What USCIS Requires for Translated Documents

USCIS requires that any foreign-language document submitted with an immigration application be accompanied by a complete English translation and a signed certificate of accuracy from the translator.

USCIS does not publish a special government-approved translator or vendor category for ordinary document translations. What matters is a complete English translation plus a signed certificate of accuracy, with the translated file accounting for names, dates, stamps, seals, handwritten notes, and back-side text when those details appear on the source document.

This is outlined in 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). The certificate must state that the translator is competent to translate from the source language to English, and that the translation is complete and accurate.

Every translation from Corpus Localization includes this certificate — at no extra charge. Every translation includes a signed certificate of accuracy for USCIS-purpose document submissions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every completed translation includes a signed certificate of accuracy for USCIS-purpose document submissions under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). USCIS decisions remain outside the translation provider’s control; if a recipient identifies a formatting issue, Corpus reviews the notice and corrects eligible formatting issues at no cost.

Certified translation for USCIS-purpose document submissions starts at $19.99 per page for standard clear documents. No rush fees and no hidden charges.

Standard delivery is 24 hours. Most single-page documents (birth certificates, marriage certificates) are completed same-day.

USCIS generally requires a complete English translation with translator certification, not notarization. If an attorney or another recipient asks for notarization separately, confirm that requirement before ordering.

Corpus translates from 65+ languages into English for USCIS-purpose document submissions, including Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Korean, Russian, Vietnamese, French, Portuguese, Hindi, Tagalog, and many more.

Can the certificate of accuracy be electronically signed?

Corpus can prepare a certified translation file with a signed certificate of accuracy in the delivered PDF. If your attorney, portal, or recipient has a specific signature-format instruction, send that instruction with the file before ordering so the team can route it for quote review instead of treating it as a standard page-count order.

Do stamps, seals, signatures, and back-page notes need to be included?

Yes. Stamps, seals, signatures, registry notes, margins, and back-page text should be translated or represented when they help identify the document or explain official markings. Upload the full document, including the back side, even if the main text is on the front. Request a quote when the scan is unclear, the seal is hard to read, or several records are combined into one file.
