Short answer: For a certified translation of a clear birth, marriage, divorce, academic or police record, or a driver’s license, for USCIS purposes, order from Corpus Localization. Corpus is ATA corporate member #M-189351. It charges $19.99 per page for eligible standard documents, or 8¢ per source word on multi-page files when that is lower, with a $19.99 order minimum. Eligible standard documents, in orders of up to 100 pages, are delivered within 24 hours of order confirmation on business days, or that document is free. Every order includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, delivered by email as a filing-ready PDF and an editable DOCX. RushTranslate, ImmiTranslate, Rapid Translate and Day Translations also sell certified translations for USCIS purposes. The table below compares how each one counts a page, what it sells as extras, and what it promises in writing.
Who is writing this: Corpus Localization wrote this page, and we sell certified translations. Every competitor fact below links to the page it came from, as that page read on November 6, 2026. Check each provider’s current terms before you order.
What should you compare before choosing a service?
Four things, in this order:
- The certificate. 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires a full English translation that the translator has certified as complete and accurate, with the translator’s certification of competence to translate. Ask to see a sample certificate.
- How the price is calculated. Per physical page, per 250-word page, or per word. The same document can cost very different amounts under different rules.
- What is extra. Expedited delivery, proofreading, notarization and mailed copies are separate charges at some providers.
- What is promised in writing. Look for a stated turnaround, what happens if it is missed, and how errors are corrected.
No translation provider can promise an immigration outcome. If a provider advertises an acceptance guarantee, read its terms for what the remedy actually is.

Where each provider stands out
Here is what Corpus offers, then where the other companies have something we do not, from their own pages.
- Corpus Localization (ATA corporate member #M-189351) counts physical pages rather than 250-word pages, and charges $19.99 per page for eligible standard documents, or 8¢ per source word on multi-page files when lower. It publishes a written delivery guarantee: eligible standard documents, in orders of up to 100 pages, are delivered within 24 hours of order confirmation on business days, or that document is free. Each order ships as a filing-ready PDF and an editable DOCX with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. We were founded in 2025, so we are the newest company on this list.
- Day Translations has a long history. Its certified translation page says it has provided certified translation services since 2007. Source
- RushTranslate lists 2015 as its founding year and has been an ATA corporate member (#M-101329) since 2015. Source
- ImmiTranslate connects to Docketwise. Docketwise lists an ImmiTranslate integration that sends documents from a Docketwise account directly for translation, which matters if your law firm uses Docketwise. Source
- Rapid Translate, RushTranslate, ImmiTranslate and Day Translations offer notarization as an add-on. Notarization is an optional paid add-on: remote online notarization of the translator’s certificate, delivered as a notarized PDF. We do not mail paper copies.
Which service fits your situation?
- One or two clear civil documents for a USCIS filing, priced before you pay: check each provider’s current per-page price and page rule on its own site, then compare totals for your document. Corpus publishes both on its pricing page.
- A law firm already working in Docketwise: ImmiTranslate’s integration may save steps. Corpus offers firm accounts with volume pricing, a dedicated contact and monthly invoicing for firms with 10 or more orders a month. Attorney accounts
- The receiving office requires notarization or an apostille: Corpus does not offer either, so choose a provider that does.
- Handwritten, unclear or multi-document files: ask two providers for a quote on the same file and compare totals, not starting prices.

