My birth certificate is in french and has to be translated in english for my interview at the Montreal consulate. Do i really have to hire a translator or could i translate it myself ? I did try to get it in english with my goverment but since my birth was registered in french there is no possibility to get it in another language !

Any suggestion ?

Thanks :)

Someone else will have to answer about translating it yourself but for all of my translations I used a website service. Got everything back in 24 hours or less.

Anyone fluent in both languages can do the translations. The person that does the translation must add a certification like this: http://www.visajourney.com/content/translations

The translated document can be done on a regular sheet of paper ?

You can do it yourself. Add this statement to the translation:

I, _____________________ certify I am competent in the French and English languages and that this is an accurate translation of the ______________________(name of document). Translated from the original on _____________________(date)

__________________________________________________

Signature of translator

Name of translator

address of translator

phone number of translator
