Tagalog Vaccination Record Translation
Tagalog vaccination record translation for a US school, a daycare, a university health office or the civil surgeon doing your I-693 exam. Most Philippine immunization cards print vaccine names in English, but handwritten health center notes, Filipino disease names and older barangay cards need a certified translation before a school nurse will count the doses.

Written for Tagalog vaccination record records
Reading a Philippine immunization card
A Filipino child's shots are recorded on a card or booklet the parents keep, filled in by hand at the barangay health center or by a private pediatrician.
Which record you have
Children vaccinated at a public health center carry the card from the government program, now the National Immunization Program and formerly the Expanded Program on Immunization, often inside the DOH Mother and Child Book. Children seen privately carry a pediatrician's baby book with a sticker from each vial. Both are valid records. We translate the immunization page, the child's name and birth date, and the clinic stamp beside each dose.
Disease names in Filipino
Where a card or a parent's note is in Filipino, the disease names are the ones school nurses cannot match: tigdas for measles, tigdas-hangin for rubella, beke for mumps, bulutong-tubig for chickenpox, ubong-dalahit for whooping cough, polyo for polio. Tigdas and tigdas-hangin are two diseases, and a translation that merges them shows a child as missing rubella. We give each the English name and the vaccine it corresponds to.
Schedule differences a US nurse will spot
The public schedule gives BCG and hepatitis B at birth, then pentavalent vaccine, oral polio and PCV at six, ten and fourteen weeks, inactivated polio, and a measles-containing vaccine at nine months and again at twelve. Pentavalent covers diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B and Hib in one shot, so three pentavalent doses answer several US requirements at once. A measles dose given before the first birthday does not count toward the US MMR series, so the translation keeps every date exactly for the nurse to apply that rule.
Who is asking for your Tagalog vaccination record translation?
The translation is the same. What changes is whether the recipient wants anything added to it.
USCIS
USCIS asks for a complete English translation and a signed certification from the translator. No notarization is needed.
Schools, clinics and employers
Most ask for a certified translation they can read next to the original. Digital delivery as a PDF is usually enough; ask for a hard copy if they want one.
US passports and the Department of State
The Department of State wants the translation notarized. Add notarization at checkout and we handle the rest.
Before you upload
Three things that save a day of back and forth on a Tagalog vaccination record.
Photograph each page flat and in daylight
Vaccination cards are small and often handwritten. A flat, well-lit photo of every page, including the cover, lets the translator read each date and lot number.
Tell us whose record it is
Children's cards often carry a nickname or no surname. Give us the full name as it appears on the passport so the translation matches the rest of the file.
Leave vaccine names and lot numbers to us
Trade names, lot numbers and stamps are copied exactly as written, and the headings around them are translated, so a clinic or school can read the schedule without guessing.

Tagalog Vaccination Record FAQ
Most questions about pricing and turnaround can be answered faster by requesting a quote.
- Do I need to translate a card that is already in English?
- If every printed and handwritten entry is in English, usually not, and we will tell you so. Translate it when the dates, remarks or stamps are written in Filipino, when a dose is recorded by a Filipino disease name, or when the school or civil surgeon asks for a certified translation of any foreign record.
- Can the civil surgeon use a translated Philippine record for the I-693?
- Yes. The civil surgeon copies documented doses onto Form I-693 and gives only the vaccines you cannot document. A certified translation of the dated entries lets the doctor count them. Bring the original card with the translation, since the doctor checks the dates against it.
- My VaxCertPH COVID certificate is in English. Does it need translating?
- No. The DOH VaxCertPH certificate is issued in English with a QR code, and US schools and employers read it as it is. We translate a COVID record only if it is a local vaccination card with Filipino handwriting, which some city and municipal vaccination sites handed out in 2021.
- How much does a certified translation cost?
- Certified translation is $25 per page, with a page counted as up to 250 words. Notarization, a mailed physical copy and an apostille are optional and priced separately.
- How long does a certified translation take?
- Standard turnaround starts at 24 hours and depends on the length and language of your documents. If you have a deadline, include it in your quote request.
