What Is a Certified Translation?

A certified translation refers to an official translation of any foreign language document accompanied by a signed statement from the translator or translation service. The statement attests to the completeness, accuracy, and the translator's competence to translate from the foreign language to English.

Frequently Asked Questions About Certified Translation Services

"I, [name of the translator], certify that I am fluent (conversant) in English and [source language] and that the above/attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached in [source language]."

The translator then signs and dates the statement.

While there is no specific federal or state licensing or certification for translators in the United States, government institutions in the United States (such as USCIS) accept translations provided by individuals who certify their competence to translate from the foreign language into English and possess adequate experience in the relevant legal field. 

This means that any person sufficiently proficient in both languages can translate and certify a document. However, it is advisable to use a professional translator or translation service to ensure accuracy and avoid potential issues.

The cost of a certified translation can vary significantly depending on factors such as document length, complexity, language pair, and required turnaround time. Idiomatic USA, for example, offers clear pricing based either on the page count of the documents for standarized documents, and a per-word price for longer, more complex documents.

Usually, certified translations do not require notarization. They only need a certification from the translator or translation service affirming the accuracy and completeness of the translation. However, Idiomatic USA does offer notarization services, if you would like the peace of mind of doing so.

No, you cannot translate your own documents for any type of certified translation use. Idiomatic USA strongly advises using a competent translator to avoid potential issues of bias or inaccuracies.

All US government institutions, such a USCIS, accept both hard copies and digital copies of translated documents. However, it is crucial to stay updated with the government's current submission guidelines as they may change over time.
