Frequently asked questions

How fast can I get certified translation services in Portland, OR?

Most personal documents can be completed quickly once we confirm the language pair, document length, and formatting.

Are your translations accepted by USCIS?

Yes—USCIS requires a complete English translation plus a signed certification statement.

Do I need a notarised translation for immigration?

Often, no. Many immigration filings accept a certified translation without notarisation.

What counts as a “certified translation”?

A certified translation is a complete, accurate translation accompanied by a signed certification statement.

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.
