The birth certificate (akta kelahiran), from Dukcapil
An Indonesian birth certificate is the akta kelahiran, issued by the Dinas Kependudukan dan Pencatatan Sipil (Dukcapil) of the regency or city. Formats changed over the decades and older certificates look quite different from current ones; both are genuine.
The certificate carries the NIK, the population identification number, which ties the record to the family card and the identity card. It is reproduced exactly — see our Indonesian page.
One legal name, and what US forms do with it
Many Indonesians have a single legal name with no family name at all. US forms frequently cannot accept that and end up recording FNU — first name unknown — or LNU, which is a convention for a missing field rather than a statement about the person.
We reproduce the name exactly as the document gives it and make the structure explicit, so the office can see that a single name is the complete legal name rather than half of one.
What USCIS requires
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 is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this 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.