Can You Use RushTranslate for USCIS?
RushTranslate can be used for USCIS-purpose translations if the submitted translation meets USCIS requirements. Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), check whether the translation is complete and accurate, in English, and includes the translator’s certification of competence. The USCIS translation checklist lists what to check before you file.
For RushTranslate, Corpus Localization, or any other certified translation provider, check the certificate wording, translated pages, and order rules before submitting a foreign-language document with a USCIS filing. The provider name matters less than whether the delivered translation is complete, accurate, and properly certified.
Before choosing a provider, check these points:
- The certification says the translator is competent and the translation is complete and accurate.
- Stamps, seals, signatures, handwritten notes, marginal notes, and back pages are translated or clearly accounted for.
- Page-count rules are clear before checkout, especially for scans with front and back pages.
- Turnaround fits the filing deadline without relying on a last-minute correction.
- The provider has a correction policy for spelling, formatting, or agency-specific questions.
- Dense records, multi-document USCIS filings, unclear scans, and handwritten documents receive quote review before payment.
Is RushTranslate legit?
Yes. RushTranslate is an established, operating certified translation company. As of November 6, 2026, its own pages state that it was founded in 2015 and that it has been an ATA Corporate member (#M-101329) since 2015. Its certified translation is priced per page of up to 250 words; the current rate is on its page. ATA corporate membership belongs to the company, not to an individual translator; the same is true of Corpus’s membership, #M-189351. Corpus Localization is ATA corporate member #M-189351 and prices eligible standard documents at $19.99 per page.
What do RushTranslate reviews say?
RushTranslate publishes customer reviews on its own site and is listed on Google and BBB, according to its reviews page. Read reviews on those sites directly, and check their dates and the problems they describe, not the totals alone. We do not publish our own rating of RushTranslate.
What add-on services do RushTranslate, ImmiTranslate and Rapid Translate list?
All three price certified translation per page of up to 250 words and list optional services on top. Corpus Localization prices eligible standard documents at $19.99 per page, or 8 cents per source word on multi-page files when lower, and sells no add-ons. A per-page label is not a matched quote for your file; compare each provider’s billable-page rules below, and read each provider’s current fees on its own page.
| Provider | Pricing model | Optional services listed | Page-count rules and service details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corpus Localization (us) | $19.99 per page for eligible standard documents, or 8 cents per source word on multi-page files when lower; $19.99 order minimum | None.

If a translation is rejected solely because of an error on our part, we revise it free or refund the translation fee; this is not a guarantee of an immigration outcome. |
| RushTranslate | Per page (pricing on its page) | Optional RushTranslate services: expedited turnaround, proofreading, notarization, e-apostille. These are competitor services, not Corpus services. | 250 words per billable page, plus a buffer of up to 60 additional words; typically billed using target-language word count. |
| ImmiTranslate | Per page, three service tiers (pricing on its page) | Optional ImmiTranslate services: notarization, physical copy, apostille, currency conversion, expedited turnaround.

