The Documents That Build Your Immigration Case

Immigration cases are built on documents. Birth certificates, marriage certificates, police records, financial statements, employment letters — USCIS requires English translations of every foreign-language document you submit. And every translation must be certified.

Here’s what makes immigration translation different from other translation work:

Completeness is non-negotiable. USCIS officers compare your translation against the original. Missing a stamp, annotation, or marginal note triggers a Request for Evidence (RFE) — adding months to your case.
Accuracy must be absolute. Names, dates, and places must match exactly across all documents. A single discrepancy between your birth certificate translation and your passport translation raises red flags.
Certification is required. Every translation must include a signed certificate of accuracy from the translator or translation company, per 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3).
Speed matters. Immigration deadlines don’t wait. RFE response windows, filing deadlines, and interview dates are fixed.

We translate immigration documents every day. It’s our core business.

USCIS Translation Requirements — What You Need to Know

USCIS has specific rules for translated documents. Here’s what the regulation says and what it means for you:

The rule (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)): Any document in a foreign language must be accompanied by a full English translation that the translator has certified as complete and accurate, along with the translator’s certification of competence.

What this means in practice:

Full translation — every word on the document, including headers, stamps, seals, handwritten notes, and annotations
Certificate of accuracy — a signed statement from the translator certifying the translation is complete and accurate
Translator competence — the translator must certify they are competent to translate from the source language to English

USCIS does not require:

A notarized translation (though some attorneys prefer it)
ATA certification of the individual translator
Translation by a specific company or agency

Our certified translations meet all USCIS requirements. We’ve completed thousands of immigration translations without a single rejection for translation quality.
