How Much Does USCIS-accepted certified Translation Cost in 2026?

If you’re filing an immigration petition, adjustment of status, or naturalization application, you’ll need certified translations of any document not in English. Here’s what you’ll actually pay and how to avoid overpaying.

Certified Translation Rates: What the Market Charges

Most translation services charge between $20 and $50 per page for certified translation for USCIS. Here’s how the major providers compare:

| Provider | Price Per Page | Turnaround | Rush Fee |
|———-|—————|————|———-|
| Corpus Localization | $19.99 | 24 hours | None |
| RushTranslate | $24.95 | 24 hours | +$14.95/page |
| ImmiTranslate | $25.00 | “Few hours” | Not disclosed |

The industry average sits around $30/page. At $19.99, Corpus Localization is 20-40% below most competitors — with the same 24-hour delivery and USCIS acceptance.

What “Certified Translation” Actually Means for USCIS

USCIS requires a complete word-for-word translation plus a signed certification statement from the translator. The certification must state:

1. The translator is competent in both languages

2. The translation is complete and accurate

3. The translator’s name, signature, and date

Common misconception: You do NOT need a notarized translation for USCIS. You do NOT need an ATA-certified translator (though it adds credibility). The translator just needs to be competent and sign the certification.
