Hong Kong birth certificates
A Hong Kong birth certificate is printed in Chinese and English, and much of it can be read by an English-speaking officer as it stands. What cannot is the Chinese: the name in characters, and any entry or endorsement written only in Chinese. Where the receiving office asks for a translation, a certified translation accounts for every Chinese element and reproduces the English, so nothing on the certificate is left unexplained.
Cantonese romanisation of names often differs from the pinyin a mainland document would use. We follow the passport spelling and show the characters.
