CERTIFIED TRANSLATION SERVICES
A certified document translation is a complete translation paired with a signed statement of accuracy and translator competence. Corpus Localization starts eligible clear standard documents at $19.99/page and usually delivers them within 24 hours after scope confirmation.
Each certified PDF includes the translated document and a signed Certificate of Accuracy. The certificate identifies the source and target languages, confirms that the translation is complete and accurate to the best of the certifier’s knowledge, states the certifier’s competence, and includes a signature and date.

A certified document translation is a complete translation accompanied by a signed statement that confirms accuracy and the certifier’s competence.
Certification refers to the signed statement, not a government license for a translation company. The receiving office decides whether a submission meets its rules.
For immigration filings, 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires a full English translation plus certification that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate from the foreign language into English. Read the USCIS translation services guide for filing details. If a court, school, DMV, employer, or licensing board gave separate instructions, send them with the file.
Certified translation at Corpus starts at $19.99/page for eligible clear standard documents. Request a quote when page count, readability, formatting, or recipient instructions need review.

Corpus Localization is a NY/NJ company that delivers certified PDFs nationwide, with a signed 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) certification. Eligible clear standard files start at $19.99/page, with 24-hour delivery where the file qualifies.
Corpus prices by physical page side, not a 250-word industry page. Dense or unclear files require quote review before payment.
Page count depends on the source document, not the final PDF page layout. A one-page birth certificate, marriage certificate, passport page, or diploma is usually counted as one page when it has normal civil-record text. Longer documents, dense records, contracts, handwritten statements, and multi-page evidence sets are counted by source-word volume or page count after review.
| Source document | Typical count | Base price |
|---|---|---|
| One-page birth certificate | 1 page | $19.99 |
| Two-page marriage certificate document set | 2 pages | $39.98 |
| Three-page bank statement | 3 pages | $59.97 |
| Five-page academic record document set | 5 pages | $99.95 |
If a scan is hard to read, handwritten, or unusually dense, upload it for a quote before ordering.
Each certified translation includes the English translation, signed certification statement, PDF delivery, readable formatting, and error correction if needed.
The translation is designed for official review, not graphic reproduction. Seals, stamps, tables, handwritten notes, and marginal text are translated or labeled clearly so the reviewer can understand the document.
Most standard certified translations are delivered within 24 hours after order confirmation, as long as the file is readable.
Birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce records, passports, diplomas, transcripts, and similar records are usually good fits for 24-hour delivery. Larger document sets, handwritten documents, poor scans, rare languages, and files requiring complex formatting may need more time. Corpus will flag timing before work begins if the document is not a standard 24-hour order.
If your deadline is tied to a USCIS filing, court date, school deadline, DMV appointment, or credential evaluation submission, include that deadline when you request a quote.
Certified translation is commonly requested for immigration, courts, universities, DMV filings, and credential evaluation.

Corpus Localization provides certified translation services online for customers in all 50 states.
Orders are placed online: upload a scan or photo, receive the confirmed price, and get the certified PDF by email — usually within 24 hours for standard documents. The signed certification statement follows the format used for USCIS filings, state courts, universities, DMV offices, and credential evaluators nationwide. Corpus is based in the New York/New Jersey metro area and serves local customers in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and Jersey City, with the same online service available anywhere in the United States.
Corpus provides certified English translation from any source language. Unlisted, rare, and complex language pairs go through quote review so availability, scope, price, and turnaround are confirmed before work begins.
The most requested language pairs are Spanish to English, Chinese to English, Portuguese to English, Russian to English, Haitian Creole to English, and Arabic to English. Every certified English translation includes the complete translation and the signed certification statement identifying the language pair.
Corpus prepares certified translations for official-use requirements, but each receiving agency makes its own acceptance decision.
Certified translations are commonly used for USCIS filings, state courts, universities, licensing boards, DMV offices, and credential evaluators. The safest approach is to check the receiving agency’s instructions before ordering, especially if the agency asks for notarization, original hard copies, evaluator-specific forms, or a particular submission format.
For USCIS, the key requirement is a complete English translation with a translator certification. For schools, credential evaluators, courts, and DMV offices, requirements vary by institution or state office. Corpus prepares the translation and certification statement but does not provide notarization, hard-copy mailing, or apostilles. It cannot promise a legal, immigration, academic, or licensing outcome.
Notarization is separate from certification. Corpus provides certified document translation, not notarization.
A certified translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy. If a receiving court, school, agency, attorney, or other recipient specifically requests a notarized signature, check its instructions and arrange that service separately.
Corpus does not provide notarization, hard-copy mailing, apostilles, or legal advice. Send recipient-specific translation instructions with your file for quote review before payment.
A Corpus Certificate of Accuracy records the language pair, accuracy statement, competence statement, certifier identity, signature, and date.
| Certificate field | What it tells the recipient |
|---|---|
| Source and target languages | Which language was translated into English |
| Completeness statement | The translation covers the submitted document |
| Accuracy statement | The translation is accurate to the best of the certifier’s knowledge |
| Competence statement | The certifier is competent in the stated language pair |
| Certifier name and company | Who issued the certification |
| Signature and date | When the certification was signed |
The certification statement travels with the translated document. It does not replace the source file, legalize the underlying record, provide an apostille, or guarantee an agency decision.
Online certified translation starts with an upload, then Corpus confirms price, translates the document, certifies it, and delivers a PDF.
Clear scans produce faster quotes and fewer questions. Upload the full document, including the back side if it has stamps, seals, notes, or official text.
Corpus combines transparent $19.99/page starting pricing with official-use formatting and careful acceptance language.
The main difference is price clarity. Corpus starts eligible clear standard certified translation at $19.99/page, while many large online providers list about $24.95-$25/page. The page-count method is explained before ordering, and a signed Certificate of Accuracy is included.
The second difference is scope discipline. Corpus prepares certified document translations for official use. It does not promise immigration approval, court acceptance, school admission, credential evaluation approval, or DMV acceptance. That restraint matters because buyers need a usable translation, not unsafe promises.

Corpus includes the complete English translation, a signed Certificate of Accuracy, readable official-use formatting, and digital PDF delivery.
The certifier must be competent to translate the stated language pair and must sign a statement confirming completeness and accuracy. Recipient-specific rules may add other requirements.
Notarization is separate from certification and is not a service Corpus provides. Check the recipient’s instructions; if a notarized signature is required, arrange that service separately.
Corpus counts the submitted source document, not the final PDF layout. Clear short civil records are usually straightforward; dense or unclear files require quote review.
Yes. Most orders can begin from a complete, readable scan or straight, well-lit photo. Include every side that contains text, stamps, seals, notes, or marks.
