What is a certified translation?
A certified translation is a complete translation accompanied by a signed statement from the translator that the translation is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate the language. USCIS asks for this. [1][2]
Certified, notarized, sworn or standard: which do you need?
| Type | What it is | Typical use | With us |
|---|---|---|---|
| Certified | Full translation plus a signed statement of completeness, accuracy and translator competence | USCIS, the National Visa Center, credential evaluators such as WES | $24.99 per page |
| Notarized | A certified translation whose certificate is signed before a notary public | Only when the receiver asks, for example Florida vehicle title procedures [8] | +$19 per order; notarized translation |
| Sworn | A translation format required by some countries' authorities | Documents headed abroad; ask the receiver what it needs | Sworn translation |
| Standard | Translation without a certificate | Reading, research or internal use | Standard translation |
What USCIS requires from a translation
Any document containing a foreign language submitted to USCIS must come with a full English translation that the translator has certified as complete and accurate, and with the translator's certification that they are competent to translate into English. [1]
| The rule requires | In our translation |
|---|---|
| A full English translation, not a summary | Complete translation of all text on the document |
| Certification that it is complete and accurate | Signed certificate of accuracy with every order |
| Certification that the translator is competent | Stated in the same signed certificate |
What the rule does not say: it doesn't list notarization, an ATA certification or a particular company. Immigrant visa applicants follow a similar Department of State rule: documents not in English, or in the official language of the country where you apply, need certified translations that include the translator's signed statement of accuracy and competence. [1][3]

Frequently asked questions
Are your translations "USCIS approved"?
No company is USCIS approved: USCIS doesn't approve or certify translation providers. It sets the requirement, a full English translation with the translator's certification of accuracy and competence, and our certified translations meet it. [1]
Does USCIS require an ATA-certified translator?
No. The rule asks for a translator who certifies that they are competent and that the translation is complete and accurate. Our company is a member of the American Translators Association; membership is not the same as ATA certification of an individual translator. [1]
Does a USCIS translation need to be notarized?
How much does a certified translation cost?
$24.99 per page. Urgent delivery is +$14 per page, notarization +$19 per order and a mailed paper copy +$15. The order page shows the total before you pay. [9]
How quickly will I receive my translation?
Standard: within 48 hours for 1–3 pages and within 3 days for 4–10 pages. Urgent: within 24 hours for 1–3 pages and within 48 hours for 4–10 pages. [9]
What file formats can I upload?
PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, text files and photos (JPG, PNG, iPhone HEIC, TIFF and more), up to 100 MB each, as listed on the order page. Upload every page and side, including the back if anything is written there. [9]
What if a name or other detail needs correction?
Before we certify, we email you a draft to check names, dates and spellings. If a translation or certification error causes a rejection, our guarantee applies. [9]
Can I receive a printed certified translation?
Yes. Add a paper copy by USPS Priority Mail (+$15) at checkout. It is mailed to US addresses only.
Will my translation be accepted by the New York DMV for a road test?
No. For road tests the New York DMV asks for an International Driving Permit or a translation certified by a consulate, the U.S. Department of State or another government agency, so a translation company's certificate does not qualify. [7]
