Service · Certified translation for USCIS purposes
Legal documents are not ordinary text. A misplaced word in a contract changes obligations. An inaccurate date in a court order changes outcomes. A poorly translated affidavit undermines credibility.
Legal translation requires translators who understand the source language, the target language, and the legal systems behind both. It requires precision, legal-document context, and a review of the legal-document context.
Corpus Localization provides certified legal translation services for law firms, courts, corporate legal departments, and individuals involved in legal proceedings. Every translation is handled by a translator with legal document experience, reviewed for accuracy, and delivered with a signed certificate of accuracy that legal workflows often request.
Eligible standard documents are $19.99 per page. A birth, marriage, divorce, academic, or police record of up to 4 pages is delivered within 24 hours of order confirmation on business days, or that document is free. Other files get a quote review.
Legal language is not conversational language. Every legal system has its own terminology, its own conventions, and its own way of expressing obligations, rights, and procedures. A direct word-for-word translation often produces something that’s linguistically correct but legally meaningless.
Terminology precision. Legal terms carry specific meanings that don’t always have direct equivalents. “Domicile” isn’t the same as “residence.” “Custody” means different things in family law vs. criminal law.
System awareness. A contract drafted under civil law (most of Latin America, Europe, Asia) doesn’t map cleanly onto common law concepts (U.S., UK).
Formatting requirements. Courts have expectations for how translated documents should look — from margin sizes to certification placement. We format every legal translation for court submission.
Confidentiality. Legal documents contain privileged and sensitive information. We treat every document with strict confidentiality. NDAs available upon request for firms with specific requirements.
Immigration Attorneys

What does the translation include?
Every translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy. 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires a translation that the translator has certified as complete and accurate; it does not mention notarization.
Do you sign NDAs for confidential documents?
Yes. We treat all documents with strict confidentiality as standard practice, and we’re happy to sign NDAs for firms with specific confidentiality requirements.
Can you translate documents from foreign legal systems?
Yes. We translate legal documents from civil law, common law, and religious law systems worldwide.
How do you handle legal terminology that has no English equivalent?
When a direct equivalent doesn’t exist, we translate the concept and include a translator’s note explaining the term’s meaning in its original legal system. This approach is standard in legal translation and expected by courts.
A divorce record is $19.99 per page. A birth, marriage, divorce, academic, or police record of up to 4 pages is delivered within 24 hours of order confirmation on business days, or that document is free. A power of attorney, court order, contract, affidavit, corporate filing, or patent gets a quote review.
