Indian documents need more than a dictionary
A Hindi birth certificate from a nagar nigam, a handwritten tehsil register from the 1980s, and a modern bilingual certificate are three different translation jobs. Devanagari transliteration decisions must match your passport, official designations like tehsildar need consistent rendering, and older records demand patience with handwriting rather than guesses. If your document is village-issued or late-issued, read the free guide to Indian village birth certificates, it covers the NABC route and the 1970 rule.
Questions people ask
Can you read old handwritten Hindi records?
Yes, that is our specialty. Handwritten municipal and village register extracts are translated line by line by a native Hindi speaker. Anything genuinely illegible is marked as illegible at its position rather than guessed, which is what correct practice requires. Handwritten documents take one extra business day.
My certificate is half Hindi, half English. How is that handled?
Only the Hindi portions are translated. The English text is transcribed exactly as printed and cross-checked against your passport spelling, so the whole document reads consistently for the officer.
The spelling of my name in Hindi does not match my passport. What happens?
Transliteration mismatches are the most common trigger for USCIS questions on Indian documents. The translation stays faithful to the document, we flag the mismatch to you before signing, and the variation is then addressed with supporting evidence, usually an affidavit. What we never do is silently harmonize the spelling.
