Punjabi to English Translation - Birth Certificate

[gurilubana]

Hi,

My birth certificate is in Punjabi and will need to be translated to English for I-485 stage.
I know the translation is to be certified.

Can anybody translate it to English and certify it. I was thinking of asking a friend who is very fluent in both Punjabi and English to do it and then provide the certification.

Or will I need to get it done through a licensed translator.
Any recommendation for translation service (from Punjabi to English) in Bay area.

Thanks in advance

One of my friend used the service from the following site.

English translation certified for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS, formerly Immigration and Naturalization Service - INS)

No need to spend $$ to get a professional translation. Have a friend translate and certify it .
Ask him to get it notarized
