Certified translations for USCIS and immigration

Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), any foreign-language document submitted to USCIS must come with a full English translation and a certification from the translator that it is complete, accurate and that they are competent to translate. That is exactly what we deliver.

What USCIS expects from a translation

The translation must be complete, including stamps, seals, handwritten annotations and the back of the page if it carries information. Summaries or extracts are not accepted. The certification must state the translator's competence and the accuracy of the translation, and it is signed and dated.

Notarization is not required by USCIS. You can submit a copy of the original document together with the certified translation.

Applications we support

Family-based and employment-based green cards, adjustment of status, naturalization, K-1 fiancé visas, asylum applications, DACA renewals and consular processing through the National Visa Center.

Languages

Choose a language for details on the documents, naming conventions and country requirements involved.

Frequently asked questions

Can I translate my own documents for USCIS?

USCIS does not forbid it, but officers can question translations made by the applicant or a family member. An independent certified translation avoids that risk.

Will USCIS accept a scanned signature on the certification?

Yes. USCIS accepts copies of documents and certifications. We send a signed PDF, and paper copies by mail if you need them.

Prices depend on the document, the language pair, the destination country and your deadline, so every request gets its own written quote. Attach your documents if you have them; it makes the quote exact.
