I was born in another country where English is one of the main languages. Birth certificate field names are in all three languages. But my birth information is only written in one of the non-English languages. Now I am in another country as naturalized citizen.

Do I have to translate the birth certificate to English? Do I have to go to lawyer with the translated birth certificate and notarize it? All my birth information like name, city, province, father's and mother's information is in my mother tongue and the US Consulate won't be able make sense of the information written on it or verify the information which I have stated on the application.

bumping the thread. Hello, someone probably have gone through this before. This is pretty common among DV winners(which I am not) born in one country but living in another.

If its not in English, then yes, you need to get the birth certificate translated to English.
