USCIS translation requirements

What a certified translation for USCIS must contain

For a foreign-language document submitted to USCIS, the core requirement is a full English translation accompanied by the translator’s certification.

  • A complete translation of all readable foreign-language text
  • A statement that the translation is complete and accurate
  • A statement that the translator is competent to translate into English
  • The translator’s identifying details, signature and date
  • Clear treatment of seals, stamps, signatures and illegible content

USCIS does not issue a special “USCIS translator licence.” In everyday searches, “USCIS certified translation” means a translation accompanied by the certification required for USCIS filing—not a translator certified by USCIS.

What is a USCIS certified translation?
It is a complete English translation accompanied by a signed certification confirming that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate from the source language into English. USCIS itself does not certify private translators.
Does USCIS require every foreign-language document to be translated?
When a foreign-language document is submitted as evidence, USCIS instructions generally require a full certified English translation. Review the instructions for the exact form and any case-specific notice you received.
Does a USCIS translation need to be notarized?
The standard federal translation requirement focuses on the translator’s certification rather than notarization. Notarization should only be added when your form instructions, attorney or receiving authority specifically asks for it.
Can I translate my own documents for USCIS?
The regulation focuses on completeness, accuracy and translator competence rather than naming a specific professional credential. An independent professional translation is commonly chosen to reduce avoidable concerns about accuracy, neutrality and certification wording.
How much does a certified translation for USCIS cost?
Qualifying standard documents start from $24.45 per page. The final quote depends on language, density, legibility, handwritten content, formatting and urgency.
How fast can you deliver?
Turnaround depends on the document and language. Standard and urgent options are available, and the delivery time is confirmed with your fixed quote before work begins.
Do you provide USCIS certified translation services near me?
The service is fully online and available throughout the United States and internationally. Upload your document securely and receive the certified PDF by email, so a local office visit is not required.
How long is a USCIS certified translation valid?
The translation itself does not normally have a standard expiration date, but the underlying document or the evidence requested in your case may need to be current. Follow the relevant form instructions and any USCIS notice.
Can you translate a birth certificate for USCIS?
Yes. Birth certificates are among the most common documents. The translation should include all readable text, annotations, stamps and seals and be supplied with the translator’s certification. See the birth certificate translation example.
What happens if I spot an error?
Send the source document and the issue to the support team. Translator errors are corrected without an additional translation fee.
