Service · Certified translation for USCIS purposes
When a government agency, school, or employer asks for a certified translation of a personal document, they are asking for two things: a complete, accurate translation, and a signed statement from someone competent to attest to that accuracy. Corpus Localization LLC provides both. Standard personal documents are $19.99/page for eligible standard certified document translation, and every order includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. Eligible standard documents are delivered within 24 hours of order confirmation on business days, or that document is free.
Most personal-document orders fall into a small set of record types. If yours is on this list, it almost certainly qualifies for flat-rate pricing:
These documents are requested by USCIS during immigration filings, by DMVs when you exchange a foreign license, by universities and credential evaluators reviewing foreign education, and by employers and landlords verifying identity or income. Whatever the destination, the format is the same: a faithful English rendering of the original, page for page, with the translator’s certification attached. The certification format does not change with the document type.
Certified translation pricing is usually either per-word or per-page. Per-word pricing punishes you for documents you did not write — a dense bank statement can cost three times what a birth certificate does. We price standard personal documents at a flat $19.99 per page for eligible standard certified document translation, so you know the total before you upload anything.
A page means one side of a standard document up to a normal density of text. Most certificates, licenses, and ID cards are one page each; a five-page bank statement is five pages. Upload your files through our secure encrypted portal, count your pages, and the math is done. Eligible standard documents are delivered as a ready-to-file PDF within 24 hours of order confirmation on business days, or that document is free.
If your document is unusually dense, partly illegible, or heavily handwritten, it may fall outside the standard flat rate — more on that below. The pricing page explains exactly what qualifies.
The certificate is what makes a translation “certified.” It is a statement, attached to the translation, in which the translator attests that the English translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate from the source language into English. This is the exact requirement USCIS sets out in 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), and it is what DMVs, schools, and courts are looking for when they say “certified translation.”
Every Corpus order includes this signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy at no additional charge. Translations ordered for immigration filings are prepared for USCIS purposes; you can read more about how that works on our USCIS translation services page.
People often use the two words interchangeably, but they are different things. Certification is the statement by the translator that the translation is complete and accurate. Notarization is a notary public verifying the identity of the person signing a document; it says nothing about translation quality. 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires that certification; it does not mention notarization. Other receiving offices set their own rules; follow the instructions of the recipient before ordering. Corpus does not notarize or apostille documents.
For most personal documents, you can skip the back-and-forth and start your order directly: upload clear scans or photos, select your language pair, and pay the flat rate. Eligible standard documents are delivered within 24 hours of order confirmation on business days, or that document is free.
A quote first is the better route when something about your document is non-standard. Ask for a quote if the scan is blurry or partially cut off, if the document contains significant handwriting (older civil registries, handwritten letters, physician notes), if pages are unusually dense with small text, or if you are not sure how to count the pages. In those cases, quote review confirms the price before any work begins — no surprises after the fact. Quote requests are free and answered within 1 hour, Monday through Friday, 9–6 ET.
Either way, your files travel through secure encrypted upload, and your translation is covered in writing: if we made an error, we correct it free for the life of the document; if a translation is rejected solely because of our error, we revise it free or refund the translation fee.
Our certified translations include a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy and are prepared for USCIS purposes. They are backed in writing: if we made an error, we correct it free for the life of the document, and if a translation is rejected solely because of our error, we revise it free or refund the translation fee. USCIS decisions are made by the agency; no translation company can guarantee an immigration outcome.
Eligible standard personal documents (certificates, IDs, licenses, diplomas, typical statements) are delivered within 24 hours of order confirmation on business days, or that document is free. The delivery is a certified PDF that includes the signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. Non-standard documents that go through the quote process receive a committed turnaround with the quote itself, and quote requests are reviewed Monday through Friday, 9–6 ET.
The certification is included with every order at no extra charge.
