PHILIPPINES filer for CR1/CR2

[abby2tim 0]

I sent my son's DS-230 and civil documents to the NVC and i got an email from the NVC after they got the DS-230 and civil documents asking for my son's original birth certificate. I already submitted his REPORT OF BIRTH ABROAD from NSO but they said they need the original birth certificate. My son is born in Japan but he's a full Filipino citizen. I have his original birth certificate from Japan but it's in Japanese. My question is, where can I get it translated here in the Philippines? NVC said it should be certified BY a CERTIFIED TRANSLATOR. PLEASE HELP ME! I am new in this forum

Yes, it must be done thru certified translator. You can search for this on Google. Find the best price one.

I google for this, and I found a company in USA, they asked me $75 USD and each extra copy $10. Plus extra for $30 if one needs faster shipping. Of course, they know what they do. After that, I did a quick research to find a certified translator in India, and I paid $50 USD for 3 copies with faster shipping.

So better to try to find one in your country, and if you dont find, then let me know so I can give that US company site name. Of course, they are expensive. Like budget should be around up to $100 USD.

"Translation by a Fluent Speaker of the Language" This link may shed some light on your problem. The translator just needs to be fluent in reading and writing the language so that they may accurately translate it for you. I doubt the Embassy will give you any ideas on translators. Worst case take it to the Japanese Embassy and ask there. There is a template on the thread I listed that will suffice for the certification, just make sure the translator is able to do the work. Best of luck!!
