Birth Certificate Translated
You are looking for a Traductor Judicial. They are certified by the Supreme Court and are given a number. They attach stamps and rubber stamps to their documents. A birth certificate should cost around RD$500 +/-, depending on where you are.
In Santiago we are proud to have the #1 Traductor Jur?dico, Nene Jorge. Let me know if you need her number...

If in the Bronx or Washington Height, almost all the Dominican envios agencies has somebody that do translations. Anybody can do translation. You only has to certify that you have enough knowledge of both language and it has to be notarized.
For mine I went to a Dominican professor in Brooklyn. He is a notary. For my daughter I did it my self. Years ago I paid $10.00 for the translation and $2.00 for the notary.

translations in US or DR?
I read somewhere that it?s much less expensive to have documents translated in the US than in DR. Is this true? If so, will the DR govt. accept documents (birth certificate, divorce decree, marriage cert) translated and notarized from the states when applying for residency? I have only seen that documents must be translated there in the DR by an official translator.
side note: there is no Dominican Embassy or Consulate here in Nevada. I can?t even locate dominicans here in Las Vegas, tho I know they exist at the university and in the casinos. (Ay! Mexico has taken over! ' B4 anyone jumps on my case, this is not a bad thing, just an observation. I love Mexico, but I love the DR more.) The nearest one (consulate) is in LA and I?m not interested in travelling there.
Thanks,

I'm almost certain it will be cheaper in the US based on the fact that I had my birth certificate translated here in Santiago and it barely had 5 lines of text and they charged me US30. From what I remember back in Orlando Florida I checked and they charged US10 for the same service.
Just remember that Dominicans think what should be charged depends mostly on what they think they can get from you. The good and the bad do this here and they think nothing of it - in fact I'm sure it is considered a good quality if one is able to "milk" a few pesos out of whatever deal.
where to go? who to call?
I still don't understand. Does it have to be translated at an embassy? If I get it translated in the DR, who should I contact and how? Is there an office or person in Higuey or Santiago? Or do I have to go to a govt. office in Sto. Dom?
Thanks for the help! I'll be there in 9 days . Can't wait!

yes, otherwise I could translate it or have it translated here, for free, and then notarized, for free, that it's an accurate translation. But why put my friends through that?

What I recommend you do based on the fact that I'm in the same process is get the birth certificate translated in the US. REMEMBER that the local Dominican Consulte must certify the document in the States before you can apply for residency here in the DR. They will not accept you're application here without that certification so there is just no point in having it done here in the DR and then sending it back to the US. In fact I had mine translated here in the DR and when I was working with the agency in the US (that was working with the consulate) they called the Domincan Consulate in Miami to make sure that they could even take a translation form the DR because everybody always has the documents certified in the US.
Please search the forums for Dom. Consulates in the US and contact them or try to find an Agency to do it on your behalf(a lot less headache for poco dinero).
Also the turnaround time for the certification from Miami was one week and I didn't even have to go there - we just mailed the stuff from Orlando.
Good Luck.
Thanks for your help!
Thanks for the info. The nearest Dom. consulate to me is Los Angeles. With the time it takes for mail, guess I?ll start the residency process on my next trip (fingers crossed, September). oh Well, less time spent on govt. offices and paperwork, and more time to enjoy myself on this trip (leaving in 9 days and counting - I couldn?t count very well yesterday)...and to explore the work prospects.
