Moving is usually tough. This is because it involves very many things. For example, you have to get a visa, passport, new driving license, register in a new school, and even get your birth certificate translated-if its written in a language that is different from the native language of the country that you are visiting.

For example, if you live in china and you want to move to the United States, you have to get your birth certificate translated from Chinese to English.

You should note that translation can’t be done by just any person; it has to be done by a certified translator. This means that you should be very careful when hiring a translator.

To be on the safe side you should always ensure that you do background checks on the translator that you want to hire. This is because you can hire an none certified translator resulting to cancellation of your documents.

When you approach a certified translator, he/she will translate your certificate. In addition to the translated document, he will also give you a notarized copy of the original document.

Individual professional translators are usually not allowed to offer birth certificate translation services. This is because they are not a public notary. This means that once they have translated your certificate and prepared a copy of your documents, they have to visit a notary to have the documents notarized.

This would take a lot of time which can be inconvenient for you.

Most reputable companies will charge you a fee to translate, reproduce, certify, and notarize your document. Although these are the charges of most well known companies, it’s common to find other companies charging fees that are higher or lower than this.

Document translation usually takes 2-3 days; however, if you are in a hurry and you want the documents processed within a short time (for example the express service), you can request for the ‘rush’ service which is usually offered by many companies.

Although, the service allows you to get your documents translated within a short time, you should note that the service usually comes with hefty increase in fees. In some cases you may find some companies charging up to double the price.

Since birth certificate translation takes time, you should plan ahead and budget plenty of time so that you can have plenty of time to fill government papers and correct any mistakes that might occur.

We offer birth certificate translation and certified translation of any other documents such as driving licenses translation and more.
