need to translate the Urdu and English bilingual birth certificate?+
Even if your NADRA birth certificate contains both Urdu and English fields, any stamp, seal, signature, or handwritten note in Urdu must be translated and certified. USCIS officers require all non-English text to be translated, so submitting a certified translation of a bilingual certificate is highly recommended to prevent delays.
What if my name spelling on my birth certificate differs from my passport?+
We translate names exactly as they are written in the original document, but we will align the spellings in our translation with your passport if specified. We can also include a translator note explaining spelling variations (such as Urdu transliteration differences) to prevent any issues with your petition.
Can I translate my own birth certificate for my USCIS application?+
No. Even if you are completely fluent in both languages, USCIS regulations explicitly forbid the applicant or petitioner from translating their own documents. The translation must be completed and certified by a competent independent third party.
Do you translate the Union Council seals and officer signatures?+
Yes. Our translations are full and complete. We translate all official seals, stamps, Union Council stamps, and registrar signatures, and represent them in the English translation layout.
