Hi all, I am currently gathering my documents to apply for PR under the non-EE PNP (OINP). One of the required documents in the checklist is my birth certificate. I am from Peru, and there is an option of obtaining a digital certified birth certificate, which has an official signature and a website you can go to indicating that the document is certified by the national agency.

This document is in Spanish, so I would need to translate it. Would I need to attach a notarized/certified copy of this digital birth certificate on top of the certified translation? Moreover, are digital documents valid for birth certificates or would I need a physical copy? If anyone else has run into the same scenario, I'd appreciate any advice, thank you!
