Need a Mexican Birth Certificate Translation for US Immigration? Here’s What You Need to Know

If you’re moving to the United States from Mexico, the immigration process can feel complicated. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has a list of documents you must submit, and one of the most important is a certified English translation of your Mexican birth certificate.

Without the right translation, your application could be delayed or even denied. Sure Translation makes this step easy. We offer fast, accurate, certified Spanish translations that meet all USCIS requirements, so you can focus on your move.

Why USCIS Needs Your Birth Certificate Translated

The USCIS requires that any document in another language be translated into English. This is so immigration officers can clearly read and understand details like:

• Your full name
• Date and place of birth
• Parents’ names and nationalities

In addition, a certified translation must include a statement from the translator confirming that it is a complete and accurate translation of the original document. This certification helps USCIS verify the authenticity and accuracy of the translation during the review process.

To avoid delays or rejection, your translation must meet strict USCIS standards for formatting, completeness, and accuracy. That’s why professional certified translations are required and self-translations or free online tools won’t be accepted.

At Sure Translation, we back our work with a 100% USCIS acceptance guarantee, giving you confidence that your certified Mexican birth certificate translation will be accepted without issue. This guarantee reflects our commitment to quality and adherence to all USCIS requirements, so your immigration process moves forward smoothly.

How to Get Your Mexican Birth Certificate

Before you can translate your birth certificate, you need an official copy. If you already have your birth certificate, great! But if you can’t locate it, don’t worry because you have options:

• Request it online: Visit the official Mexican government site (https://www.gob.mx/actas) where you can search by your CURP (Unique Population Registration Code) or personal details to order a certified copy. Payment is usually around 90 Mexican pesos.
• Visit a Mexican Consulate: You can make an appointment and request a copy in person at any Mexican consulate in the U.S.
• Ask family or friends in Mexico: If you cannot get it yourself, trusted relatives can request and send you a copy from the local Civil Registry office in the town where you were born.
• Use a professional service: Some companies specialize in helping locate and obtain birth certificates across Mexico, especially if your records are lost, damaged, or hard to find.

Make sure the copy you get is clear and official, as this will help ensure the best quality translation.
