Certified Birth Certificate Translation in Canada


A birth certificate translation is one of the most frequently requested certified translations in Canada. It is required for a wide range of official purposes, including:
Permanent residency and citizenship applications through Citizenship and Immigration Canada (IRCC)
Visa applications via Canadian Embassies and consulates worldwide
Enrollment in schools and universities
Employment background checks
Banking, pension, and insurance procedures
At DocsBase Canada, we specialize in fast and accurate translations of birth certificates that meet the specific requirements of each institution.
Why Accurate Birth Certificate Translation Matters
Although birth certificates are generally standard-form documents, accuracy is essential. Errors in name spelling, dates, or place names can result in serious delays or rejections by immigration and government authorities.
Our team ensures that:
Names are spelled correctly, matching your passport or ID
Dates are formatted correctly for Canadian use (DD/MM/YYYY)
Official institutions, numbers, and places are translated precisely
Every detail of the original document is reflected in the translation
We apply a strict quality assurance process to every birth certificate translation, ensuring a professional and error-free final product.
Certification and Notarization Options
Most organizations require the certified translation of a birth certificate. In Canada, this usually means a translation that is signed and stamped by a qualified translator and may also be:
Notarized by a licensed notary public (available in-house at DocsBase Canada)
Accompanied by a certified true copy of the original birth certificate, if required
Some institutions, such as universities or employers, may accept a translator-certified document without notarization. Our experienced staff can advise you on what level of certification your translation will need, depending on its intended use.
