Certified Document Translation

What Makes a Translation "Certified"?  

A certified translation isn't necessarily a better translation; it simply comes with a signed Certificate of Accuracy. This certificate serves as a formal statement confirming that the translation is complete and correct, and that the translator is proficient in both languages.  

This Certificate of Accuracy is essential for USCIS, courts, and universities. Any translation performed by a bilingual friend, family member, or online tool will be rejected, regardless of its accuracy, due to the lack of accountability provided by an official certifying party.  

Some recipients may require the certificate to be notarized or even demand the entire package to be apostilled for international use. I offer assistance with all three levels of certification, including apostille translation services.  

When Certified Translation Is Required  

- Immigration & USCIS — All foreign-language documents submitted for green card applications, visa petitions, naturalization filings, and adjustment of status require USCIS compliant translations.  

- Courts & Legal Proceedings — This includes foreign judgments, contracts, affidavits, and powers of attorney.  

- Academic Admissions — Required for foreign diplomas, transcripts, and course descriptions for U.S. universities and credential evaluators.  

- Vital Records — This covers birth, marriage, divorce, and death certificates for both domestic and foreign authorities.
