Older Registry Formats Are Still Translatable
A Pakistani birth certificate can come from a modern computerized registry (NADRA) or an older handwritten municipal record, and both need the same careful treatment: every printed line, handwritten note, and seal rendered into English, with nothing left out. USCIS rejects translations that omit content, so our translators flag anything illegible rather than guessing at it.
“Any document containing foreign language submitted to USCIS shall be accompanied by a full English language translation which the translator has certified as complete and accurate, and by the translator’s certification that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English.”
— American Translators Association, summary of the federal certified-translation requirement, citing 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)

Frequently Asked Questions
My child’s birth certificate is an older handwritten municipal record, not a NADRA printout. Can that still be translated?
Yes. A certified translator renders everything on the page, printed text, handwritten notes, and seals, and flags anything illegible rather than skipping it.
Does Plano ISD accept a translated Urdu birth certificate for school enrollment?
Schools generally require a certified English translation of any foreign-language birth certificate for enrollment. Check with the specific campus for its exact documentation process.
Can I submit a photo of the birth certificate instead of the physical original?
Yes, a clear scan or photo is enough to work from. Keep the physical original in a safe place in case it’s needed later.
How fast can I get a certified Urdu birth certificate translation?
Most documents are ready within 24-48 hours. Same-day rush service is available for time-sensitive filings.
