Service · Certified translation for USCIS purposes
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.
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.
Certification is required whenever the receiving institution needs formal assurance that the English translation is complete and accurate. The most common situations for businesses:
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 for USCIS purposes; see our USCIS translation services page for details. USCIS decisions are made by the agency; no translation company can guarantee an immigration outcome.
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 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.
Every order includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. Certification is not the same as notarization: certification is a statement by the translator that the translation is complete and accurate, which is what 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) asks for, while notarization only verifies the identity of a signer. Corpus Localization is an ATA corporate member (#M-189351), and our work is 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. See the correction and refund remedy for the full terms.
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:
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.
Corporate documents are sensitive by definition — contracts contain commercial terms, HR files contain personal data, financial statements are rarely public. Your documents are used only to produce your translation, and they stay confidential from upload through delivery.
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. A contract, financial statement, business license, and other business files get a quote review. Full details are on our pricing page, or you can request a free quote.
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 include a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy and are prepared for USCIS purposes. USCIS decisions are made by the agency; no translation company can guarantee an immigration outcome.
For a USCIS filing, 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires a full English translation that the translator has certified as complete and accurate; it does not mention notarization. Other recipients set their own rules. 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.
