What “USCIS certified” means
USCIS does not certify translators—the translator certifies the translation.
The federal rule focuses on a full, complete and accurate English translation and the translator's competence. It does not create a USCIS translator licence or impose a general ATA-membership or notarization requirement.
Get Instant QuoteFull English translationThe complete foreign-language document must be translated, not only selected passages or a summary.
Complete and accurateThe translator certifies that the English translation fully and accurately reflects the source document.
Competence certifiedThe translator certifies their competence to translate from the source language into English.
Build a complete filing package
Submit the source document with the English translation.
The certified translation accompanies the foreign-language evidence; it does not replace it. USCIS form instructions commonly direct applicants to submit legible photocopies unless an original is specifically requested, and USCIS may request an original later.
Every part of the source document should be addressed. Stamps, seals, signatures, annotations and handwriting should be translated where readable or clearly marked when illegible.
This page explains translation services, not immigration legal advice. Always follow the current instructions for your specific USCIS form, notice or request, and consult qualified immigration counsel where appropriate.

Good to know
USCIS certified translation questions.
Clear answers before you upload a document or pay for an order.
What is a USCIS certified translation?
It is a full English translation accompanied by the translator's certification that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate from the foreign language into English. USCIS does not issue a special translator credential for this purpose.
Does USCIS certify translators?
No. The phrase “USCIS certified translation” describes a translation prepared for a USCIS filing. The translator, not USCIS, certifies the completeness and accuracy of the translation and their competence to translate it.
What information is included in the translator certification?
Our certification identifies the translated material, states that the translation is complete and accurate, confirms the translator's competence, and includes the translator's signature, printed name, date and contact information.
Does USCIS require the translation to be notarized?
The general rule in 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires a full English translation and the translator's certification; it does not impose a general notarization requirement. Follow the instructions for the particular form, notice or receiving authority if it asks for something additional.
Does the translator need ATA certification?
The general USCIS rule does not require ATA membership or name a particular professional credential. It requires the translator to certify competence, completeness and accuracy. A qualified independent professional translator can provide a clearer, more impartial record for an important filing.
Can I translate my own documents for USCIS?
The regulation focuses on the translator's certification and competence rather than naming a particular credential. For an important filing, many applicants use an independent professional translator. Always follow the instructions for your specific form, request for evidence or legal counsel.
Do I submit the foreign-language document too?
Yes. The English translation accompanies the foreign-language evidence; it does not replace it. Submit a legible copy of the source document unless the applicable USCIS instructions specifically request an original.
Can I submit a partial or summary translation?
The USCIS rule calls for a full English translation. The translation should cover the complete document, including relevant stamps, seals, annotations and handwriting, rather than only selected passages.
Which USCIS documents can you translate?
Common documents include birth, marriage and divorce certificates, passports, identity records, police and court records, adoption and custody records, academic and employment evidence, medical records and other foreign-language supporting documents.
What does the USCIS translation acceptance guarantee cover?
The guarantee covers acceptance of the translation package for USCIS translation requirements. It does not guarantee approval of the underlying immigration petition, application or case, which USCIS decides based on the complete filing and applicable eligibility requirements.
How do I order?
Start the secure quote, upload the complete source-language document, choose English and your delivery option, then review the exact total before payment.
