- A written statement or certification as it is known is issued when a birth certificate is translated. Such a document must include all the details related to the translator, the date of translation, and a declaration that the translation in question is accurate.
- Only certified translators can handle such translations for birth certificates. They must be registered with the Institute of Translation & Interpreting or be members of the Institute of Linguists in the UK.
