Certified translation help
Certified translation buyers should start an order when the page count is clear and request a quote when the document packet is complex. Corpus charges 8¢/word or $19.99/page (whichever is lower) for standard certified translation, with 24-hour delivery and optional notarization available for $25.
Use the order page if you have a simple document set, readable files, and a known number of pages. Use the quote form if you have several documents, an unclear scan, an immigration packet, or a request that needs manual review before pricing.
Start your certified translation order when you know how many pages need translation and your files are ready to upload.
This is the right path for common documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, transcripts, and other clear records. It also works well when each document is readable and the page count is easy to confirm.
Corpus standard certified translation is 8¢/word or $19.99/page (whichever is lower). If you need notarization, you can add it for $25. Notarization is separate from certification and is not always required for certified translations for USCIS purposes.
Request a quote when the page count, document type, or delivery need is not simple enough for immediate checkout.
The quote path is better for immigration packets, family document bundles, multi-file PDFs, low-quality scans, unusual formats, handwritten records, or any order where you want Corpus to review the files before payment. It is also the better path when you are not sure whether every page needs translation.
Quotes help prevent the wrong page count from being purchased. They also give Corpus a chance to confirm whether the files are readable enough to translate accurately.
If you do not know the page count, request a quote before paying.
Certified translation pricing depends on the source pages that need translation. A single PDF may contain one document, several documents, blank pages, instructions, or pages that do not need translation. A quote lets Corpus review the file and confirm the right scope.
For simple records, count each source page that contains text needing translation. For front-and-back documents, include both sides if both sides need translation. If the file includes multiple family documents or an immigration packet, use the quote form.
Use the quote form for immigration packets unless every document and page count is already clear.
Immigration packets often include birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce records, police certificates, affidavits, IDs, and supporting civil documents. Some pages may need certified translation, while other pages may already be in English or may not need translation.
Corpus can provide certified translations for USCIS purposes, but Corpus does not provide legal advice and does not guarantee any immigration result. The translation can include a certificate of translation accuracy. Immigration decisions remain with the agency or officer reviewing the case.
You can add notarization for $25 when it is needed, but certified translation and notarization are not the same thing.
A certified translation includes a signed statement of accuracy from the translation provider. Notarization verifies the signature process on the certification statement. Many certified translations for USCIS purposes need certification, not notarization, but some schools, courts, employers, or agencies may ask for notarization.
If you are unsure whether notarization is required, check the instructions from the requesting agency. Corpus can translate and certify the document, but cannot provide legal advice about what an agency will decide.
After you start an order, Corpus reviews your uploaded files, translates the content, and prepares the certified translation package.
After you request a quote, Corpus reviews the files and sends pricing or next-step guidance. The quote path is meant for orders that need a human look before payment, especially when page count or readability is unclear.
If you are ready and the page count is clear, start your order. If you want Corpus to review the documents first, request a quote.

Corpus provides certified translations for USCIS purposes. Corpus does not provide legal advice or promise immigration outcomes.
Notarization is not the same as certification. Some agencies request it, but many certified translations for USCIS purposes do not require notarization.
