Birth Certificate Translation in Washington, DC
Two kinds of US birth record are handled in Washington, and they are authenticated by different offices. A DC birth certificate, issued by DC Health's Vital Records Division, is apostilled by the DC Office of the Secretary. A Consular Report of Birth Abroad - the federal record of a US citizen born overseas - is a federal document, and only the US Department of State's Office of Authentications can authenticate it.

Diplomatic and international families
Washington's embassies and international organisations mean many families here have children born in several countries, and birth records in several languages and formats in a single household file. A World Bank or IMF family might hold a Consular Report of Birth Abroad for one child, a DC certificate for another, and a foreign civil record for a third.
Each is translated or authenticated on its own terms. The set is quoted as one job, and names are kept consistent across it.
Inbound records
The region's largest communities - Salvadoran, Ethiopian, Nigerian and Vietnamese among them - bring the usual variety. USCIS filings for DC residents are processed at the Washington field office, which is in Fairfax, Virginia.
