I got my birth certificate translated, the CIC guide asks to attach a "certified" copy of the birth certificate. Does this copy have to certified by translator or notary? I have got a translator stamp on the copy as well. Is that enough?

From which country/ state you got the Birth Cert ? ... better check with them (Municipal Corporation) for issuing an English version by paying some extra fees- you'll get an official copy in Eng :)

I got my wife's birth certificate translated to English.. from a village of INDIA. Its simple, you just need to fill a form and show your original birth certificate. Or you also can translate the same format in English and notarize it.

Good for you. Why should they give English BC? India has its own language and heritage dude. :) Not an Indian, but love it.

Ok.. then get your Birth certificate translated by a Notary not just any translator. There are some Notary ("Authorised Translator") who does the translation work as well. OR, you can get the translated copy which you attested by a Notary (I'm not sure if this option will work), you'll anyways pay the Notary for attestation, instead better to find 'Authorised Translator', he might charge you 100-200 bucks. Also, ensure you attach the hindi/ vernacular copy of your original BC attested by the same Notary along with the translated copy when you submit to CIO.

I'm from Delhi, India and got my BC in English. If you got it in some other language, get it translated with a certified translator.
