FAQs
Do you provide USCIS-accepted certified translations?
Yes. Every certified translation includes a Certificate of Accuracy attesting completeness, accuracy, and translator competence, as required under 8 CFR §103.2(b)(3).
Can you handle Swiss or Austrian German documents?
Absolutely. We account for regional terms (e.g., Swiss civil registry wording, Austrian administrative terms) and add notes if needed for clarity.
Do I need notarisation for USCIS?
Not typically. USCIS requires a certified translation; notarisation is optional and only needed if a specific requesting party asks for it.
Which files do you accept, and how should I scan them?
Clear scans or photos (all corners visible, no glare). We accept PDF, JPG/PNG, DOCX. If seals/stamps appear on the back, include those too.
How fast is delivery?
Short civil records can be same-day; larger sets typically 24–72 hours. We confirm exact timelines at quote.
Can you also provide a German language interpreter?
Yes—schedule consecutive or simultaneous interpreters for calls, interviews, and appointments (remote or on-site).
