Certified Japanese birth certificate translation for USCIS and worldwide

A birth certificate is a foundational identity record. When you are moving from Japan to the United States—or from the U.S. to Japan—you will often need a precise, certified translation for immigration, visa applications, school enrollment, passport renewals, or background checks. Our linguists specialize in Japanese vital records, ensuring correct name transliteration, place names, and date formats aligned with destination-country standards.

Every delivery includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy, matching the standard required by USCIS and many international authorities. We replicate the structure of the original document in English, clearly marking seals and annotations, while preserving all essential data. Pricing is transparent: certified translations are $32.90 per page, while standard (non-certified) translation is $0.06 per word for supporting documents.

Expect fast and reliable turnaround—most orders are completed in 24–48 hours, with same-day rush available for urgent cases. You will receive a secure, password-protected PDF and, upon request, mailed hard copies for agencies that require originals or wet signatures. We also offer notarization upon request for jurisdictions that ask for it.

Japanese documents present unique considerations: kanji and kana variants, name order (family name first), and romanization rules. We follow your official passport spelling where applicable and can include furigana guidance when the original provides it. We standardize dates from Japanese era (gengō) or YYYY/MM/DD formats into U.S.-friendly formats while preserving the original form in parentheses if needed for clarity.

Our process is simple and secure: upload a high-resolution scan or photo, confirm spellings, and select certified or notarized options. A senior reviewer performs quality checks for completeness, terminology, and layout fidelity. Final files include our company letterhead, translator attestation, signature, and date—aligned with USCIS and international best practices.

For U.S. immigration, our certified translations are routinely accepted by USCIS, state DMVs, family courts, and universities. Internationally, they are recognized by many consulates, foreign ministries, and academic institutions. If your case involves apostille or legalization, we can coordinate the translation to match the required sequence, helping you avoid delays.

We are known for attentive customer care, with a 98% customer return rate. Your data is handled confidentially with secure payment processing and restricted access to files. If anything changes, free revisions ensure your translation stays accurate and compliant throughout your application timeline.
