Translate Birth Certificates

[cecaspirant]

Hello

The Birth Certificates are in my native language. Can you please let me know where i can find information (to find an accredated Translator) to translate it to English?

And also should i notarize the translated copy?

Regards

depends what province you are in -

google "PROVINCE translators association" and you'll find certified translators in your province. But if you can't find one for your language, you can look at other provinces, there's no requirement that it has to be done by someone in your province.

example: google "Ontario translators association" and you'll find the ATIO -

Thanks Jes_ON. Should i also notarize the translated copy?

 

[jes_ON]

a certified translator will provide a certified translation. You can't notarize it, but they can certify it . That is what you need.

Thanks.

So just to reconfirm, i get my birth certificate translated to English and then go to a Notary to have it certified and send this certified copy along with my application. Is that right?

ah, huh? That's not what I said... but in any case, you should get

1) certified copy of the original (native) language document. A notary can do this, the translator may be able to do this, a commissioner of oaths or justice of the peace can also do it (I had it done at Service Canada at no cost).

2) certified translation (I would suggest getting 2 copies).

Contact a translator, they do this all the time, they can provide you with exactly what you need.

what about if a birth certificate is in native and English language, for example one in Native and the same one in English...do we still need to translate it ?
thanks

Jes_ON, what you're saying is that Service Canada could certify the copy too? I don't need to
pay a notary for that? Do you think, a principal of a secondary school would be able to certify that too?

What I am saying is that in my Service Canada office, there is a Commissioner of Oaths who did it for no cost. You can inquire at your Service Canada whether or not they have a Commissioner of Oaths, I have no idea if this is a commonly offered service.

As for a school principal, they would have to also be a Commissioner of Oaths, Notary, or Justice of the Peace (in addition to being a school principal).

Mine was actually combined like each line as

Native Language/English .............................
and it was filled in both languages.

I didn't provide any translation.
