In such cases it is important that the translation is done accurately, in the official format and without errors in names, surnames, dates, the place of birth and other personal data. Even one small inaccuracy can cause the document to be returned or the procedure to drag on. That is why birth certificate translation requires a professional approach and especially careful checking of the details.
If you do not know whether you need a plain translation, notarization or an apostille, send us a photo of the document on WhatsApp. Our team will estimate the price and the turnaround and tell you which format is right for your case.
When do you need a birth certificate translation?
A birth certificate translation is most often needed when the document has to be submitted in another country or to an official authority of a foreign country. For example, if you are applying to a university, making a visa application, putting together family reunification documents, applying for citizenship, getting married abroad, need documents for a child or are settling legal matters, you will most likely need a birth certificate translation.
In some cases a translation alone is enough, but many authorities require a notarized translation. This means that the notary certifies the authenticity of the translator's signature, while the bureau answers for the accuracy of the translation. Notarization gives the document formal credibility and is often essential for submitting it to a state authority, an embassy or an international organization.
- for a visa application;
- for obtaining residence or citizenship;
- for study-related applications;
- for family reunification;
- for marriage registration abroad;
- for preparing a child's documents;
- for submission to an embassy or consulate;
- for a court or legal case;
- for proving inheritance or a family relationship.
Which languages do we translate birth certificates into?
TARGMANEBI offers birth certificate translation from Georgian into foreign languages and from foreign languages into Georgian. Most often clients ask for birth certificates to be translated into English, Russian, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Turkish, Greek, Ukrainian, Polish, Czech, Arabic, Chinese and other languages.
The choice of language depends on the country where you have to submit the document. For example, for study in Germany a German or English translation is often required; for family reunification in Italy an Italian translation may be required; for a US visa an English translation is mainly used; in Turkey a Turkish translation may be needed for medical or family matters. If you are not sure which language you need, it is best to check with the receiving authority in advance or write to us - we will help you choose the right direction.
In a birth certificate the main difficulty is usually the structure of the name, which differs from language to language. Separate pages describe what we check in Armenian documents, how Icelandic names are handled and what is specific about Swedish population register certificates.
Does a birth certificate need notarization?
Notarization depends on the specific requirement. If the document is to be used in an official procedure, for example at an embassy, a state authority, a university, a court or an administrative body of a foreign country, in many cases a plain translation is not enough and a notarized translation is required.
A notarized birth certificate translation is especially important when the document confirms personal data, the date of birth, the parents' details, the place of birth or a family relationship. The accuracy of this data is critical, because in official documents even a slight difference in a name, surname or date can lead to additional requirements.
Our team pays attention to the correct transliteration of the first name and surname, the date format, the structure of the document, the description of seals and signatures, and every detail that an official translation must have.
Does a birth certificate need an apostille?
An apostille is a form of certification of a document for international use. However, whether an apostille is needed is not always the same. In some cases the original document (or its notarized copy) needs an apostille, and sometimes the receiving authority asks only for a notarized translation; however, a notarized translation made in Georgia is not apostilled.
In this part, the most reliable approach is to check the requirement in advance with the country or organization where you have to submit the document. If you already have instructions, a letter or a list of requirements, you can send it to us and we will help you understand whether your birth certificate needs an apostille, notarization of the translation or another additional procedure.
Important: different countries and authorities have different requirements. So before you prepare the document, it is best to know exactly whether you need a translation, notarization, an apostille or all three together.
How do you order a birth certificate translation?
Ordering is very simple. You can send us a photo or scan of the birth certificate on WhatsApp, by email or through the order form on the site. Once we receive the document, we assess the volume, the language, whether notarization is needed and the turnaround. After that we send you exact information about the price and the completion time.
- send us a photo or scan of the birth certificate;
- tell us the target language;
- tell us where you have to submit the document;
- indicate whether you need notarization;
- if you have a deadline, let us know in advance;
- receive the price, the turnaround and the preparation format.
If the document is not fully visible, is blurred or some part of it cannot be read, we may need a better photo or scan. For an official translation it is important that all the data can be read clearly. This protects both the quality of the translation and your time, because we avoid mistakes and the need to check everything again.
How much does a birth certificate translation cost?
The price of a birth certificate translation depends on several factors: the target language, whether notarization is needed, the deadline, and whether an additional service is needed, for example apostille advice. A standard document is usually priced quickly, because the volume is small and the structure of the text is relatively simple.
The best way to get an exact price is to send a photo of the document. That way we will see the type of document, the language, any seals, entries and other details. If you need an urgent translation, you should also say so in advance, so that we can determine the possible turnaround correctly.
On the prices page you can find general information about the cost of translation, but the exact price for a specific birth certificate is set individually. To get it, contact us or send us the document.
How long does the translation take?
A birth certificate is a standard document and can often be prepared at short notice. However, the final turnaround depends on the language, the workload, whether notarization is needed and whether you need a printed version of the document. If you need the document urgently, be sure to tell us when you place the order.
Our aim is for the client to know the real turnaround from the start. That is why we establish in advance whether the document can be prepared by the time you need it. If certification or an additional procedure is needed, we explain that in advance too.
