Venezuelan birth certificate translation

[vivianforest 0]

I need some help from Venezuelan people....

I brought my venezuelan Birth certificate Legalize (It means the Birth-1 page plus the others sheets from the Interior and Foreign Ministers that they attached to the Birth certificate with stamps and other writings certifying the hand written sign of the civil registrator of the parish is authentical ......Venezuelan people will know what I mean....

My question is.... for the AOS I need to send a translation of this document....so we talk to some US lawyers and I had differents answers on how the translation should be:

1) Just the only page where the birth certificate is written (my name, date of birth, parents names, etc) and signed by the parish registator.

2) All the pages including the ones attached from the Internal and Foreign Minister (Haya Convention - Apostilla), even some of them just say something like this: I, Peter XXXX, main register of this parish certify that Im able to legalize the hand written sign of the previous document.....

And in both cases, signed by the translator and a notary???

What about if I do the translation in Venezuela...I know US embassy in Caracas have a list of certified translators....Do they Notarize it too???....

What should I do???...Im so confused!! :bonk:

Thanks

If you have requested the birth cert for use within Venezuela, will it have all the pages you listed or just the first page?

Since you mention apostilla, it seems it is a cert meant to be use in another country; but USCIS would not care much about it (IMHO, hopefully someone from Venezuela can answer also)

If only the first page, then translate first page only. Otherwise, you might need to do them all.

You can translate yourself, no need to notarize

For the embassy interview they only requiere birth certificate in spanish (legalize and Haya apostilla). They only ask for a copy, so I didnt give them the original.

Now for the AOS they ask for the translation too. What I dont know if all the legalize and apostilla has to be translated also or just the one page of the Birth certificate.

According to the person who answer from polland (thanks) Yes ...you do the legalize and apostilla so the document is valid outside the country. If I was going to use it inside the country I didnt have to make the apostilla in the Foreign Minister. When we send our I-129 we include a copy of the Birth certificate (NOT LEGALIZED) and a translation made by an US certified translator....Only ONE page. But to the embassy interview they requested a complete legalize and apostilla document IN SPANISH. Not translations were requiered.

Now the question is....For the AOS...will that same ONE page Birth (NOT LEGALIZED and NOT APOSTILLA) and translation work??? OR Do I have to translate the complete 5 pages document (LEGALIZED an APOSTILLA)....cause those others 4 pages doesnt say anything about my birth dates, parents, etc...just are pages with stamps and writings identifying the Internal or Foreign minister and saying previous signatures are correct and refering to some oficial resolutions...but I mean nothing related to my personal information.
