Hello,

Can I submit an English translation of a basic foreign document that I have translated myself? In our case a German "Abstammungurkunde" which is similar to a birth certificate but also lists the natural parents of an adopted child. I am fluent in German and English. My parents are both U.S. citizens by birth.

As part of the AOS filing for my minor sister (a German citizen), we received a Request for Evidence. Weve submitted the a copy of the original birth certificate with the original filing but a seperate birth certificate listing her birth parents is required.

There may not be enough time to have the document translated by an outside source so I am wondering if I could submit a notarized affadavit or sworn statement along with my translation.

Thank You!

You can translate and go to the notary to verify your signature. Id think that should be enough.

Thanks for the info

I think it will be OK.
