WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Venezuelan Birth Certificate (Partida de Nacimiento (Acta de Nacimiento))
A Venezuelan Partida de Nacimiento is not a printed certificate on security paper but a faithful transcription of the entry in the municipal Registro Civil's bound birth book (libro de nacimientos). Since the 2009 Ley Orgánica de Registro Civil, many births are first recorded at a Unidad de Registro Civil located inside the maternity hospital, and copies are then issued by that Registro Civil or by the Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE). The copy carries no watermark — only the registrar's seal, signature and the standard wording "es copia fiel del original." Older entries are handwritten and frequently bear notas marginales recording a later marriage, a judicial rectification of name, or a death, and each annotation plus both the paternal and maternal surname must reappear in the certified English translation so the name matches the applicant's SAIME cédula and passport exactly. Newer copies pulled from the SAREN portal add a QR validation code. For I-130 and I-485 filings USCIS compares this line by line, so nothing is summarized or omitted.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Venezuelan Birth Certificate Comes From
In Venezuela, civil-status records come from the Registro Civil (Civil Registry), overseen by the Consejo Nacional Electoral / CNE (National Electoral Council) through its Comisión de Registro Civil y Electoral; notarial and legalization functions run through SAREN (Servicio Autónomo de Registros y Notarías). Venezuela is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so a single apostille (apostilla) from the Ministerio del Poder Popular para Relaciones Exteriores (MPPRE) — increasingly issued through its electronic apostille portal — authenticates the document for USCIS, and no US embassy or consular legalization is required.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Venezuelan Birth Certificate Translated
For your Venezuelan 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 Venezuelan original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Venezuelan Birth Certificate Pitfalls
Venezuelan 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 Venezuelan Specialist
A native speaker of your document's language handles it — not a generalist or a machine.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Venezuelan birth certificate translation cost?
A standard Venezuelan 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 Venezuelan 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.
Does my Venezuelan document need an apostille before you translate it?
Venezuela is a Hague Apostille member, so US authorities accept an apostilla from the Ministerio del Poder Popular para Relaciones Exteriores (increasingly issued through its electronic portal) instead of embassy legalization. USCIS itself only requires a certified English translation — the apostille is about authenticity, not translation — but if your attorney or the receiving agency asks for it, get the apostille first and we will translate the document and the apostille together.
