Individuals
[1ST level]
You are an individual and you need a certified translation.
All our translations are certified and notarized. This provides the highest level of translation certification for use in the U.S. It means also that an apostille can be obtained on our translations when requested by an authority in the receiving country or consulate.

Birth Certificate
Translation of birth certificates, done by a reputable firm and followed by an affidavit of accuracy (or translation certification) are accepted in the US. Other countries most often accept translations that conform to the standards of the country where the translation originated.
Be aware that New York birth certificates come in two formats, a short form and a long form (see specimens).
The short-form birth certificate is essentially an extract of the long-form certificate. It is widely accepted as long as the parents’ names are mentioned. When an apostille is required, you need to request the long form birth certificate as well as a letter of exemplification (see Apostille for birth and death certificate). If an Apostille is requested on the translation (often a requirement for applications for dual citizenship by the Belgium and Italian Consulates as well as other authorities), the notarized translation can be apostilled (see Obtaining an Apostille for a translation).

Your translated document will look very much like the original including the translation of stamps and seals and the notation of signatures. We pay a particular attention to the look of the translated documents. A translation done with care that is complete and easy to read is a plus for any application.

“Simply the best in NYC! Lovely couple and efficient, high quality work. Will never go anywhere else!”
Allison D., Manahattan, NY
“Excellent service. They translated 5 documents in 48 hours for a very reasonable price. They also sent me some additional official copies in less than 2 hours after a very urgent and unexpected request from the emigration administration. Thanks to their reactivity, I got all the approvals all I was looking for without them I would have probably lost a few weeks in long and stressful administrative process. They are reactive. Service oriented and professional. I highly recommend them.”
Cyrille Carillon, Manahattan, NY
“A & R recently handled a document translation project for me and they did a great job. They were helpful on the phone explaining logistics and pricing, and they did the work based on document scans before confirming with hard copies, which really speed things up. The translations look fantastic, and they were legalize-able by the French Consulate a few blocks away, so if that's what you need to have done, this is the place you want to go.”
Melmoth K. Yardley, PA
