A birth certificate (certidão de nascimento) is the most common document USCIS asks for. We translate the full certificate, including the registry book and page numbers, the official seal, and any back-page notes such as a name change or correction. For USCIS, use the full inteiro teor version rather than the short summary, and we translate every field on it.
We match the names and dates to your application exactly, because a small mismatch is one of the most common reasons a file gets held up.
No agency queue and no machine draft: Ivy, a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, translates your document and signs the Certificate of Accuracy USCIS requires on it herself.
Everything USCIS requires, included in every order
I had my birth certificate translated for immigration. They delivered it to me in a few hours, super fast. Fair price and USCIS accepted it without any hassle. I have no complaints. I recommend them.
The USCIS Acceptance Guarantee
Every Brazilian birth certificate translation we deliver is backed by our USCIS acceptance guarantee. If USCIS rejects your translation because of our work, we correct and redeliver it free within 24 hours. If the corrected translation is still not accepted because of our work, we refund your order in full.
The guarantee covers our work. It does not cover a decision USCIS makes about your case for other reasons.
Common questions
How much does it cost to translate a Brazilian birth certificate?
It is $19 per page, and a page is up to 250 words, so a birth certificate is priced on its actual word count and not on how many sheets of paper it is. The whole certificate counts, front and back, including the stamps, seals, and any averbação in the margin, because all of that gets translated. The exact total shows before you pay on the quote page, with no account and no card needed.
My Brazilian birth certificate is the old handwritten kind. Can you still translate it?
Yes. Ivy is a native Portuguese speaker, so the older cartório handwriting and its abbreviations are familiar ground, and she signs the certification on every order herself. Send the clearest photo you can of every page, front and back, since the stamps, seals, and marginal notes are translated along with the entry itself. If a word on your copy looks unreadable, send it to WhatsApp first and Ivy will look at it before you order.
Should I order a new segunda via before getting my certidão de nascimento translated?
Order the segunda via first if you need a recently issued copy, because we translate the exact copy you send, issue date and registry details and all. A certificate you request later will not match the translation you already paid for. Once the right copy is in hand, delivery is within 24 hours, or 4 hours with rush at $9 per page extra.
The name on my Brazilian birth certificate is spelled differently than my passport. What happens?
We translate the name exactly as it appears on the certificate, letter for letter, and we do not adjust the spelling to match your passport. If the certificate carries an averbação recording a name change or a correction, that marginal note is translated too, so both spellings appear in the same document. Point out the difference when you upload and Ivy will confirm that note is included.
Do I need a tradução juramentada of my birth certificate for USCIS?
No. A tradução juramentada is a Brazilian domestic process and it is not what USCIS asks for, and a translated document does not need to be notarized either. What USCIS wants is the complete certificate in English, stamps and marginal notes included, with a signed Certificate of Accuracy that meets 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). There is more on the difference in sworn translation for USCIS.
What are the USCIS requirements for a birth certificate translation?
USCIS requires a complete English translation of the entire certificate plus a signed certification that the translation is accurate and the translator is competent, under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Complete means every field, stamp, seal, and marginal note, front and back. Notarization is not required, and neither is a tradução juramentada. The full rule in plain English is in USCIS translation requirements.
