For a complete breakdown of certified translation pricing for USCIS filings, including per-document costs and when a file goes to quote review, see certified translation cost per page for immigration.
Certified translation for USCIS costs between $19.99 and $45 per page in 2026, with the national average at approximately $25 per page. The total cost depends on the number of pages, the service provider, and any add-on fees a provider charges. A single birth certificate typically costs $20–$50, while a full immigration document set of 5–10 documents can range from $100 to $450.
How Much Does Certified Translation Cost Per Page?
The standard unit of pricing for certified translation is per page, where one page equals up to 250 words. Here are the 2026 rates from the five largest online certified translation services:
| Provider | Price Per Page |
|---|---|
| Corpus Localization | $19.99 |
| RushTranslate | $24.95 |
| ImmiTranslate | $25–$45 |
| Tomedes | ~$20+ (per word) |
| The Spanish Group | $27.99 |
How Much Does It Cost to Translate a Birth Certificate?
A birth certificate translation costs $19.99 to $45 for a single page. Most birth certificates from Latin America, Asia, and Europe are 1–2 pages. At Corpus Localization, a standard 1-page birth certificate translation costs $19.99, includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, and is delivered within 24 hours of order confirmation on business days, or that document is free.
How Much Does It Cost to Translate a Marriage Certificate?
Marriage certificate translation costs $19.99 to $45 per page. Most marriage certificates are 1 page, making the total cost $20–$45. Corpus Localization charges $19.99 for a 1-page marriage certificate translation, including the certification statement required by USCIS.
How Much Does a Full Immigration Translation Package Cost?
A typical USCIS immigration document set requires translation of 3–10 documents. Here is what a common I-485 (Adjustment of Status) package costs at Corpus Localization’s $19.99/page for eligible standard certified document translation rate:
- Birth certificate (1 page): $19.99
- Marriage certificate (1 page): $19.99
- Passport bio page (1 page): $19.99
- Police certificate (2 pages): $39.98
- Academic transcript (3 pages): $59.97
Total for 8 pages: $159.92
The same package at RushTranslate would cost $199.60. At ImmiTranslate’s Professional tier, it would cost $200. At The Spanish Group, $223.92.
Does Notarization Cost Extra?
Corpus does not offer notarization, so there is no notarization fee. For USCIS purposes, 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) calls for a full English translation that the translator certifies as complete and accurate, with the translator’s certification of competence. That is certification, not notarization. Every Corpus translation includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. Delivery is digital; we do not mail physical copies.
Is Rush Delivery More Expensive?
Corpus does not sell rush delivery, so there is no rush fee. We do not offer a rush, same-day or expedited service at any price. Eligible standard documents are delivered within 24 hours of order confirmation on business days, or that document is free. Other files are delivered within one business day of order confirmation.
How to Save Money on Certified Translation
- Compare prices: Rates vary 20–56% between providers for the same service. See our full comparison.
- Follow recipient instructions: USCIS-purpose filings generally need certified translation rather than extra signature handling.
- Submit clear scans: Blurry or incomplete documents may require additional translator time and cost more.
- Bundle documents: Some providers (including Corpus) charge per page, not per document — so combining multiple short documents into one order can save money.
Why Do Certified Translation Prices Vary?
Price differences between providers come from overhead, marketing spend, and business model — not translation quality. All |certified translations prepared for USCIS submissions must meet the same standard under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3): a complete, accurate translation with a certification statement. A $19.99 translation and a $45 translation both produce the same legally valid document.
