Late registration and delayed certificates
A recurring Houston issue is the delayed or late-registered birth certificate. In much of Central America, West Africa and South Asia, a birth registered years after the event is normal rather than suspicious, and the certificate says so on its face.
Translations must preserve that. If the document shows a registration date well after the date of birth, that is the document's own content and hiding it is inaccurate. Adjudicators know how to weigh late registration; what they cannot do is weigh a fact they were not shown.
The same applies to court-ordered birth declarations, which are common in Francophone West Africa and are judgments rather than registry extracts. The translation names the court.
English-language originals
Nigerian, Ghanaian, Liberian and Indian records are generally issued in English and need no translation at all. A significant share of Houston enquiries turn out this way.
Send the document before ordering. If it does not need translating, we will say so rather than sell you a translation of an English document.

الأسئلة الشائعة
My birth was registered years late. Is that a problem?
It is normal in many countries and adjudicators are familiar with it. The translation shows the registration date as printed, because concealing it would be inaccurate.
Do Nigerian or Indian documents need translating?
Usually not — they are generally in English. Send it to us first and we will confirm.
Does USCIS accept a court-ordered birth declaration?
It is evaluated as what it is, so the translation names the issuing court and identifies it as a judgment rather than a registry extract.
How fast can you turn a Houston job around?
24 hours as standard; expedited at +50% for 6-8 hours or +100% for 1-3 hours.