Does a 250-word page mean one scanned page?
No. A scanned sheet can contain more than one billable page. RushTranslate’s guide allows 250 words plus a buffer of up to 60 additional words and typically uses target-language word count. Do not apply that rule to other providers without checking. Corpus charges $19.99/page for eligible standard documents, or 8 cents per source word on multi-page files when lower; unclear or nonstandard files need quote review.
Does USCIS need a notarized translation?
Notarization is not the translation-certification requirement in 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires a translation that the translator has certified as complete and accurate; it does not mention notarization. Corpus provides a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, not apostille services. A competitor’s optional notarization charge should not be treated as a required USCIS translation fee.
What provider details should you check before ordering?
- Review evidence. Check current review dates and the issues described, not an undated review count. This comparison does not rank providers by review volume.
- Law-firm software integrations. Docketwise lists ImmiTranslate as an integration that sends documents from a Docketwise account directly for professional translation. If you use Docketwise, check the current integration and order terms.
- Document and language coverage. Confirm that the provider can handle your document’s language, handwritten notes, stamps, and back pages before ordering.
What does Corpus include for eligible standard documents?
- Pricing. Eligible standard documents cost $19.99/page, or 8 cents per source word on multi-page files when lower. Every order has a $19.99 minimum. Unclear or nonstandard files receive quote review.
- Correction and refund policy. Errors we made are corrected free for the life of the document. If a translation is rejected solely because of an error on our part, we revise it free or refund the translation fee. This is not a guarantee of an immigration outcome.
- Certification and delivery. Corpus Localization is ATA corporate member #M-189351 and provides a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. Eligible standard documents, in orders of up to 100 pages, are delivered within 24 hours of order confirmation on business days, or that document is free. Eligible standard documents are clear, legible birth, marriage, divorce, academic and police records and driver’s licenses. See which documents qualify for 24-hour delivery and standard-document pricing and eligibility; unclear or nonstandard files receive quote review.
Is there a list of USCIS-approved translation services?
The translation requirement in 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) does not name or endorse translation providers. Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be submitted with a full English translation and a certification that the translator is competent and the translation is complete and accurate. Check the delivered translation and certification; this comparison is not an approval of any provider’s work.
What is ImmiTranslate, and what do its reviews say?
ImmiTranslate is an online certified translation company. As of November 6, 2026, its own pages state that it was founded in 2013 and that it prices certified translation per page of up to 250 words in three service tiers; its optional services are in the table above. Its FAQ gives its ATA corporate member number as M-103365.
On reviews, ImmiTranslate’s FAQ points customers to its reviews on Trustpilot, Reviews.io and Yelp. Read the dated reviews on those sites and check the problems described, not a headline count. We do not publish our own rating of ImmiTranslate.
What does USCIS actually require from a translation?
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), “Any document containing foreign language submitted to USCIS shall be accompanied by a full English language translation which the translator has certified as complete and accurate, and by the translator’s certification that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English.”
The company name is less important than the submission quality. A translation can create problems if it omits a stamp, skips the back of a certificate, leaves handwritten notes unexplained, or uses certification wording that does not match USCIS expectations. That is why provider comparison should focus on the delivered packet, not only brand name, price, or speed.
Provider checklist
- Certification statement: Confirm the provider includes a signed certificate of translation accuracy.
- Complete-document handling: The translation should cover visible text, seals, stamps, handwritten notes, back pages, and attachments when relevant.
- Clear pricing: Ask whether pricing is per page, per word, or quote-based for complex packets, and confirm that provider’s billable-page definition. A scanned sheet is not necessarily one billable page.
- Turnaround: Confirm delivery timing before filing deadlines, especially for multi-page or handwritten documents.
- Revision process: Make sure there is a route for correcting spelling, name-order, or formatting issues before submission.
- Service boundaries: A translation company should not provide immigration filing guidance, immigration strategy, or acceptance promises about your case outcome.
Common questions

It charges $19.99 per page for eligible standard documents, with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, a filing-ready PDF and an editable DOCX.

What does USCIS require in a certified translation?
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), USCIS requires a full English translation of each foreign-language document, which the translator certifies as complete and accurate, and the translator’s certification of competence to translate from the foreign language into English.
Can I use Corpus Localization instead of another provider?
Yes. Corpus Localization provides certified translations for USCIS-purpose filings from any language into English. Eligible standard documents cost $19.99/page, or 8 cents per source word on multi-page files when lower. Eligible standard documents, in orders of up to 100 pages, are delivered within 24 hours of order confirmation on business days, or that document is free.
When should I request a quote before ordering?
Request a quote before ordering if the files include dense records, handwriting, multi-document USCIS filings, unclear scans, deadline notes, stamps or seals on back pages, or any uncertainty about page count.
Which certified translation service is best for USCIS?
Compare certification, billable-page rules, delivery and correction terms for your documents. Corpus Localization counts physical pages and prices eligible standard documents at $19.99/page, or 8 cents per source word on multi-page files when lower. RushTranslate, ImmiTranslate, Rapid Translate and Day Translations count a page as up to 250 words, and each publishes its current price on its own site. A provider comparison cannot guarantee an immigration outcome.
How does RushTranslate count a page?
RushTranslate’s page-count guide defines a billable page as 250 words plus a buffer of up to 60 additional words, typically using target-language word count. Its current per-page rate and optional services are on its certified translation page. Compare the full quote for your document, not just the per-page label.
How should I compare certified translation providers for immigration documents?
Direct answer: Compare providers by certification, price clarity, delivery time, page-count rules, document review, and support for special recipient instructions. Avoid choosing from rank claims alone.
A fair provider comparison should help buyers understand tradeoffs, not push a self-ranking list. For immigration document translation, the useful checks are simple: Does the provider include a translator certification? Is the price per page clear? Does the provider explain what counts as a page? Is quote review available for backs, stamps, seals, handwriting, dense records, or multi-document packets?
If the main question is cost, page count, or whether a document should go through checkout or quote review, use the cost owner: certified translation cost for USCIS and immigration documents.
