USCIS Certified Translations in a Few Steps

Certified Translations
A certified translation for USCIS or immigration purposes is a translation that has been completed by a professional translator who certifies that he/she is competent in the source and target languages. When we translate a document for USCIS, we certify it according to the rules of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. Our translations can be used for visa applications. The translation of foreign-language documents is an important component of your application. Applicants who do not satisfy the requirement of immigration authorities for their translations might experience delays and/or rejections.

Other Things to Consider
Many individuals who are looking for USCIS certified translations often ask us whether they need to submit their original documents. In the past USCIS required original foreign language documents. More recently, they have changed the rules and accept copies.

You do not need to notarize the translations that you submit with your application. USCIS requires foreign-language documents to be accompanied by their certified translations. Notarization is not required.

We have no way of checking the mailing addresses of the recipient. Please make sure you are providing the correct mailing addresses and unit numbers (if applicable). If you are not sure what your lawyer’s address is, please double check with him/her before we mail the hard copy.
