Certified Translation Services

A certified translation is a translation paired with a signed statement from the translator confirming the document was translated accurately and completely. USCIS, U.S. courts, universities, and most government agencies require this before they will accept a foreign-language document. Every translation we deliver includes the signed Certificate of Accuracy at no additional cost.

Yes. Each translation includes the signed certification statement that USCIS requires under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). We've completed thousands of translations for immigration cases, including I-130, I-485, I-751, N-400, and K-1 visa petitions. Academic institutions, employers, and most government agencies accept them as well. Courts are the main exception: state and federal courts generally require a certified *and* notarized translation. If you're not sure whether your receiving institution also requires notarization or a physical copy, check with them before ordering.

Certified translations start at $23.75 per page, with each page covering up to 500 words. The exact rate depends on your language pair, and volume discounts apply automatically on larger orders. You can see the rate for your specific language on our pricing page. If a page exceeds 500 words or your order needs any adjustment, we'll let you know before we start.

One page is one side of a document containing up to 500 words. If a page has more than 500 words, the extra words count as an additional page. We will let you know before starting if your order needs any adjustment.

Yes. Some language pairs cost more than others, depending on translator availability, the writing system involved (Arabic and Chinese, for example, require specialized formatting for non-Latin scripts), and how complex the document is. You can check the exact per-page rate for your language pair on our pricing page.

For USCIS immigration filings, a certified translation is sufficient. No notarization needed. Notarized translations are typically required for state and federal courts, U.S. passport applications, banks, academic credential evaluations (WES, ECE, etc.), child support proceedings, DMV submissions, and documents being apostilled for international use. If you are not sure which level of certification you need, see our certification guide.

If you need a physical copy, we mail a printed certified translation with the signed certificate of accuracy and embossed seal. Physical copies are typically required for court filings, passport applications, banks, credential evaluations, and international use. Shipping options include standard mail, expedited, overnight, and international delivery.

Our team reviews all orders before starting. In the vast majority of cases, no adjustment is needed since most standard documents fall within our 500-word-per-page limit and qualify for the standard rate. If we do identify anything that may require an adjustment (for example, more than 500 words, complex handwriting, or unusual formatting), we'll contact you with a revised quote before any work begins. You can then choose to move forward or cancel the order for a full refund.
