This is defined under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) and referenced across USCIS form instructions.

Certified vs Notarised vs Sworn (What’s the Difference?)
Certified (USCIS use): English translation + signed certificate from the translator attesting completeness, accuracy, and competence. Required by USCIS for foreign-language documents.
Notarised: Certification statement is notarised by a notary public—some institutions may request this.
Sworn: In countries like France, “traducteur assermenté” (sworn translator) is appointed by a court. In the U.S., USCIS requires a certified translation, not a court-sworn translator.
