The short form and the full form are different documents
Dominican civil records are issued by the Junta Central Electoral, and it issues more than one version of a birth record. The short extract states the essentials. The full or inextensa version reproduces the registry entry with the annotations added to it afterwards — a later recognition of paternity, a correction, a change of name.
Those annotations are frequently the point. If an office asked for a full copy and received the extract, it comes back, and the round trip costs weeks. Check which one was requested before ordering, and if you are not sure which you hold, send it through the quote form and we will tell you.
Older records and late registrations
Late registration is common in Dominican records, so a certificate can show a registration date years after the birth it records, sometimes with a court or administrative decision behind it. That is ordinary rather than suspicious, and the translation reproduces the dates exactly as the record states them rather than smoothing them into a tidier story.
Both parents appear with two surnames each, and the registered person carries two of their own. Both are translated, in the order the document gives them.
What USCIS requires
The requirement is the same for every country: under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note on your birth certificate is part of the document, so every one is translated.
For general guidance on certificates from any country, see birth certificate translation and our USCIS certified translation page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need the extract or the full certificate?
Whichever the receiving office asked for. The full version carries the marginal annotations; the extract does not, and the annotations are often what matters.
My certificate shows a registration date long after my birth.
Late registration is common and the translation reproduces both dates exactly as recorded, along with any decision behind it.
Are the annotations translated?
Yes, every one, including those on the reverse. They can change what the certificate proves.
