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.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — every page with entries (marriage, divorce, children) must be translated. USCIS uses these to verify your full civil history.
