USCIS Green Card: NABC Translation Needed (Kerala Birth, No Birth Certificate)


 If you were born in Kerala in the 1960s and never received a birth certificate, don’t worry — USCIS accepts a Non-Availability of Birth Certificate (NABC) as proof for your Green Card (I-485) process, provided it’s translated into English and properly certified.

Translation Requirements:
USCIS requires a certified English translation from a professional translator — preferably ATA-certified or through NRIWAY’s certified translation service that meets USCIS standards.

What to Submit with NABC:

  • NABC issued by your municipal or panchayat office

  • School leaving certificate or educational records

  • Aadhaar, PAN, or Passport copy

  • Affidavits from parents or close relatives confirming birth details

How NRIWAY Supports You:

  • Help in obtaining NABC from Kerala

  • Provide certified translation and affidavit drafting

  • Ensure all documents are USCIS-ready for your Green Card application

Even if your birth was never registered, NRIWAY ensures your NABC and supporting documents meet all requirements for smooth processing with USCIS.
