FAQs — San Francisco translation company (for featured snippets)
Do USCIS applications require certified translations?
Yes. USCIS requires a full, certified English translation with a signed statement from the translator attesting to competence and accuracy. Photocopies are acceptable unless originals are specifically requested.
Do I need a notarized translation for USCIS?
Usually no. USCIS needs a certified translation, not a notarized one. Some non-USCIS processes may ask for notarization; we can provide it on request.
How fast can you translate my birth or marriage certificate?
Most single-page civil records are returned within 24–48 hours, with same-day rush available for common languages.
Will my translation be accepted by USCIS?
We follow USCIS policy manual guidance on certified translations and include a signed Certificate of Accuracy. Acceptance ultimately rests with USCIS, but our process aligns with published requirements.
Which languages do you support in San Francisco?
Spanish, Chinese (Traditional & Simplified), Tagalog, Vietnamese, Russian, Arabic, French, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, German, Italian, Hindi, Farsi, and more.
