Certified Translation of Birth Certificates

Why is a certified translation of a birth certificate needed?

A certified translation of a birth certificate is a crucial document required by many Canadian institutions, including:

• Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for visa and residency applications.
• Passport Canada.
• Vital Statistics offices.
• Schools, colleges, and universities for enrollment.

What is the process for IRCC?

Important: For official submission to IRCC, the certified translation must be attached to a notarized 'true copy' of the original birth certificate. This is a mandatory requirement. You can learn more about the notarization process here.
