This document provides a formal proof of Birkhoff's completeness theorem for multi-sorted algebras which states that any equational entailment valid in all models is also provable in the equational theory. More precisely, if a certain equation is valid in all models that validate a fixed set of equations, then this equation is derivable from that set using the proof rules for a congruence. The proof has been formalized in Agda version 2.6.2 with the Agda Standard Library version 1.7 and this document reproduces the commented Agda code.
