Korean Birth Certificate Translation for USA USCIS

Frequently Asked Questions

Does USCIS require notarized translation for birth certificates?

USCIS generally requires certified translation, not always notarization, unless specifically requested in your process.

Can I submit a cropped image of my birth certificate?

Avoid cropped files. Missing stamp or note areas can trigger review issues or follow-up requests.

Will this translation include every visible field?

Yes. Official-use translations should cover all meaningful text, including notes and issuer details.
