Business Document Translation

Corpus Localization · ATA corporate member #M-189351 · Updated September 2026

When a business needs a foreign-language document accepted by a U.S. authority — an employee’s birth certificate for a visa petition, a foreign contract for litigation, articles of incorporation for a bank — a plain translation is rarely enough. Courts, banks, and government agencies typically require a certified translation: a complete, word-for-word rendering accompanied by a signed statement of accuracy. Corpus Localization LLC, a New Jersey-based translation company serving businesses nationwide, provides certified translation of business documents in 65+ languages — every order reviewed and signed off by a qualified human — with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy included.

Business Documents We Translate

Our professional translators handle the full range of corporate records — from a single business license to a multi-hundred-page due-diligence file. Every translation is reviewed and signed off by a qualified human before delivery — the certification on your document is a person’s signed attestation, not an automated stamp.

If your document type is not listed, send it over — the list above covers the most common requests, not the limit of what we translate.

When Does a Business Document Need a Certified Translation?

Certification is required whenever the receiving institution needs formal assurance that the English translation is complete and accurate. The most common situations for businesses:

Employee immigration cases

When a company sponsors an employee for a work visa or green card, USCIS requires that every foreign-language document be accompanied by a full English translation and a translator’s certification of accuracy and competence, under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). This applies to the employee’s personal records — birth and marriage certificates, diplomas, transcripts — and to company documents submitted as petition evidence. Our translations are prepared to meet USCIS requirements under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3); see our USCIS translation services page for details. USCIS decisions are made by the agency; no translation company can guarantee an immigration outcome.

Courts and legal proceedings

U.S. courts generally require certified translations of foreign-language exhibits, contracts, and correspondence entered into evidence. A certified translation with a signed accuracy statement lets opposing counsel and the court rely on the English text.

Banks, lenders, and agencies

Banks reviewing foreign financial statements, state licensing boards evaluating foreign credentials, and federal or state agencies processing applications routinely ask for certified translations of supporting records. Requirements vary by institution — when in doubt, ask the receiving office what they need, and we will match it.

What Our Certification Includes

Every order includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy stating that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate from the source language into English. Certification is not the same as notarization: certification is the translator’s signed accuracy statement, which is what USCIS and most U.S. institutions ask for, while notarization only verifies the identity of a signer. Corpus Localization is an ATA corporate member (#M-189351), and our work is backed by a written acceptance guarantee — if a receiving institution raises an issue with the certification format, we fix it free. See the acceptance guarantee for the full terms.

Volume Orders and Multi-Document Projects

Business translation is rarely one document. A single employee visa case can involve a dozen personal and corporate records; a litigation or due-diligence project can involve hundreds of pages across several languages. Our workflow is built for that:

Working With Us Online

Most business clients find us the same way their own customers will find them: by searching. If you are weighing how your company looks to search engines and to the AI assistants people increasingly ask before they buy, Corpus also runs Corpus Plan, a free website audit that checks whether search engines and AI assistants can read and cite your site. It is free, needs no account, and is unrelated to a translation order — we mention it because the same businesses tend to need both.

Confidentiality

Corporate documents are sensitive by definition — contracts contain commercial terms, HR files contain personal data, financial statements are rarely public. All files are transferred through secure, encrypted upload, and access is limited to the translators and staff working on your order. Your documents are used only to produce your translation, and they stay confidential from upload through delivery.

Pricing and Turnaround

Certified translation starts at $19.99 per page for eligible standard certified document translation, with delivery in 24 hours on standard documents. Larger or more complex documents — dense contracts, financial statements, technical filings — are quoted individually after review. Full details are on our pricing page, or you can request a free quote and have an answer within an hour during business hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does USCIS accept certified translations for employee visa petitions?

USCIS requires that any foreign-language document be submitted with a full English translation and a certification from the translator attesting to accuracy and competence, under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Our certified translations are prepared to meet that requirement, and every order includes the signed certification. USCIS decisions are made by the agency; no translation company can guarantee an immigration outcome.

Do business translations need to be notarized?

Usually not. USCIS and most U.S. courts, banks, and agencies ask for a certified translation — the translator’s signed statement of accuracy — not a notarized one. Notarization only confirms the identity of the person signing; it says nothing about translation quality. If a specific institution has told you it requires notarization, confirm that requirement with them first, since certification is the standard.

Can you handle a large batch of documents in multiple languages?

Yes. We translate in 65+ languages and regularly handle multi-document projects — full employee visa files, litigation records, due-diligence sets. Upload the complete batch for a free itemized quote; large projects are assigned a dedicated account manager, and completed documents can be delivered on a rolling basis.

How fast can we get certified translations?

Standard documents are delivered within 24 hours, and quotes are answered within 1 hour Monday–Friday, 9–6 ET. Larger projects receive a delivery schedule with the quote, and time-sensitive documents within a batch can be prioritized. Every delivery includes the signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, ready to file with the rest of your submission.
