Recording the father of a child born outside marriage

For a non-Muslim child born outside marriage, JPN records the father's details in the birth register only on a joint application by the mother and the man claiming to be the father, and both must sign the register. Without that, the birth certificate has no father's details. There is no separate acknowledgment certificate: the signed birth register entry, and the birth certificate issued from it, are the record.

If the parents later marry, the child can be legitimated. After a court order, the mother or father applies to JPN to re-register the birth under section 17, with the parents' marriage document; the re-registration is free within three months of the marriage and costs a fee after that. The child then receives a new birth certificate. We translate the court order too if you have it.

Two birth certificates, and DNA reports

A legitimated child can therefore hold two genuine birth certificates, one without the father and one with him. Both are translated as written, with their registration dates, so an officer can see the sequence. The date paternity was recorded can matter in a US case, so we copy every date exactly. Keep both: some offices ask why the father appears only on the later certificate.

Where paternity was disputed, a court order and a DNA report may be part of the file. Malaysia's DNA Identification Act 2009 governs forensic DNA analysis, and the Chemistry Department runs forensic DNA laboratories that also offer paternity testing. See the Malaysian expert report page and our Malay page. The report's sample labels, case numbers and probability figures are copied exactly as written.

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.
