Below is a copy and paste of the Instruction Guide [IMM EG7000]abhishek2629 said:Can anybody tell me what certification is required to get translation birth certificate from Hindi to English???? What all stamps required or else only notary public stamp is more than enough for CIO. Please guide
Translation of documents
Any document that is not in English or French must be accompanied by:
•the English or French translation; and
•an affidavit from the person who completed the translation; and
•a certified copy of the original document.
Note: An affidavit is a document on which the translator has sworn, in the presence of a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country in which the translator is living, that the contents of their translation are a true translation and representation of the contents of the original document. Translators who are certified members in good standing of one of the provincial or territorial organizations of translators and interpreters of Canada do not need to supply an affidavit.
Important information. Translations by family members are not acceptable.
PS - I recommend double checking from someone who has got translation done for birth certificate though
Modified 1 - I just looked at my birth certificate. I have the original Hindi version and an English version at the bottom of which it is certified that it is a true translation of the hindi version. Although both are issued by the government agency that is responsible to issue the birth certificates and both Hindi and English versions are signed by the same guy on the same day (if this helps)
