Confused re: gov't certified true copy of birth certificate

[honduran77]

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum.

I'm from Honduras, currently living in the United States. My parter is sponsoring me.

So, while going over the document checklist I saw the following:

"provide birth certificates, baptismal certificates or other official document confirming relationship for you and your family members"

Then, under the country specific requirements for Honduras it says:

"Official documents issued by this country must be government-certified true copies (copies certified as authentic by the issue government, signed and sealed)"

I have my original baptismal certificate and a government issued and stamped birth certificates (issued 5 years ago)

My questions:

1. Do I have to have my documents translated from Spanish to English? I see no information on this.

2. If (1) is 'yes', how can I have my documents translated if they are supposed to be sealed?!

Thank you.

How did you get a "government certified true copy" of the passport? We went to the passport office, my partner is Mexican, and they said this isn't a service they provide.
