Birth Certificate Translation in Florida

A Cuban certificación de nacimiento is issued by the Registro Civil from a bound registry book, and identifies the entry by tomo and folio. Those references are how the record is found again and they belong in the translation exactly as printed, along with any marginal notes recording later changes.

Haitian records work differently. What most applicants hold is an extrait des archives - an extract drawn from the national archives, often issued years after the birth, in French with occasional Creole annotations. It is translated as an extract, with its own issue date shown, because presenting it as the original registration would misstate what it is.

Venezuelan, Colombian and Brazilian records complete the picture. Colombian certificates may be issued by the Registraduría or by a notary acting as registrar; Brazilian ones by a private cartório under state delegation. The issuing office is named as it appears, whichever it is.
