AOS and birthcertificate

[caro06 0]

I've seen that I need an original birth certificate for my AOS and that if it's not in English a translation is needed.

However it doesn't say whether I can translate is myself or have to pay someone to do it....

People here have successfully translated their own. The person translating it put their name on the translation and signed it.

I did my own translation based on the translation of another brazilian friend who went to this same process and she notarized it for me. This is how mine looked like....of course without any "X" on the names.

Thank you very much

One less question

[Lili 3]

I personally used the international version of birth certificate that the french government provides.

No idea if it will be ok with USCIS or not.

what is it? how do you get it?

i might as well have both kinds

[Lili 3]

It is called "Un extrait plurilingue" (c'est un extrait d'acte d'état civil destiné à être utilisé à l'étranger.).

Depending on where you are born, you should be able to order your birth certificate online.

Here are the different kind of birth certificates:

* Une copie intégrale est une reproduction de l'acte original, mentions marginales comprises.

* Un extrait avec filiation regroupe l'identité de l'intéressé et les dernières mentions concernant sa vie et sa situation familiale (décès, dernier mariage, divorce ...). S'il contient les noms et prénoms des parents de l'intéressé, l'extrait s'appelle extrait avec filiation.

* Un extrait sans filiation ne contient pas les noms et prénoms des parents de l'intéressé.

* Un extrait plurilingue est un extrait d'acte d'état civil destiné à être utilisé à l'étranger.

I understand that what I sent will mostly help another brazilian, but my point was that you can just do an accurate translation and you will be fine. That's what we did.

Thanks for your answers

Can you request a plurilingue extrait on the internet then?

Do you happen to have the address or name of the website

So, I think that me (brazilian) couldn't do this translation...that should be another person, a friend, my husband...whoever

So, can I do that myself for sure?

I know more english than my husband know portuguese.

Teoricamente, vc não pode fazer a tradução, but....I did my own based on my friend's birth certificate. She already got her GC. She agreed with the modifications I made (cause ours were not totally identical) and she signed and notarized it for me. I have been working with translations for the last 3 years, if you want I check/correct yours. Do you know any other brazilian that could notarize it for you?

Ow, thanks

I will ask to a brazilian woman that I met last week, maybe she can sign that for me.

I didn't know that needed to be notarized.

Thanks a lot
