USCIS requires a full English translation of every foreign-language document, certified by the translator. We translate birth and marriage certificates, court and police records, diplomas and other documents, with the signed certification included.
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), any document containing a foreign language that you submit to USCIS must come with a full English translation. The translator must certify that the translation is complete and accurate, and that they are competent to translate from that language into English.
That means the whole document, including stamps, seals and handwritten notes, not a summary.
A complete English translation laid out to mirror the original, and a signed certification of accuracy and competence. PDF delivery, ready to include in your filing. Notarization is available if another agency asks for it; USCIS itself does not require it.
Tell us the language when you ask for a quote. Because the certification states the translator's competence, we confirm we can certify your language before you pay anything.
A page is about 250 words. Most birth and marriage certificates are one page. Standard turnaround is 48 hours; rush within 24 hours is 1.5x. Notarization is $19.95 if you need it. The minimum order is $35.00.
Yes. 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires a full English translation of any foreign-language document, with the translator's certification that it is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate it.
Not for USCIS. The translator's signed certification is what USCIS requires. Some other agencies and institutions do ask for notarization, and we can add it.
USCIS requires the certification to come from someone competent in both languages. Many attorneys advise against certifying your own documents because it can invite questions. Ask your attorney if you are unsure.
Standard turnaround is 48 hours. Rush within 24 hours is available at 1.5x.
Tell us what you have and when you need it. We confirm the price before any work starts, and reply the same business day.
