Frequently asked questions

What are the official USCIS translation requirements?

USCIS requires a complete English translation of any foreign-language document, plus a signed translator certification confirming accuracy/completeness and translator competence.

Does USCIS accept translations that are printed from a PDF?

In many cases, yes—USCIS typically focuses on whether the translation is complete and properly certified, not whether it’s delivered digitally.

Do USCIS translations need to be notarised?

Usually no. USCIS generally requires certified translations (with a signed certification statement). Notarisation may help for other authorities, but it’s not typically a USCIS requirement.

Can I translate my own documents for USCIS?

It may be possible if you are truly competent in both languages and can provide a proper certification statement, but it can create credibility concerns—especially for key evidence.

What must a certified translation include?

A certified translation must include a full translation of all visible text, a signed Certificate of Accuracy, and the translator’s full name, contact details, signature, and date. This is the standard required by USCIS, the UK Home Office, courts, and most official bodies.

Can I send a phone photo instead of a scanned PDF?

Yes. A clear photo is fine. We’ll confirm if it’s readable and advise if a better image is needed for any page before we start.

How much does a certified translation cost?

Pricing depends on document length, language pair, and turnaround. Short standard documents are typically priced per page; multi-page packs are quoted as a set. Send your file for a free quote.

Is my document kept confidential?

Yes. Your documents are handled securely and only shared with the linguists and reviewers needed to complete your translation project.
