FAQ

Birth certificate translation questions

Do I need to apostille the certificate before translating it? +
It depends on the destination and institution. For consular procedures in Mexico (such as a visa at the US consulate in Guadalajara), an apostille is generally not required for the translation. To present the certificate directly to authorities in the USA, an apostille may be required. We advise you when quoting.
Can you translate certificates from other Mexican states? +
Yes. We translate certificates from any state: CDMX, Jalisco, Veracruz, Nuevo León, Michoacán, etc. The sworn translator certifies regardless of the state of origin.
What if my certificate has corrections or amendments? +
We faithfully reflect it in the translation. If there are strikethroughs, we indicate that the original has them. If there are marginal annotations (such as divorce or acknowledgment of paternity), we include those as well.
How much does certificate translation cost? +
Civil registry certificates are 1-2 page documents and have accessible pricing. We quote in 2 hours with no commitment.
How long does it take? +
Simple certificates: 1-2 business days. For urgent cases, we check 24-hour delivery availability.
Does the US consulate in Guadalajara accept the translations? +
Yes. Translations certified by sworn translators authorized by the State of Jalisco Council of the Judiciary are accepted by the US consulate in Guadalajara and all other US consulates in Mexico.

Certificate translations accepted at consulates and USCIS

US consulates and USCIS are clear: the translation must be certified. That means it must carry the signature and declaration of the translator stating they are competent in both languages and that the translation is complete and accurate.

The sworn translators LINGUAS coordinates with are authorized by the State of Jalisco Council of the Judiciary and the Supreme Court of Justice of the State of Jalisco. Their certification is recognized by US consulates, USCIS, universities and other institutions in Mexico and abroad.
