Birth Certificate Translation in Jersey City, NJ
Births in Jersey City are registered with the city's own local registrar of vital statistics, which is where a Jersey City-born resident orders a certified copy. Foreign birth records travel the other way - into English, for filings at the USCIS field office in Newark.
Our office is a short drive north, in Edgewater. You can upload your documents, or bring the originals to 20A Maple St in person.

Egyptian and Filipino birth records
Jersey City's Egyptian community - much of it Coptic, centred around Journal Square - brings computerised Egyptian birth certificates issued by the Civil Registry. These carry the 14-digit national identity number, which encodes the date of birth and ties the certificate to the holder's identity card. It is reproduced exactly, because a reviewer will check it against the ID.
Filipino residents are the other large group, and their situation is the reverse: a Philippine Statistics Authority certificate is issued in English and needs no translation at all. What Filipino parents of a Jersey City-born child more often need is the child's New Jersey certificate for the Report of Birth filed with the Philippine consulate.
