USCIS Requirements

What USCIS Requires From a Certified Translation

When a document submitted to USCIS contains a foreign language, it should be accompanied by a full English translation. The translator must certify that the translation is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate from the foreign language into English.

01

Full English translation

The translation should cover the entire document, not only selected parts or a summary. Names, dates, stamps, seals and visible notes should be handled carefully.

02

Signed certification statement

A certification statement is attached to the translation and confirms that the translation is complete and accurate.

03

Translator competence statement

The certification should state that the translator is competent to translate from the foreign language into English.

04

Original document copy

For most USCIS submissions, you include the original foreign-language document copy together with the certified English translation. Always check your form instructions.

Important: LJ Certified prepares USCIS-ready certified translations, but does not guarantee approval of any USCIS application or immigration benefit.

Common USCIS Translation Mistakes to Avoid

A certified translation should be complete, readable and properly certified. Avoid shortcuts that may create problems during document review.

Do not translate only the “important” parts. USCIS expects a full English translation.

Changing names inconsistently

Names, dates and document numbers should be handled carefully and consistently.
