Clear answers about USCIS translations.
Everything you need to know before submitting your foreign-language documents to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
What is a certified translation?
+
A certified translation is a complete English translation of a foreign-language document, accompanied by a signed statement from the translator attesting to its accuracy and completeness. USCIS, the U.S. State Department and most federal and state agencies require certified translations.
Does USCIS require notarization?
+
No. USCIS specifically requires certification, not notarization, under 8 CFR §103.2(b)(3). Our certified translations meet the USCIS standard exactly — no notarization needed.
Are your translations prepared in the format USCIS requires?
+
Yes. Every translation we produce includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy with the translator's competence statement, signature, date and contact information — exactly what USCIS requires under 8 CFR §103.2(b)(3). Final acceptance of any document is at the discretion of the adjudicating officer.
How long does a certified translation take?
+
Every certified translation is delivered within 24 hours — guaranteed. No rush fees, no surprises.
What languages do you support?
+
We currently translate a focused set of languages into U.S. English, including Portuguese, Spanish, French, Haitian Creole, Mandarin, Arabic, Russian, Ukrainian, Vietnamese and Korean. We're always growing — if you don't see your language, just ask, and we may already have a vetted translator joining the team who can help.
Can I upload scanned or phone-camera copies?
+
Yes. We accept clear scans, PDFs and phone-camera photos as long as every stamp, signature and word is legible. We will let you know if a re-scan is needed before starting your translation.
Do I receive a digital copy?
+
Yes. You receive a signed digital PDF of your certified translation — exactly what USCIS filings require.
What is included in the certification?
+
The Certificate of Translation Accuracy includes a competence statement, the translator's signature and printed name, the date, contact information and a description of the source document. This is the format USCIS expects.
Is my information confidential?
+
Absolutely. Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, accessible only to the assigned translator. We never share, resell or use your information for any purpose other than completing your translation.
Do you handle urgent immigration deadlines?
+
Yes. Because every translation is delivered within 24 hours — guaranteed — most filing deadlines are easily met.
