Birthcertificate is in Tamil (Name, Name of Parents etc). How do we get a birth certificate in English?

Question

The Registrar who issued the original birthcertificate is not willing to even add the English name in brackets. The chennai corporation is willing to do it whereas this is outside chennai and the registrar is not ready to issue. Is there any formal procedure?

Answer 1

Certified translations for all foreign language documents: The translator must certify that s/he is competent to translate and that the translation is accurate.

The certification format should include the certifier's name, signature, address, and date of certification. A suggested format is:

Certification by Translator

I [typed name], certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and ________ languages, and that the above/attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached entitled ______________________________.

Signature_____________________________...

Date Typed Name

Address

Answer 2

While I agree with what" twc" has stated,I would suggest you write a strong letter to the Cabinet Secretary of the State

government explaining your problem and difficulty and seek his solution.

Answer 3

Get the certifate translated and attested to English from someone who has M.A in Tamil, this is legally valid.
