Submitting documents to USCIS, a university, or a government agency abroad? Your translation needs a signed certification the receiving authority will accept. We provide that in 50+ countries.
A certified translation is one that comes with a signed statement from the translator (or the agency) confirming it is a true and complete representation of the original official document. That statement, together with the translator's name, qualifications, and contact details, is what makes the translation acceptable to USCIS and immigration authorities, universities, government agencies, and courts. Without it, the document will typically be rejected.
Our certifications are accepted across the US, EU, and 50+ countries. Every certified translation includes the translator's full credentials, signature, and date.
If your document needs to be sworn before a public notary or submitted to a court, that requires a higher level of legal attestation. In that case, take a look at our Sworn Translation Services.

A certified translation is a translation accompanied by a signed statement from the translator or agency confirming that it is a complete and accurate representation of the original document. The statement includes the translator's name, qualifications, contact details, and the date of certification. This signed statement is what makes the translation legally acceptable to USCIS, universities, government agencies, and courts.
Yes. USCIS requires that any document in a language other than English be accompanied by a full English translation along with a certification from a competent translator confirming that the translation is accurate and complete, and that the translator is competent in both languages. Our certified translations are formatted to meet these exact USCIS requirements.
Certified translation cost depends on the document type, word count, language pair, and turnaround time. Standard certified translations for common documents such as birth certificates, diplomas, and marriage certificates are typically quoted per page. Contact us for a free quote, which we return within one business day in most cases. Rush turnaround is available for time-sensitive immigration submissions.
A certified translation includes a signed statement from the translator or agency confirming accuracy, and is accepted by USCIS, universities, and most government agencies. A sworn translation goes a step further: the translator signs the certification before a public notary or official authority, creating a legally attested document accepted by courts, embassies, and legal proceedings that require a higher level of legal formality. If you are unsure which level your document needs, check the requirements of the receiving authority or contact us and we will advise.
Most standard certified translations are delivered within 2 to 3 business days. Single-page documents such as birth certificates or identity cards can often be completed within 24 hours. Rush same-day service is available for straightforward documents submitted before midday. Contact us with your deadline and we will confirm availability.
