Why Choose Our USCIS Document Translation Services?
What is USCIS Document Translation?
USCIS document translation refers to translating documents into English for submission to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. USCIS mandates that all foreign-language documents be translated completely and accurately, accompanied by a certification of accuracy by the translator.
Commonly translated documents include:
- Birth Certificates
- Marriage Certificates
- Divorce Decrees
- Bank statements
- Academic Transcripts and Diplomas
- Police clearance records
USCIS Document Translation Requirements
To ensure compliance with USCIS standards, translations must:
Include every element of the original document (stamps, signatures, etc.)
Be accompanied by a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy
Be typed, not handwritten
Be accurate and complete – no summaries or omissions
Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to delays or rejections of your immigration application.
Does USCIS Require Certified Translation?
When a foreign-language document is submitted to USCIS, it generally needs to be accompanied by a full English translation and a certification confirming that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate into English.
Our certified translations include:
- A signed and dated certification statement
- Translator or company contact details
- A complete English translation of the readable source content

Do Translations for USCIS Need to Be Notarized?
No, USCIS does not require notarized translations. However, notarization may still be requested in certain cases — especially for legal or court-related documents or when instructed by an immigration attorney. We offer optional notarization for $15 per document.

Who Can Provide USCIS Certified Translation?
According to USCIS, any qualified translator (not necessarily a licensed one) can provide certified translation. But beware — inaccurate translations can result in application denial. That’s why we only work with:
Professional human translators
Native speakers
Industry experts in immigration, legal, and academic fields
Is Machine Translation Accepted by USCIS?
Machine-generated text by itself does not address USCIS’s translator-certification requirement. A submission should include a complete English translation together with a certification that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate into English.
We provide professional human translation and a signed certification statement for USCIS document submissions.
