The Mother and Child Protection Card

India records childhood immunisation on the Mother and Child Protection Card issued under the Universal Immunization Programme, and increasingly through the U-WIN digital registry which produces a printable certificate.

Private hospital vaccination booklets also circulate with their own layouts. Whichever you hold, it is the immunisation record and it is the document a US civil surgeon needs. Send all pages.

Indian schedules include vaccines the US does not use

The Indian programme includes BCG and OPV — oral polio — at birth, and pulse polio campaign doses given outside the routine schedule and recorded separately or not at all.

A US reader sees an unfamiliar vaccine list and campaign doses with no clear series. We reproduce each entry as recorded and give the standard English designation, without inferring a series the record does not state.

Discharge summaries, OPD cards and the MLC

Indian clinical documentation comes as a discharge summary from an inpatient stay, an OPD card for outpatient visits carried by the patient, and where a case has a legal aspect a medico-legal case report prepared at a government hospital.

They are different documents with different weight and we name each. The physician's registration number with a state medical council appears on formal documents and we reproduce it.

English, and legibility

Indian medical documents are overwhelmingly in English, so a translation is frequently unnecessary and we would rather tell you. What is regularly needed instead is a legible transcription of handwritten notes, prescriptions and OPD cards.

Where a passage is genuinely illegible we say so rather than guessing, because a guessed drug name or dose is worse than a gap. See our Hindi page.

Ordering, and what the certification covers

Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, and every seal, stamp and registry endorsement is translated with the text. See how we translate and certified versus standard.

Frequently asked questions

What should I send for an I-693?

The Mother and Child Protection Card, a U-WIN certificate, or the hospital vaccination booklet — all pages.

Why is there an oral polio entry?

OPV is given at birth in India, plus pulse polio campaign doses. We reproduce entries as recorded without inferring a series.

Do I need a translation?

Often not — Indian medical documents are in English. What we are usually asked for is a legible transcription of handwritten notes.

What is an MLC?

A medico-legal case report prepared at a government hospital where a case has a legal aspect. A different document from a discharge summary.
