Rush translation works best when the source file is clear, readable, and has an obvious page count. If the document has stamps, seals, handwritten notes, tables, multiple attachments, or receiving-agency instructions, quote review is safer than forcing it through checkout.

USCIS does not require RushTranslate, Corpus, or any other specific translation company. USCIS requires a complete English translation and a signed certification statement from a competent translator. If your document needs certified translation for immigration, school, employment, court, or personal records, the main questions are price, turnaround, accuracy, and whether the certification statement follows the receiving agency's instructions.
Corpus uses a per-page price for certified translations because immigration and civil documents are usually short, structured records. Birth certificates, marriage certificates, police certificates, passports, diplomas, divorce decrees, and academic records often fit better into per-page pricing than per-word pricing. Per-page pricing also gives the customer a firm number before ordering.

| 2 pages | $39.98 | $49.90 | $9.92 |
| 3 pages | $59.97 | $74.85 | $14.88 |

Source note: RushTranslate pricing is based on public homepage copy reviewed May 12, 2026, listing certified translation at $24.95 per page. Corpus pricing is the current public Corpus rate of 8¢ per word or $19.99 per page — whichever is lower. Final price can change if a client requests optional services such as notarization, mailing, unusual formatting, or nonstandard rush handling. Optional notarization at Corpus is $25 when requested.
Start your order if you already know the page count. Use certified translation pricing if you want to compare total order examples first.
A certified translation includes the translated document and a certification page stating that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator or company representative is competent to translate. That certificate is what makes the translation usable for many immigration, academic, legal, employment, and government document submissions.
The rate applies to common documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce records, police certificates, diplomas, transcripts, bank statements, passports, and civil records. Longer, handwritten, damaged, or highly technical documents may need manual review before final pricing.
This distinction matters because many searchers type phrases like “RushTranslate USCIS” after seeing a competitor ad or review. USCIS does not approve a private vendor list for ordinary document translation. The requirement is about the translation itself: it must be complete, accurate, and certified by someone competent to translate from the source language into English.
For USCIS filings, choose a translation provider that understands immigration document format, includes the correct certification statement, and translates every visible element of the document. A low price is useful only if the translation is complete. A fast turnaround is useful only if the certification follows the receiving agency's instructions.
Corpus prepares certified translations for USCIS purposes at 8¢/word or $19.99/page (whichever is lower) with 24-hour delivery for most standard civil documents after payment confirmation. See USCIS translation services for the immigration-specific order path.
A larger competitor can make sense when a customer needs an enterprise workflow, large multilingual project management, or a service Corpus does not offer. Corpus is usually the better fit for individuals, families, students, applicants, and small businesses that need a standard certified document translated quickly without paying more per page than necessary.
| Situation | Better fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| One to five immigration documents | Corpus | 8¢/word or $19.99/page (whichever is lower), 24-hour certified delivery for most standard documents after payment confirmation |
| Birth, marriage, divorce, police, or passport records | Corpus | Standard civil documents fit per-page pricing well |
| USCIS filing support documents | Corpus | Certification statement included; order path built around immigration documents |
| Large enterprise translation program | Larger competitor | Enterprise portals and account structures may be required |
| Highly complex multilingual business project | Quote-based review | Needs scope review before price is reliable |
| Client wants a familiar national brand | Larger competitor | Brand recognition may matter more than price |
The point is not that every customer should choose the lowest base rate. The point is that a standard certified document should not be hard to price. If the document is a birth certificate, marriage certificate, police certificate, transcript, diploma, passport, or short civil record, the customer should know the rate before uploading.
That difference is small on one page and more noticeable on packets. Many immigration and school orders include more than one document. A marriage-based green card packet may include a birth certificate, marriage certificate, divorce decree, police certificate, or other civil records. A student credential packet may include a diploma and transcript. A family application may include documents for several people.
| Example order | Page count | Corpus total at 8¢/word or $19.99/page (whichever is lower) | RushTranslate listed total at $24.95/page |
|---|---|---|---|
| One birth certificate | 1 | $19.99 | $24.95 |
| Birth certificate + marriage certificate | 2 | $39.98 | $49.90 |
| Diploma + two-page transcript | 3 | $59.97 | $74.85 |
| Five-page immigration packet | 5 | $99.95 | $124.75 |
For customers who need several documents, the saved amount can cover part of optional notarization, another translated page, or simply reduce the filing cost. Immigration and school paperwork is already expensive. Certified translation should be predictable.
The fastest documents to translate are structured records with clear labels and readable text. These include birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce certificates, police certificates, diplomas, transcripts, passports, driver's licenses, identity cards, and bank statements. Most of these documents have short fields rather than long prose.
Documents that may need extra review include handwritten letters, old registry books, low-quality scans, multi-page court decisions, medical records, contracts, and business documents with dense text. Corpus can still handle many of these, but the order may need a quote instead of instant per-page pricing.
If the document is for USCIS, NVC, a university, an employer, or a court, upload a complete scan. Include the front and back if the back has stamps, seals, signatures, or instructions. Partial scans can delay the translation because the translator has to confirm whether anything was omitted.
Relevant order pages: birth certificate translation, marriage certificate translation, police certificate translation, and academic translation services.
Many buyers use “rush translation” to mean “I need this by tomorrow.” Corpus built the standard certified document workflow around that need. For most short civil documents, 24-hour delivery is the normal service promise, not an expensive upgrade.
Same-day, overnight, or special deadline requests may still need confirmation. A document uploaded late at night, a poor-quality scan, a rare language, or a long multi-page record can change the timeline. Upload the document early, include every page, and state the deadline in the order notes.
If a filing deadline is close, do not wait for a quote-only process unless the document is unusual. Use start your order for standard certified documents or get a quote if you need the team to review a larger packet.
For immigration and official document use, the translation should cover all visible and legible parts of the source document. That includes names, dates, places, stamps, seals, handwritten notes, marginal notes, registration numbers, footers, headers, and backside text when present. If text is not readable, the translation should mark it as illegible rather than ignore it.
This is the part buyers should check before ordering from any provider. A cheap translation without a proper certification can create more work later. A fast translation that skips stamps or notes can also create filing risk.
USCIS generally asks for a certified English translation, not a notarized translation. Some courts, schools, employers, state agencies, attorneys, or foreign offices may ask for notarization separately. If the instruction says “notarized translation,” order notarization. If it only says “certified translation,” notarization may not be necessary.
Corpus can prepare certified translations for standard document use and can handle optional notarization when requested for $25. Customers should follow the exact instruction from the receiving agency or attorney. If the instruction is unclear, send it with the quote request so the team can match the translation package to the requirement.
