Registered locally, under a national act
Indian births are registered under the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969, by the municipal corporation, the nagar palika or the gram panchayat of the place of birth. The certificate is issued by that local body, so the layout, the language and the paper vary enormously between states and decades while the legal basis is the same.
Many certificates are bilingual, with headings in English and the entries in Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada or another state language. The entries are the part carrying your name, your parents' names and the place, and a partly English form is not a translated document to the office receiving it.
When there is no certificate: the NABC
Plenty of Indian births were never registered, particularly outside cities and before the system was widely enforced. Where no record exists, the substitute is a Non-Availability of Birth Certificate, issued on Form 10 under the same Act after the registrar searches for the record and confirms there is none. It is typically filed together with secondary evidence such as an affidavit and school records.
The Department of State reciprocity schedule treats Indian birth certificates as obtainable from 1 April 1970, which is why filings involving births after that date are expected to produce either the certificate or the non-availability certificate. We translate either, along with the supporting affidavits.
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
My certificate has English headings already.
The headings often are in English; the entries carrying the names and place usually are not, and those need translating.
I have no birth certificate. What can I file?
A Non-Availability of Birth Certificate, issued on Form 10 after the registrar searches the records, usually with an affidavit and school records alongside. We translate the whole set.
Do you translate the supporting affidavit?
Yes, including the oath and the notarial block, which are what make it a sworn statement.
