What Is a Certified Translation for USCIS Purposes?

A certified translation for USCIS purposes is an English translation of a foreign-language document that includes a signed certification statement from the translator or translation company. The certification must state that the translator is competent in both languages and that the translation is true, accurate, and complete. This requirement is defined in 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) of the Code of Federal Regulations.

Why Choose Corpus Localization for USCIS Translation?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does USCIS accept your translations?
USCIS decides that, not us. Each Certificate of Translation Accuracy we sign states that the translation is true, accurate and complete and that it was completed by a qualified translator competent in both languages. 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) sets the translation rule, so check it and the current instructions for your form before you order. If USCIS raises an issue caused by an error on our part, we correct it free, for the life of the document.

Can I use Google Translate for USCIS?
No. USCIS does not accept machine translations. All translations must be completed by a qualified human translator with a signed certification statement.

Eligible standard certified document translation starts at $19.99 per page at Corpus Localization. A typical birth certificate is 1-2 pages ($19.99-$39.98). Marriage certificates are usually 1 page ($19.99).

How long does certified translation take?
