Certified Translation for USCIS

Corpus Localization provides certified translation services for USCIS purposes, with eligible standard document translation starting at $19.99 per page and 24-hour delivery. Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), USCIS requires that all foreign-language documents be accompanied by a certified English translation — our service fulfills this requirement with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy from an ATA Corporate Member (#M-189351).

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.
