Certified Translations for USCIS, Explained
Frequently Asked Questions
Is your certified translation accepted by USCIS?
Yes. Every translation includes a signed certification statement meeting the USCIS standard under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3).
Do I need a notarized translation instead?
Almost never for USCIS. Notarization is only required if a specific court, school, or agency asks for it.
What documents can you translate?
Birth certificates, marriage and divorce records, diplomas and transcripts, bank statements, contracts, and most personal and legal documents.
Will the translation include stamps, seals, and handwritten notes?
Yes. USCIS expects a complete translation of everything on the page, including seals, stamps, and marginalia.
How much does a certified translation cost?
Pricing is per page — see our current pricing. Volume discounts apply for larger cases and law firm caseloads.
How long does a certified translation take?
Standard delivery is 24-48 hours from when we receive your document and payment.
Do I need to send the original document, or is a photo okay?
A clear photo or scan is fine as long as every part of the document, including stamps and seals, is legible.
Is my document kept confidential?
Yes. Your documents are handled only by our translation team and are never shared with third parties.
Do you serve clients outside Florida and Texas?
Yes. We work with clients and law firms anywhere in the United States.

- Signed certification statement on every document (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)).
