Translate a scanned birth certificate to English with every field exactly where the original put it.
Translating something else? Browse every document type — certificates, records, statements and transcripts.
The birth certificate is the single most-requested document in immigration and citizenship paperwork — USCIS petitions, passport applications, school enrollment, dual-citizenship claims through a parent or grandparent. Reviewing officers hold the translation next to the original, so Reglyph rebuilds the certificate in English on the original layout: registrar fields, margins, seals and reference numbers all stay put.
US immigration requires a complete English translation with a translator's certification of accuracy — summaries or extract translations are rejected. Long-form (full) certificates are usually expected rather than short-form extracts. Reglyph translates the full document in its original format; certification is then a quick review-and-sign step for a qualified translator.
The situations people most often bring birth certificates to us for — each one keeps the original layout, seals and tables.
One certificate is a page or two, but descent-based citizenship claims often need a chain of them — yours, a parent's, a grandparent's — plus marriage records linking the names. Translating the chain in one job keeps names and places rendered identically across every document.
USCIS requires the translation to carry a translator's certification. Use Reglyph for the complete layout-faithful translation, then have a qualified translator review and sign it — the standard fast path.
Agencies generally want the long form (full registry copy). Translate the version you'll submit; if you only hold a short-form extract, check whether your agency accepts it before translating.
Yes — Spanish is the most common case. See the Spanish to English page for language-specific details like accented names and acta formats.
Yes. Save the photo as a PDF and upload it; Reglyph OCRs image-only PDFs as standard.

Translate a few pages. No commitment.
$0.30 a page, from 10 pages — you pay for exactly 10 pages.
For individuals with scans to translate every month.
For high-volume users with scans to translate every week.
The rule itself is short. The mistakes people make around it — partial translations, missing seals, uncertified machine output — are what generate RFEs.
