WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Argentine Birth Certificate (Partida de Nacimiento (Acta de Nacimiento))
Argentina's birth record is the "partida" or "acta de nacimiento," issued not by RENAPER but by the provincial Registro del Estado Civil y Capacidad de las Personas where the birth was inscribed — each province and the Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA) runs its own registry. Older certificates are photocopies of the bound-book folio, stamped and hand-signed; since roughly 2019 most jurisdictions issue a "partida digital" with a QR code, CUIL, and firma digital validation legend. Every copy carries the tomo, folio, acta and año references plus any notas marginales (marriage, recognition, adoption). For USCIS (I-130, adjustment, N-400) translate the entire document — including those marginal annotations and the digital-signature block, not just the body — since an omitted note reads as an incomplete translation. Do not substitute the DNI card, which USCIS rejects as identity evidence rather than a birth record. Provide the translator's signed certification of competency; USCIS does not require the Hague apostille that Argentine consular use demands.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Argentine Birth Certificate Comes From
In Argentina, civil-status records come from the Registro del Estado Civil y Capacidad de las Personas (Civil Registry and Capacity of Persons). Argentina has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 1988, so documents are authenticated with a single apostille rather than consular legalization.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Argentine Birth Certificate Translated
For your Argentine birth certificate, USCIS requires a complete English translation of everything on the page — the issuing office’s details, seals, and any marginal notes included — plus a signed certification of accuracy under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Machine translation cannot sign that certification. We reproduce the document's exact layout so an officer can compare it line by line against your Argentine original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Argentine Birth Certificate Pitfalls
Argentine birth certificates carry parent names and often marginal notes (later corrections, adoptions, or legitimations); USCIS compares them against your passport and forms, so an omitted annotation or a transposed surname is one of the most common causes of a Request for Evidence.
Native Argentine Specialist
A native speaker of your document's language handles it — not a generalist or a machine.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Argentine birth certificate translation cost?
A standard Argentine birth certificate is typically $15-25 total, certified and formatted, delivered in 24-48 hours. Pricing is $0.05 per word; longer or multi-page documents are quoted exactly before you pay.
Is your Argentine birth certificate translation accepted by USCIS?
Yes. Every translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy meeting 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). If USCIS rejects it citing the translation, we correct it free and reimburse your resubmission fee.
Do I need to apostille my Argentine documents before or after translation?
They are separate steps. Order the apostille from the Cancillería (or electronically through the TAD platform) for the original Spanish document, then send us the full apostilled document — we translate the acta and the apostille page together so USCIS sees both the record and its authentication in English.
