Translation Requirements for USCIS
Getting a certified translation for the USCIS could not be easier with Certling!
Complete Translation
Every element of the document must be translated, including seals, signatures, and notations. Any omissions or inaccuracies could lead to delays or requests for additional evidence.
Certificate of Translation Accuracy
The translator must include a certification confirming the translation is complete and accurate, along with their name, signature, date, and contact information.
Work with Professional Translators
Choose a professional translator or agency that is a member of a recognized body such as the Association of Translation Companies (ATC) or American Translators Association (ATA).
Data Protection
At Certling, we prioritize your privacy. All documents are purged from our servers two weeks after delivery to ensure data security.
According to 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), “Any document containing foreign language submitted to USCIS shall be accompanied by a full English language translation which the translator has certified as complete and accurate, and by the translator's certification that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English.”
Does USCIS Require a Notarized Translation?
For most documents, USCIS does not require notarized translations. The certification statement confirming the translation’s accuracy and the translator’s competence is typically sufficient. However, certain legal documents, such as court or prison records, may require notarization if you the applicant has a criminal record (Source).
Accuracy and Completeness in Translations
Accuracy and completeness are paramount when translating documents for USCIS. Any discrepancies or missing details can lead to application delays or even denials. Translations must replicate every detail of the original document, including seals, signatures, and notations. This thoroughness helps ensure that your documents meet USCIS expectations and demonstrates the legitimacy of your application.
Common Mistakes in USCIS Translations
Some frequent errors include:
Partial Translations: Missing elements such as signatures or stamps can lead to rejections.
Poor Quality or Inaccurate Language: Misinterpretations that alter the document’s meaning jeopardize your application.
Uncertified Translations: Submitting translations without a certification often results in immediate rejections.
Selecting a professional, experienced translation service avoids these pitfalls and ensures that your application proceeds without unnecessary obstacles.

Role of Professional Translators
The role of professional translators in USCIS document preparation cannot be overstated. While it may seem sufficient to rely on someone who is bilingual, professional translation demands far more expertise. Professional translators typically have formal training in linguistics and translation methodologies, ensuring accuracy and completeness for every detail.
This expertise also brings invaluable insights into cultural nuances and appropriate local equivalents. Such context can be crucial for helping USCIS officials fully understand your documents, minimizing potential misunderstandings or requests for additional evidence.
B-1 Visitor Visa
The B-1/B-2 visitor visa is a non-immigrant visa allowing foreign nationals to travel temporarily to the United States for business (B-1), tourism (B-2), or both. It is one of the most common visas for short-term stays and is typically valid for up to 10 years with a maximum stay of 180 days per entry. View our guide here.
