USCIS Certified Translation Services
For immigrants in the United States, submitting accurate and complete documentation to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is a vital step in achieving their goals. When original documents are in a language other than English, USCIS requires certified translations to ensure they are understood and legally acceptable.
At Silver Bay Translations, we specialize in providing USCIS-compliant certified translation services for individuals and families. We proudly serve clients in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Florida, Arizona, California, Texas, and across the United States.
What Are USCIS Certified Translations?
A USCIS certified translation is a complete and accurate English translation of a foreign-language document, accompanied by a signed certification. The certification confirms that the translation was performed by a qualified translator who is fluent in both the original and target languages and that the translation is accurate to the best of their knowledge.
Unlike a notarized translation, which includes a notary’s seal, certified translations meet the standard requirements for most USCIS applications without additional notarization.
Why Are Certified Translations Important for Immigration?
-
USCIS Compliance
USCIS strictly requires certified translations for all foreign-language documents submitted as part of applications for visas, green cards, work permits, or citizenship. Failing to provide certified translations can result in delays or rejection of your application. -
Accuracy and Credibility
Certified translations ensure that your documents are accurately interpreted and can be trusted by immigration officers. Any errors or omissions can lead to misunderstandings or complications in your case. -
Supporting Your Case
Immigration applications often rely on vital documents to prove your identity, relationships, or qualifications. Certified translations provide the clarity and legitimacy needed to support your claims.
What Types of Documents Require Certified Translations?
Immigrants may need certified translations for a wide variety of documents, including:
-
Vital Records: Birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, and divorce decrees.
-
Academic Records: Diplomas, academic transcripts, and professional certifications.
-
Legal Documents: Court orders, police records, and affidavits.
-
Medical Records: Vaccination records, medical histories, and doctor’s notes for visa applications or waivers.
-
Government-Issued IDs: Passports, driver’s licenses, and national ID cards.
-
Employment Documents: Work contracts, letters of employment, and pay stubs.
These documents often play a key role in proving identity, eligibility, relationships, or qualifications to USCIS.
