What Documents Need Certified Translation for USCIS

Every foreign-language document submitted as part of a US immigration petition must be accompanied by a complete, certified English translation. Below are the most common document types we translate for USCIS submissions.

Academic Transcripts and Diplomas

Foreign academic transcripts and degree certificates are among the most frequently requested documents in employment-based immigration petitions. USCIS adjudicators need to verify your educational qualifications against US standards, and every course, grade, and credential listed on your transcript must appear accurately in the translated version.

Birth Certificates and Family Records

Birth certificates are required for family-based petitions, adjustment of status applications, and dependent visa filings. USCIS requires a complete translation including all fields, official stamps, seals, and signatures — not just the main text. Partial translations are rejected.

Marriage and Divorce Certificates

Marriage certificates are required for spousal visa petitions including CR-1, IR-1, and K-1 applications. Divorce decrees are required when either party has been previously married. Both documents must be translated in their entirety including all endorsements and official markings.

Employment Records and Experience Letters

Employment verification letters, appointment letters, and salary certificates issued by foreign employers must be translated when submitted as supporting evidence in H-1B, L-1, and employment-based green card petitions. The translation must reflect the official letterhead and any stamps or signatures on the original.

Police Clearance Certificates

Police clearance certificates from your home country or any country where you have lived are required for certain immigrant visa applications and adjustment of status filings. These documents often contain official seals and legal language that must be translated precisely.

Court Documents and Legal Records

Court orders, affidavits, criminal records, and legal judgments submitted in immigration cases require certified translation. Legal documents contain specific terminology that must be translated accurately — errors in legal translation can create complications in your petition review.

Medical Records and Reports

Medical examination records, vaccination histories, and hospital reports may be required for certain visa categories and adjustment of status applications. Medical translations must accurately reflect diagnoses, medications, and physician details.

Financial Documents and Bank Statements

Bank statements, income tax returns, and financial records issued in a foreign language must be translated when submitted as proof of financial support in family-based or investment visa cases. Every figure, account detail, and official stamp must appear in the translation.

Passport and National ID Documents

Foreign passport pages, national identity cards, and other government-issued identity documents may need certified translation when the script or language is not English. This is common for documents in Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Cyrillic, and other non-Latin scripts.

Business Registration and Corporate Documents

Business registration certificates, articles of incorporation, and corporate documents are required for L-1, E-1, E-2, and certain EB visa petitions. These documents often contain official government seals and legal language that must be rendered precisely in translation.

USCIS Requirements for Certified Translation

USCIS has specific requirements for certified translations. A translation that does not meet these requirements will be rejected, which can delay your petition or trigger an RFE. Here is exactly what USCIS requires.

What Makes a Translation USCIS-Certified

A USCIS-certified translation requires the translator to certify competence and accuracy. Every delivery includes all four required elements for adjudicators.

Translator Competency Statement

Must confirm competence in both languages and exact accuracy, signed and dated by an independent professional with no connection to your petition.

Format Requirements for Submission

Must be complete — every word, stamp, seal, and signature notation must appear. We deliver print-ready PDFs formatted for direct USCIS filing.

Avoiding Translation Rejection

Rejected translations trigger costly RFEs and petition delays. Our certified translations are prepared to strict standards to prevent issues from the start.

Personal and Civil Documents

Legal and Court Documents

Court orders, police clearances, criminal records, and affidavits. We match expert translators to specific document types for legal terminology precision.

Medical and Healthcare Documents

Medical exam reports, vaccination records, hospital summaries, and physician letters translated by specialists familiar with clinical terminology.

Business and Corporate Documents

Company registrations, articles of incorporation, bylaws, and tax documents required for L-1, E-1, E-2, and business-backed immigration petitions.

Employment verification letters, salary certificates, and experience letters issued by foreign employers to establish work history and qualifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers about USCIS requirements, certified translations, delivery times, and document formatting.

What is a certified translation for USCIS?

A certified translation for USCIS is a complete English translation of a foreign-language document accompanied by a signed statement from the translator confirming their competence in both languages and the accuracy of the translation. USCIS does not require notarization — the translator's own certification is sufficient. Every translation we deliver includes this statement in the format USCIS adjudicators expect.

Does USCIS accept translations done by the applicant?

No. USCIS explicitly requires that translations be completed by someone other than the applicant. The translator must certify their own competence and the accuracy of the translation — an applicant cannot certify their own translation because they have a direct interest in the outcome of the petition. Using a self-translation is one of the most common reasons USCIS issues an RFE on translation grounds.

What languages do you translate from?

We translate from all major world languages into English, including Spanish, Hindi, Urdu, Mandarin, Cantonese, Portuguese, French, Arabic, Korean, Russian, Japanese, German, Tagalog, Vietnamese, and more. If your document is in a language not listed here, contact us — we cover virtually every language required in US immigration cases.

How is a page counted for translation pricing?

A standard page is an 8.5 x 11 inch document page containing up to 250 words. Multi-page documents are charged per page. Blank pages, header pages, and signature pages are still counted because USCIS requires every page of the original document to be represented in the translation. If you are unsure of your page count, submit your document and we will confirm the count and quote before work begins.

Will USCIS reject my petition if the translation is not certified?

Yes. USCIS will not accept foreign-language documents without a complete, certified English translation. If a translation is missing, incomplete, or does not include the required translator certification statement, USCIS will issue an RFE requesting a corrected translation. This delays your petition and adds cost. Every translation we deliver is formatted to meet USCIS requirements from the start.

How fast can you deliver a certified translation?

Economy plan delivers in 2 to 3 business days. Standard plan delivers the next business day. Express plan delivers the same day for documents submitted before noon. For extremely urgent situations, contact us directly via WhatsApp and we will do our best to accommodate your deadline.

Do you provide notarized translations?

USCIS does not require notarized translations — the translator's certification statement is sufficient. We provide certified translations in the format USCIS requires. If you need a notarized translation for a different purpose such as academic enrollment or professional licensing, contact us and we can discuss your specific requirements.

Can you translate handwritten documents?

Yes, we translate handwritten documents. Handwritten documents require additional care to ensure accuracy, and our translators are experienced with handwritten civil records, letters, and historical documents. If a handwritten section is illegible, we note this in the translation exactly as USCIS expects — we do not guess or fill in unclear text.

What format will I receive my translation in?

All translations are delivered as PDF documents formatted for direct USCIS submission. The PDF includes the translated document followed by the translator's certification statement. Physical printed copies are available on request for an additional fee. We retain a copy of your translation on file for 90 days in case a duplicate is needed.

Do you work with immigration attorneys?

Yes. We work directly with immigration attorneys and law firms who require certified translations for their clients' petitions. We deliver in attorney-ready format and can send translations directly to your office or to your client as preferred. Contact us to discuss volume pricing for law firm accounts.
