Acknowledged at the registry office
When the parents are not married, paternity is acknowledged by a joint application of the father and mother to a registry office, in person or by an application with notarised signatures. Under the Civil Law it can be made before the birth or after the birth is registered, and a child aged 12 or over must consent. If the mother has died or cannot be found, the father may apply alone; a court decides disputed cases.
The acknowledgment is entered in the Birth Register, and the birth entry is supplemented with the father's details. The child may then take the father's surname under the rules on children's surnames. The registry can issue a new birth certificate or a statement showing the entry.
Two birth certificates, both genuine
A certificate issued before paternity was acknowledged shows only the mother; one issued afterwards names the father and may show a different surname for the child. Both are genuine, and we translate each as written, with every date. The date of acknowledgment can matter in a US case, so ask your attorney which one to submit.
If the child was 12 or older, the file should also show the child's consent, which the Civil Law requires for an acknowledgment. Where a court decided paternity, the judgment and any DNA expert report may be needed too. See the Latvian birth certificate page and our Latvian page.
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.
Frequently asked questions
We acknowledged paternity before our child was born.
Latvian law allows that. The birth entry then shows the father from the start; we translate it as printed.
My child's surname changed after paternity was acknowledged.
That is common. We translate both certificates and the registry statement if you have it.
Paternity was decided by a court.
Then the court judgment is part of the record, and we translate it too.
