Should be able to get from Taiwan.

Birth Certificates

Available. A household registration record (hukou) or extract thereof shows the name of the person, date of birth, names of parents and name of spouse, if married. The island of Taiwan was under Japanese rule from 1895 to 1945. The Japanese Government maintained the same system of household registration (koseki) as they did in other parts of Japan. This system of household registration, with minor changes, has been continued. Records concerning Taiwan Chinese, i.e., those who were Japanese nationals until the end of World War II, are fairly complete. Records on Chinese who came from the China mainland after World War II date back to the date they first applied for registration with the local household registration office, and are based on information provided by the applicant.

Military personnel are not registered in the household registration system, while foreigners are registered with the Foreign Affairs Police.

Extracts of household registration records may be obtained by furnishing the name of the person, date of birth, names of parents, and name of spouse, if married. However, only the provincial affiliation, not the place of birth, is given--so a person born in Taiwan whose father is from Shanghai will be entered as a native of Shanghai. Care should be taken to ensure that the applicant is submitting a properly certified extract of the household registration, and not just a photocopy of his Household Roster card. A properly certified extract will have a statement stamped on it, and will be impressed with the seal of the household registration in red ink. The Household Roster card is a simplified version of the household registration, but certain information which might be significant for visa purposes and which will appear in the certified extract will not appear in the Household Roster.

As mentioned above, foreign residents are registered with the Foreign Affairs Police. Children born of foreign fathers, since they are not granted citizenship by the Taiwan authorities, are usually registered with their own consular authorities. Persons born outside of Taiwan should be requested to obtain the documentation applicable to the country in which they were born.

Household Registration Records

Household registration records will contain entries regarding birth, death marriage, and divorce. Extracts of the household registration may therefore be accepted as prima facie evidence of this fact.

Do you have any friends who are fluent in Chinese and English? Any one can translate it and simply certify that they are fluent and capable of both languages, they note this on translation, sign date and give contact info.

USCIS explains this here.
