Birth Certificates
Civil birth records, parental details and registry information.
If you need a passport office translation for a birth certificate, marriage certificate, foreign passport, name-change record or other supporting document, Next Day Translation can help you prepare the necessary translation.
We prepare translations for supporting documents used in passport applications, including birth certificates, marriage certificates, foreign passports and other civil records.
If you are unsure what needs translating, send your document pack and any relevant HM Passport Office instructions for review before proceeding.
Translation needs depend on the evidence requested for your passport application. Common supporting documents include:
Civil birth records, parental details and registry information.
Marriage and civil partnership records used as supporting evidence.
Identity and personal information where translation is requested.
Documents explaining different names or spellings in an application.
Foreign civil documents relating to family circumstances.
Other official records requested as part of the application.
Foreign-language supporting documents may be needed for several different kinds of passport application.
Translations of civil records and supporting identity evidence.
Birth certificates and family records where requested.
Translations helping to explain name differences in documents.
Local civil records and official documents requiring English translation.
A certified translation can include the translated document, a signed accuracy statement, relevant translator or agency details and consistent document formatting.
We confirm the scope, quotation and turnaround before starting. The receiving authority determines its own document and certification requirements, so please share any specific instructions.
We can assess supporting documents in different languages and confirm the required translation direction and format.
For overseas-issued supporting documents submitted as part of a UK application.
For documents intended for overseas use, subject to local certification instructions.
