What a birth certificate translation needs, the difference between certified, notarized and apostilled, and how to get it accepted first time.
To translate your birth certificate into English in Mumbai, send a clear scan to a certified translation provider, who translates every detail, reviews it and attaches a signed certificate of accuracy. Add a notary's attestation if your authority asks for it. USCIS generally needs only the translator's certification, not notarization. Unique Lingua Solutions provides certified and notarized birth certificate translation for Mumbai residents, typically in 24 to 48 hours, with apostille guidance for your destination.

A certified birth certificate translation in Mumbai is a complete translation of your birth record with a signed and stamped certificate of accuracy from the translation company. It is also called a certified English translation of a birth certificate or an official translation of a birth certificate, and it is the standard requirement for immigration and official submissions. Ours includes:
A second linguist reviews every name, number and date against the original before delivery.
If you need to translate your birth certificate into English, we handle Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati and every other Indian language, as well as birth certificate translation in India from regional records issued in other states. Mumbai birth certificates may be in English, Marathi or both, and older or out-of-state records are often in Marathi, Gujarati or another regional language.
If your certificate is already in English, you may not need a translation for an English-speaking destination, but you will usually need one for a country that uses another language. Check with the receiving authority first.
For a certified birth certificate translation for visa and immigration, immigration authorities in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and elsewhere require birth certificates in English or the official language.
Need to translate your birth certificate to English for USCIS? USCIS generally asks for a complete English translation with the translator's certification that they are competent in both languages and that the translation is accurate. We prepare translations in that format. Please check the latest instructions on the USCIS website for your form.
For other authorities, share the checklist you received and we will match the format.
A notarized translation of a birth certificate means the translator or company signs a declaration of accuracy before a notary public, who verifies identity and attests the signature with a stamp and seal. The notary does not check the translation itself, so translation quality comes first.
If you need to translate and notarize a birth certificate in Mumbai, tell us when you order and we arrange the notary attestation. See also our notarized translation services in Mumbai.
| What it is | When it is asked for | |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Translation with a signed statement of accuracy | Most visa, immigration, university and government files |
| Notarized translation | Translator's declaration signed before a notary public | Some embassies, courts, foreign registries and institutions |
| Apostille | Authentication of the public document by the competent authority, under the Hague Convention | Use of documents in Hague Convention countries |
The right combination depends on the destination country and the authority receiving your file. Tell us where it will be submitted and we will advise before you order.
An apostille is attached to the original birth certificate (or in some cases a notarized copy) by the competent authority, not by a translator. To translate and apostille a birth certificate in Mumbai, the usual order is to authenticate the original first, then translate and, if required, notarize the translation. The right sequence depends on your destination country.
We guide you on the order of translation, notarization and apostille, and handle the steps through our apostille and attestation services in Mumbai.
Birth certificates in Mumbai are issued by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), also known as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), through the ward offices' citizen facilitation centres. Registration is mandatory under the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969, and births outside Greater Mumbai are registered by the local body of that place.
A hospital discharge summary or birth intimation slip is not the official birth certificate. Send us the certificate issued by the registrar after registration, so the translation matches the document authorities will verify.
An error in a single date or spelling can delay a visa or immigration application, so we match every detail to the original.

You receive a clear quote before work begins, usually within an hour.
We provide accurate certified translation and, on request, arrange notarization and guide you on apostille. The receiving authority decides whether a translation is accepted, and an apostille is issued by the competent government authority. We cannot guarantee acceptance, and we cannot correct errors in the original certificate.
