Urdu Birth Certificate Translation
Certified Urdu to English translation of Pakistani birth certificates for UK spouse visa, USCIS, and Canadian immigration applications. Fast, accurate, and guaranteed.
What Is a Pakistani Birth Certificate?
A Pakistani birth certificate is the official government record of a person's birth, identity, and parentage. It is issued either by the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) or by a local Union Council office, depending on when the birth was registered and in which district. Pakistani birth certificates are written entirely in Urdu, which means a certified Urdu to English translation is required whenever the document needs to be submitted overseas.
For British Pakistanis applying for a UK visa, overseas Pakistanis filing immigration petitions with USCIS, and Pakistani communities in Canada applying through IRCC, the birth certificate is one of the most consistently requested supporting documents. Immigration authorities use it to verify identity, establish parentage, and cross-reference names against other submitted documents such as the Nikah Nama and Family Registration Certificate.
At Pro Translation Service, we translate Pakistani birth certificates from Urdu to English with full certification. Our translations cover NADRA computerised birth certificates, older Union Council birth records, B-Forms, and MOFA-attested copies â all at the same flat rate per page.
Types of Pakistani Birth Certificates We Translate
Pakistani birth certificates come in several formats depending on when and where the birth was registered. We translate all of the following with the same certified accuracy and flat rate per page.
NADRA Computerised Birth Certificate
The standard computerised format issued through NADRA's national database. Includes a barcode, registration number, parents' details, and official NADRA security features. The most commonly requested format for UK, US, and Canadian immigration applications.
Union Council Birth Certificate
Issued by local Union Council offices, particularly for births registered before NADRA computerisation. May be handwritten or typed in Urdu on government letterhead with the registrar's signature and official stamp. Fully accepted by immigration authorities with a certified English translation.
B-Form (Child Registration Certificate)
The NADRA-issued registration document for children under 18 who have not yet been issued a CNIC. The B-Form lists the child's name, date of birth, and parents' registration numbers. Required in immigration applications involving dependent children.
MOFA-Attested Birth Certificate
A birth certificate already attested by Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs for international use. We translate MOFA-attested copies and clearly note all attestation stamps and endorsements in the English translation, as required by most immigration authorities.

Certified Birth Certificate Translation Requirements: UK, US, and Canada
Each immigration authority has specific requirements for how a certified translation must be prepared. Our translations are formatted to meet the standards of all three major English-speaking immigration systems.
United Kingdom: UKVI and Home Office Requirements
UK Visas and Immigration requires that all foreign-language documents are accompanied by a certified English translation prepared by a professional translator, with a signed statement confirming accuracy and completeness. Home Office guidance confirms that every translated document must include confirmation from the translator that it is an accurate translation of the original.
United States: USCIS Translation Requirements
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), USCIS requires a certified English translation of every document not originally written in English. The translator must certify in writing that the translation is complete and accurate, that they are competent to translate from Urdu to English, and must include their full name, address, and date.
Canada: IRCC Translation Requirements
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada requires certified English or French translations of all supporting documents not in those languages. IRCC guidance states that the translator must certify the accuracy of the translation and confirm their competency in both Urdu and English.

Other Pakistani Documents You May Need Translated
A Pakistani birth certificate is one of several documents that UK, US, and Canadian immigration authorities typically request together. Translating everything in a single order is the most efficient approach and avoids delays.
For a UK spouse visa or USCIS I-130 petition, your birth certificate is usually submitted alongside a certified Nikah Nama translation to establish the marriage, and a Family Registration Certificate translation to confirm family relationships. Where either applicant has previously been married in Pakistan, a certified divorce certificate translation is also required before the application can proceed.
All documents can be uploaded together in a single order. Our Pakistani document translation services page covers every NADRA, Union Council, and Family Court document that UK, US, and Canadian immigration applications commonly require. Each page is priced at the flat rate of $22.99 with no minimum order.
