Notarized Translation Services

A certified translation includes a signed certificate of accuracy from the translator or translation company, confirming the translation is complete and faithful to the original. This is the standard required by USCIS, courts, universities, and most government agencies in the United States. Every translation from Florida Translate includes this certification at no extra charge.

Every certified translation includes the signed certification statement that USCIS requires, including a declaration from the translator attesting to their competence and the accuracy of the translation, per 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3).

Yes. Our certified translations are accepted by academic institutions, employers, and most government agencies. State and federal courts generally require a certified & notarized translation. Because requirements can vary by institution, we recommend confirming whether the receiving organization also requires notarization or a physical copy.

Certified translations start at $25 per page (up to 500 words per page). Volume discounts apply automatically: 5% off most orders, 10% off 30+ pages, 20% off 50+ pages. Pages exceeding 500 words incur an additional $17.50 for each 250 additional words. If you order requires an adjustment, we will notify you before proceeding. Some languages carry a surcharge due to translator availability, language complexity, and other factors; you can view the exact per-page cost for your language pair on our pricing page.
