Government agencies (such as the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services – or “USCIS“) require certified translations for documents like birth certificates, marriage licenses, academic records, and financial statements.
Errors or missing information can cause significant delays or even rejections.
Why Certified Translations Matter
Certified translations ensure that official documents maintain their accuracy and credibility when submitted to immigration authorities.
A certified translation includes a signed statement from the translator or translation agency, affirming that the translation is complete and accurate.
This is essential because USCIS and other government bodies do not accept self-translated documents or translations that lack proper certification.
Common Documents Requiring Certified Translation
When applying for visas, green cards, or U.S. citizenship, you may need certified translations of:
- Birth certificates
- Marriage and divorce certificates
- Academic diplomas and transcripts
- Financial documents (such as bank statements)
- Police records and court documents
Each document must be translated with precision, ensuring that names, dates, and official terminology match the original content.
Any mistakes in these translations can lead to processing delays or application denials.
The Impact of U.S. Immigration Policies
U.S. immigration policies constantly evolve, affecting how applications are processed.
Recent policy updates have reinforced the importance of submitting complete and accurate documentation.
Incomplete applications or improper translations can lead to Requests for Evidence (RFEs), slowing down the entire immigration process.
Working with professional translators ensures compliance with current requirements and increases the chances of a successful application.
