Could be a dumb question, but when I translate a birth certificate to English do I change the persons name to Soeren or leave as is?

Soren - or leave it as is.

Without the Danish keyboard available for to translate the "ø", leave it as "Soren". My last name was Jørgensen but was change by the authorities here in the US to "Jorgensen". Not "oe".
Peer comment(s):
neutral Birthe Omark : Our most famous 'Søren' Kierkegaard, is a Soren both in print and on web. :-) Hilsen Ømark alias Omark, undtagen i passet, hvor stavemåden Oemark bibehodes.

Soeren

I have often wondered about this myself, but what if the recipient can't take the Danish font? Then it should be Soeren I suppose.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Birthe Omark : See my note under Blagsted - my passport says Oemark, which is the official interpretation.
