Birth Certificate Translation in Georgia

Gwinnett County has one of the largest Korean communities in the Southeast. Korean birth details are shown on the basic certificate from the family relationship registry, and a US filing usually needs that certificate rather than an older family register.

Ethiopian records are in Amharic and dated by the Ethiopian calendar, which runs seven to eight years behind the Gregorian. The translation shows the date as printed and the Gregorian equivalent beside it, never one in place of the other.

Nigerian birth certificates, issued by the National Population Commission, are in English and need no translation - though a late registration may need supporting evidence.

Parents registering a Georgia-born child with a foreign civil registry need an apostille from the Cooperative Authority and then a translation into the registry's language. For countries outside the Hague Convention - Ethiopia and Nigeria among them - consular legalisation replaces the apostille.
