USCIS Translation Services — The Translation Step of Your Immigration Journey

Fast answer: how to choose a USCIS translation provider

USCIS does not approve or require a specific private translation company. For a foreign-language document, the buyer needs a complete English translation with translator certification that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate.

What happens after you upload documents?

Corpus reviews your upload, prepares the English translation, adds a certificate of accuracy, and delivers the completed PDF for USCIS-purpose use.

You can upload a clear scan or phone photo of the foreign-language document. If the file is easy to count and read, eligible certified translations can move through routine 24-hour delivery where appropriate. If the packet has several documents, unclear images, handwriting, or uncertain page counts, quote review keeps the order accurate before payment.

Every completed certified translation includes the translated text and a signed certification statement. The certificate states that the translation is complete and accurate to the best of the translator's ability.

Common USCIS filing packet examples

Many USCIS filings include more than one civil document. Corpus can translate the documents, but we do not choose which documents your case needs.

  • Family petitions may include birth certificates and marriage certificates.
  • Adjustment filings may include civil records, identity documents, or prior marriage documents.
  • Naturalization or other filings may include court, police, or school records when the applicant chooses to submit them.

If you already know what your filing packet includes, start an order. If you want us to review document count and readability first, request a quote.

Helpful next steps: review the USCIS translation checklist, compare USCIS translation cost, or see certified translation pricing. Common document pages include birth certificate translation, marriage certificate translation, and divorce decree translation.

Filing With USCIS? Here's Where Translation Fits In

If you are preparing a USCIS filing and any supporting documents are in a language other than English, USCIS requires certified English translations before it can review those documents.

If a translation is incomplete or unclear, USCIS or your preparer may ask for a corrected translation. A complete, readable certified translation helps keep this step from becoming a filing delay.

Here’s exactly what USCIS requires:

  1. A complete English translation of the original document — every word, stamp, seal, and annotation.
  2. A certificate of accuracy — a signed statement certifying the translation is complete and accurate.
