Does the USCIS require certified translation?
Yes. The code states, “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.” In other words, the USCIS requires a certified English translation of all foreign documents submitted to them. These documents may include birth certificates, marriage certificates, passports, drivers licenses, divorce certificates, transcripts and more.
The USCIS translation certification requirements are quite tough to achieve, which is why we recommend working with a professional and legal translator, such as the ones we employ here at Rapid Translate. While some companies may advertise certified immigration translators, your translator doesn’t need to be specifically an expert in immigration.
If a translation is not certified, it may fail to comply with regulations of institutions such as the USCIS. This can mean rejected visas, slow application processes, and background checks.
Rapid Translate provides 100% acceptance-rate English translations. We translate from over 60 languages, including German, French, Hindi, Hebrew, and more.
How do I get a USCIS certified translation?

To get a legal translation that’s certified to be complete and accurate, you must generally use a professional translator who can guarantee satisfaction of USCIS requirements.
How much does it cost to translate a legal document?

How to avoid visa & immigration rejection?
The USCIS is uncompromising when it comes to english translation standards. If you submit a document with translation errors, they may outright deny your immigration application or may submit a request-for-evidence. Common reasons for immigration or visa application rejections include:
Minor or major inaccuracies in translation
Problems in formatting the document, indicating inauthenticity
Absence of a declaration from the translator stating accuracy
An incompetent translator
In response to the request for evidence, you must re-submit a document within a satisfactory time.
Working with a professional and certified translation service provider like Rapid Translate helps ensure 100% acceptance rate.
What’s the best way to get a certificate of translation for US immigration?
