Questions
What documents require certified translation for USCIS?
USCIS requires certified translations for all foreign language documents including birth certificates, marriage certificates, and police records. Our translations include the translator's certification of accuracy.
What's the difference between certified and notarized translation?
Certified translation includes a translator's statement of accuracy. Notarized translation adds official verification by a notary public. Most USCIS applications only require certified translation unless specifically requested otherwise.
How quickly can you complete urgent translations?
Emergency passport translations are completed within 24 hours, including FedEx shipping options. Standard document translations take 12-24 hours with guaranteed completion times provided at order placement.
Do you offer apostille services for all states?
We provide federal apostille services through the U.S. Department of State and state-level apostilles for all 50 states. Our team handles coordination with appropriate government agencies for document authentication.
Can I speak directly with the translator?
Yes, we encourage direct communication with our professional translators. Clients receive a dedicated contact person for their project to ensure complete understanding of specific requirements and formatting needs.
