Birth certificate certification

Nilka asked:I speak, read, and write English, Spanish, and Portuguese fluently. Do I have to be certified to do any translations of birth or marriage certificates?



The Spanish Translator:Thanks for the question, Nilka. The short answer is no. You do not to have any kind of certification in order to translate, whether that's translating birth, marriage, or death certificates or any other type of translations. With these types of translations, however, you might have to notarize them because the agencies that are requesting these types of translations require notarization.

Hope that helps, and good luck!
