What USCIS requires for a foreign-language document
- Full English translation
Every word, stamp, seal, and marginal note on the foreign document must be rendered into English — not summarized.
- Signed Certificate of Accuracy
The translator certifies, in writing, that the translation is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate from the source language to English.
- Original visible alongside translation
USCIS expects the certified English translation to be submitted together with a legible copy of the original foreign-language document.
- Independent translator
The translator cannot be the applicant or beneficiary. Self-translations are routinely rejected, even when accurate.
Common pitfalls with Persian (Farsi) documents
Solar Hijri date conversion
Iranian dates use the Solar Hijri calendar. The translation must include both the original date and the Gregorian equivalent in brackets.
Shenasnameh updates
Iranian shenasnameh booklets are updated over time with marriage, divorce, and child entries. Every page with entries must be translated.
