Translation of Shenasnameh (Farsi Birth Certificate) for USCIS

Iranians who are looking to get their birth certificates translated in Los Angeles or other parts of the world usually want to know whether they have to get all the pages translated or the first page is sufficient. Many Iranians who contact us want to submit the certified translation of their birth certificate to USCIS. They are applying for a green card. We also hear from others who want to present their birth certificates to the DMV, a school, or an employer. We are familiar with the rules of immigration for foreign language documents and have translated dozens of documents from Farsi to English for immigration purposes. Our certified translations can be used for visa applications. They are completed by professional translators and meet the requirements of USCIS.

When it comes to the translation of foreign language documents for official use we are the experts. We have translated many documents including Farsi birth certificates into English for various purposes. A Persian birth certificate is called a “shenasnameh” and is in the form of a small booklet that resembles a passport. The cover page is dark red and has a few lines as well as the emblem of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The first page of a birth certificate from Iran contains the certificate holder’s basic information such as full name and date of birth. The certificate holder’s photo is affixed on the top right-hand corner. It also has the parents’ names, place of birth, and the place of issuance. The second page has the certificate holder’s marriage and divorce information. Individuals who have never been married have no handwritten text on this page of their birth certificate. However, since USCIS requires full birth certificates, we translate all the pages. The next page contains remarks such as information about the change of name. CACFTI is interested in translating your birth certificates and other personal documents from foreign languages into English.

Court Approved Arabic Translator

Leave a reply

American companies in the oil and gas sector that have formed a business relationship with an entity in the Middle East usually rely on a contract to establish the obligations of each party. Before they begin their partnership they might draft a contract in the Arabic language. Arabic speakers on their team could assist them in the process of writing the agreement. The parties should just make sure that the Arabic speakers on their team are familiar with the legal language and can help them prepare a legally binding agreement.

Why should the American party provide an Arabic language agreement to the party in the Middle East?

If disputes arise during the course of business and the parties want to take the case to a court in Los Angeles or other cities in the United States they probably need to show that the Arabic speaking party understood the contract. If they only provide a contract in the English language the Arabic speaking party can claim that they did not understand the terms of the agreement. Once the parties decide to settle the dispute through the court system they should seek the assistance of a court approved Arabic translator. Courts in the United States use the English language document to determine whether or not the plaintiff’s allegations have merit.

Why Assign the Task to a Court Approved Translator?

Cases related to breach of contract are often very sensitive. As a result, they require the attention of a detail-oriented translator who is familiar with the industry. Court appointed translators usually have keen eyes and can effectively translate sensitive documents. For example, an oil company’s agreement might deal with the sale and distribution of oil in various markets. The translator who executes the translation of such a document must know the technical terms pertaining to the oil industry and capture the exact meaning of the original document in its translation. The parties should make sure that their translator has a strong background in the subject matter.

Since the Islamic Revolution of 1979 many Iranians have left the country and tried to settle in foreign countries such as the United States. They have applied for various types of visas including family-based and asylum-based visas. A birth certificate is a common kind of document that Iranians have submitted with their application. They have sought professional Persian translation from a company that offers translations services for US immigration. It is essential for Farsi-speaking immigrants to provide a certified translation of their birth certificate (shenasnameh) when USCIS requests it. Sometimes immigration officials ask applicants to bring a copy of their translation to the interview. Divorce decrees, marriage licenses, vaccination records, diplomas, and ID cards are other types of documents that applicants might need to get translated.

Applicants might experience difficulties along the way if they fail to deliver their foreign-language documents exactly the way the authorities require. They have specific rules regarding translations that they enforce. For example, they need a copy of the Farsi document to be attached to its certified translation. Professionals who specialize in US immigration do not usually suggest that Farsi-speakers who are proficient in English translate their own birth certificates or other documents. Instead, they recommend that they submit their Farsi-language documents to a company that offers Persian translation services. Assigning the task to a professional translator ensures accuracy and neutrality. In addition, professional translators provide their official certification, which you can submit with your application.

We have translated many documents for US immigration applications and cover all the major world languages including Persian.

Iranians who are working on a visa application often ask us whether the small booklet they have is equivalent to a birth certificate. Provinces in Iran issue a shenasnameh or birth certificate that contains multiple pages. This small booklet looks slightly different from the birth certificates that are issued in the United States. The first page includes a summary of the certificate holder’s personal information such as place of birth and parent’s first names. A page similar to the image on the side contains some notes for the certificate holder.

The second page has the information of the certificate holder’s spouse and children. The next page has space for notes and death information. The office of vital records uses this space to record any changes to the certificate holder’s name. For instance, if the card holder changed his last name the office of vital record mentions when the change was made and under which law.

Iranians who are looking for certified translations of their birth certificate for USCIS should submit all the pages of their shenasnameh. Some of our clients who are unfamiliar with the requirements of the immigration department only submit the first page of their birth certificate. They assume that the other pages are not relevant to their application. We usually explain that USCIS does not accept summaries or extracts. USCIS expects a complete translation of all the pages of the booklet.

CACFTI has translated many documents including birth certificates, marriage licenses, and divorce decrees from Farsi to English.

Certified & Notarized Translations for Academic Documents

Leave a reply

International students who are in the process of applying to a college in the United States often wonder how they can get a certified and notarized translation for their transcripts. Their school records are in a foreign language and as such have to be translated into English. Academic document translation services are very important to the application process. International applicants have to get in touch with a reliable firm that provides high-quality translations to make sure the schools get a clear translation of their documents.

Do I Get My Translations Certified or Notarized?
Since schools in the United States do not typically have their own professional translators, they ask their international applicants to provide certified translations. Many educational institutions throughout the country request the certified translation of foreign-language documents while others expect certified and notarized translations. Students who have non-English language transcripts and are applying to a school in the United States should check with the admissions office to find out whether they have to present a certified and notarized translation for their academic documents. Notarized translations are very similar to certified translations. The only difference is that a notary public’s acknowledgement is attached to the translation. Nevertheless, some institutions prefer to have the notary’s acknowledgement form along with the certification.

I Am Fluent in English. Can I Translate My Academic Documents?
Many colleges, universities, and vocational schools require foreign-language documents to be translated by an unbiased translator. In addition, they prefer a professional translator who can faithfully translate the academic records. Even if you speak English fluently there is a chance that the translation you prepare is inaccurate because you are not familiar with the educational system in the United States.

CACFTI’s Approach to Academic Translations
We understand that you have put a lot of time and energy into your academic work and therefore expect to get in touch with an academic translator who can accurately translate your documents for US schools. Our approach to certified translations for academic documents is very unique. We take our job very seriously because we understand that schools review these documents very carefully in the admissions process. You cannot submit your complete paperwork without the professional translation of their academic records because colleges and universities need to know how you performed in your home country to decide whether you qualify for their programs. We assign your academic documents to translators who have extensive experience in the translation of diplomas, transcripts, student ID cards, report cards, etc. We proofread all the translations to make sure everything has been typed in correctly and is ready to submit to the schools of your choice. We can either email the electronic copy to the admissions office or we can mail the hard copy. Please check the deadlines to make sure you get everything to the schools on time.
