NYC Translation & Notary Service: When Do You Need Notarization or an Apostille?
In most U.S. immigration filings, USCIS requires a certified translation, not a notarized one. (The regulation specifies full English translation plus translator certification.)
However, some NYC agencies, courts, or overseas authorities may request a notarized translator affidavit or an apostille for use abroad. If you need a notarized affidavit for New York County (Manhattan), the translator’s statement is notarized first; if an apostille is needed, the document then follows NYS Department of State steps.
Tip: NYC’s business guidance reminds applicants that certified documents (including translations, notarizations, and apostilles) must meet State and Federal requirements to be valid.

FAQs
Do I need a notarized translation for USCIS in NYC?
Short answer: No—USCIS requires a certified translation with a translator’s signed statement, not notarization. Some NYC agencies or courts may ask for a notarized translator affidavit; we can add that if requested.
How fast can you translate a birth certificate?
Single-page certificates are often completed same day or within 24 hours. Complex layouts or poor scans may take longer.
Will my translation be accepted for apostille?
Yes—when an apostille is needed, we provide a notarized translator affidavit and county certification steps so the NYS Department of State can issue the apostille.
What exactly is included in “certified translation”?
A word-for-word translation plus a signed Certification of Accuracy & Competence from the translator, attached to the translation.
Can I translate my own birth certificate?
USCIS requires a translator’s certification of completeness, accuracy, and competence; self-translation is generally discouraged because the certifier should be an impartial, competent translator.
