Do you translate the marginal notes?

Yes. Notas marginales can record recognition by a parent, corrections or a later marriage, so they are translated with the main entry.

Is the Spanish certificado plurilingüe enough on its own?

It is a multilingual extract of the civil-status entry with field headings in several languages; it is not the same as the separate EU multilingual standard forms. Whether a translation is needed is decided by the organisation receiving it; if it asks for one, we translate it like any other birth record.

My Mexican acta was printed online. Can you translate it?

Yes. We translate the printed acta including its identifier code and QR reference; we do not verify it against the registry.

Spanish Birth Certificate TranslationActa de nacimiento, partida de nacimiento, certificado literal de nacimiento, registro civil de nacimiento

Birth records in Spanish look very different depending on where they were issued. Spain issues extracts and the full certificado literal from the Registro Civil; Mexico's acta de nacimiento carries a CURP and identifier code; Colombia's registro civil de nacimiento has a serial number, NUIP and notas marginales; Argentina and Peru often call it a partida. We translate the version you hold in full, including stamps, marginal notes and any apostille.

Names, script and upload tips

Many Spanish-language records show two surnames, but the number and order vary: Spain allows parents to choose the order, and Latin American practice differs by country. Some older Spanish and Latin American records also record a married woman's name with 'de'. We reproduce every name exactly as registered and do not merge, drop or reorder surnames to match other documents.

Include every page and the reverse if it carries marginal notes, seals or an apostille
Make sure the identifier, serial or QR code is sharp — it is reproduced in the translation
Handwritten older entries: photograph in good light without cropping the margins
