South Burlington by the numbers
Census Reporter’s ACS profile counts 20,756 residents in South Burlington and reports that 12.7% of them were born outside the United States. The same profile gives Vermont’s statewide share as 4.3%, so the city’s proportion is roughly three times the state’s. It also shows 67.6% of adults holding a bachelor’s degree or higher.
Those figures describe the city, not our customers. What they do explain is why offices here regularly see foreign birth, marriage and academic records that need an English version.

The South Burlington City Clerk and Vermont vital records
South Burlington has its own City Clerk, separate from Burlington’s Clerk/Treasurer. Under Vermont’s system, town and city clerks issue certified copies of birth, death, marriage and civil union certificates from January 1, 1909 forward, and the Vermont Department of Health calls the local clerk the fastest and cheapest way to order.
If you were born or married abroad, the clerk cannot issue your record. You bring the foreign original, and the office you are dealing with tells you whether it needs a certified translation.

Courts that hear South Burlington cases

- Civil and probate. 175 Main Street, Burlington, VT 05401.

The Judiciary’s manual prohibits machine translation such as Google Translate for vital documents and points court staff to translators certified by the American Translators Association for that work.
USCIS and school paperwork
For immigration filings the governing text is 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). A foreign-language document must arrive with a complete English translation, and the translator must certify both its accuracy and his or her own competence in the two languages. Notarization is not part of that federal rule.
Schools set their own terms. The University of Vermont, just over the city line in Burlington, requires certified translations of non-English documents for undergraduate admission, and its Graduate College asks for a notarized English translation. Read the instructions from the program you are applying to and pass them on to us with your order.
Languages: we handle 100. Spanish, Russian, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic and Czech lead the requests. Check with us first if yours is a different one.
Apostille route from South Burlington
All Vermont apostilles are issued by the Secretary of State at the State Archives site, 1078 U.S. Route 2 in Middlesex. Most South Burlington requests can simply be mailed to the Montpelier mailing address, ZIP 05633-7701, with form VSARA-35, the document and a check or money order for $10 per document payable to the Vermont Secretary of State. Walk-in submission is possible Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Vital record copies must be certified by the legal record custodian, which for a South Burlington record can be the City Clerk. A translation needs a notarial act that complies with Vermont law. In that situation we hire a notary commissioned in Vermont to notarize the translator’s statement before the request goes to the Secretary of State.
